CEREMONY<br />

It’s finally time! The moment everyone has been waiting<br />

for! In a world of Pinterest and bridal magazines, it’s easy<br />

to be overwhelmed and consumed by the “prettiness” of the<br />

event. While details do matter, it’s important to never lose<br />

sight of the real purpose of this amazing day!<br />

If you get married outdoors at 12pm, the lighting will be<br />

harsh on you, your faces, and your guests, and most people<br />

will end up squinting! I suggest planning an outdoor<br />

ceremony 2 hours before sunset if you are planning on a<br />

First Look, and 3 hours before if not, to make sure you have<br />

plenty of light after for formal photographs! If planning an<br />

indoor ceremony, it is always best to have EVEN lighting at<br />

the altar. Two spotlights on the bride & groom means I can’t<br />

expose properly for the bridal party. It is better to have soft,<br />

even light across the whole altar<br />

Hiring an event planner or just a day-of coordinator can<br />

make your life so much easier! Without a coordinator,<br />

responsibilities for timeline will fall on the mother of the<br />

bride, the photographer, or worst yet the bride herself!<br />

All of my most stressful weddings were caused by a lack<br />

of coordination and organization! Even the most flawless<br />

timelines can fall apart without someone to organize.
