Okay, so your wedding is a pretty big deal. There is a lot to organize, so many decisions to be made, and months of planning every little detail. When it gets to the big day, it’s time to chill out and let it all happen.
Remember, you have put together your perfect team of vendors to be there for you every step of the way. We know you want to look good on that special day, trust us when we say you will…especially if you are having fun with wedding photography!
Live Happy Studio likes to have fun with all of their clients. They believe that your wedding should be the happiest day ever, not the most stressful. Here are some tips from Kellie and Lindsay to make your wedding day more fun and your images filled with smiles and laughs.
Be Yourself
People look their best when they are relaxed, so don’t overthink it just because there is a photographer there! Do what you normally do and have fun doing it. Just pretend we are not there (it’s pretty easy with us, as Kellie is only 5-ft. tall; she’s easy to miss).
We will be there to get all the amazing moments without you worrying about “faking it.” The best smiles are the real ones. A “cheese” smile only uses the muscles in your lower face, a real smile (one that lights up a room) comes from the eyes.
You can’t fake a real smile, so instead of worrying about how you look or if your arm is in the right place, just have fun.
Don’t Worry About Time
Stressing about timing isn’t going to make your day any more fun, plus it means you’re going to look stressed in all of your pictures! Let the people you have hired do their thing and don’t worry about time.
Most couples we work with seem to think they are late when they are not. Slow down and enjoy the day. As photographers, we know we have a set amount of time for portraits and that’s why we move quickly. It’s our aim to get all of your images done ASAP so you can relax and maybe even join your cocktail hour. If your ceremony is running a few minutes behind, don’t worry, we’ll work on fast forward and make sure you get to dinner on time.
Ridiculous Portraits
Okay, so we need the traditional family portraits. We’ll make sure we get those done first, then it’s time to have some fun.
There’s always one person in a wedding party that’s up for anything. (We like this person.) When I ask who it is, all fingers usually point in the same direction. (Can you think of who this is in your group?)
Remember, not all of the images have to be pretty and perfect. Why not have one where you are striking a pose, being chased by a T-Rex or pointing in different directions for no reason at all? Not only do these moments create fun images, but they also create a moment for us just after that to capture candid moments of you all laughing at how silly you just were.
Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff
There are a million little details that you pull together for a wedding. If one tiny thing didn’t work out, don’t worry!
So many couples are concerned that something isn’t right for the guests. The likelihood is that people didn’t notice the different type of flower in your bouquet or that the napkin was the wrong color! It will look amazing and your guests will love it, and we’ll be there to make sure every little detail is captured.
Get Up and Dance
We love all the special moments that a wedding brings, but some of the most outrageous are the ones from the reception.
If you are on the dance floor, then everyone will be on the dance floor, and that makes for some pretty cool pictures. Especially when your 92-year-old granny who never dances decides to jump on the dance floor and grind it up (yes, that has happened). Drag them all on the dance floor and make them show you their moves….even if they don’t have any. It will make for great pictures.
Your wedding day really will be one of the most memorable of your life. Focus on the fun and all the amazing things that happen and that’s what you’ll remember for a lifetime!
