Tips for the Happy Couple: Making the Most of Your Wedding Photography
Your wedding day is one of the most important milestones in your life, and capturing those moments beautifully is our passion at Schexnayder & James Wedding Photography. To help you get the most out of your wedding photos, here are some friendly, practical tips straight from our husband-and-wife photography team.
1. Start With a Clear Vision
Before your big day, take time to discuss what style of photos you love—whether it’s candid, traditional, artistic, or a mix. Sharing inspiration images and telling your photographers about the moments you value most helps us tailor our approach to your unique story.
2. Prioritize Your Shot List
Make a list of must-have photos to ensure no special moment goes unnoticed. Include family portraits, special details (like heirloom jewelry or personalized decor), and those candid interactions you cherish. We will guide you through this process so nothing is missed!
3. Schedule Time for Couple Portraits
It’s easy to get caught up in the whirlwind of events, but carving out quiet, quality time for just the two of you allows us to capture your connection intimately. Trust us, these portraits will become timeless treasures.
4. Embrace Natural Light
Whenever possible, opt for outdoor or well-lit spaces, especially during golden hour—the hour just before sunset—for soft, warm photos. We will work with the natural light to create stunning imagery that feels organic and heartfelt.
5. Relax and Be Yourselves
The best photographs come when you’re relaxed and genuine. Remember, we’re here to make the experience fun and stress-free. Laugh, dance, and enjoy the day—the camera will capture your authentic joy.
6. Communicate Openly With Your Photographer
Weeks before the wedding, schedule a consultation to express your preferences and any concerns. Transparent communication helps us understand your vision and allows us to customize the photo experience just for you.
7. Trust the Process
Every wedding day has moments that don’t go exactly as planned. Trust your photographers to adapt creatively and turn those moments into beautiful memories. Flexibility and positivity go a long way!
We’re honored to be part of your wedding journey and can’t wait to help you tell your story through artful, heartfelt photography.
