How to Actually Have Fun at Your Wedding : 6 Tips from a Wedding Photographer

🥳
Your big day is finally here! You've spent months (maybe even years) planning every gorgeous detail, and now it's time to let loose and have the time of your life! Here are a few tips to help you relax and enjoy every moment:

🌬
1. Take a deep breath. It's natural to feel a little nervous or overwhelmed, but don't let those feelings take over. Take a deep breath and remind yourself why you're here - to celebrate your love with the people you care about most. There’s nothing you won’t be able to handle… and laugh about later.

2. All hail the hype bringers! Surround yourself with hype people and people who keep you grounded: Your wedding day is all about celebrating love, friends and family, so surround yourself with people who know that too. Side note: Hype person is one of my favorite hats to wear on a wedding day.

3. Enjoy the small moments: Your wedding day will literally fly by 🦅 so take a moment to look into your partner's eyes, pet all the dogs you see (duh), and savor the taste of wedding cake smushed on your face.

4. Don’t sweat the small stuff. Sometimes the unexpected moments (like it raining during these cuties’ first look) are the best moments. I love helping my couples schedule their days so that when the unexpected happens (and it always does), we have room for adventure!

5. Lean on your photographer: As wedding photographers, our job is to capture all the special moments of your big day and to help you feel comfortable in front of our lens. Don't worry about posing for the camera. Just be yourself and have fun, I got you, boo!

6. Shake that tushy. Dance like nobody's watching: Your wedding day is the perfect opportunity to let loose and dance like nobody's watching (even if they are). Don't worry about looking silly - shake that tushy.
