You must have fun on your wedding day! Forget about those minor problems or insignificant details. Enjoy every moment of your day. So.....laugh a lot, make funny expressions, be free and be playful. Don’t forget, this is YOUR day and it’s a day to really be happy and to celebrate!
1. Keep in mind where you're getting ready. One of the first things I do when I get to the bride's house the on her wedding day is check out the location and see where I can best shoot details and you getting into your gown. I look for a space with good light that is somewhat clutter free. So a room with windows and space to move around is great. I sometimes move a few things around to clean up the background. A towel on the dresser, an unmade bed, hairspray sitting on the counter....all those things can be distracting to an image and if I can move them...I will. So if you're getting ready at home try to have a place that fits that description or at least try to keep it clutter free!

2. Give up control. This is your day....you've spent a great deal of time pouring your ideas, heart and soul into it and you should be able to enjoy the fruits of your labor. If you don't have a wedding planner then I'd suggest you find someone you trust and is organized that will be your "go to" person for the wedding weekend. Give them all the details of things to be taken care of that day (like where will the flowers be delivered to?), they will worry about them. All you need to worry about is making sure you soak up every single second of the wedding day.
3. Have a schedule. (this ties in with #2!) I like to give my couples my schedule for the wedding day. They know where I plan on being at what time and what and where I'm expecting them at specific points in the day. It's not a hard and fast schedule but it's definitely something I work from and refer to throughout the day. It's also super helpful for me to have your cell number (or a bridesmaids) just in case! You should have had a conversation or two with your photographer going over your expectations and must have shots of the day. Having a plan avoids any unforseen issues like missing half the wedding party at a photo location.
4. Be prepared! Be ready for what the weather brings. Your photographer should have a back up plan in case the weather is completely sour on your wedding day. This is something to ask your photographer before you hire...."do you have a back up plan?". Your wedding day may dawn with boiling, cloudy skies ready to dump a pile of rain, a little sprinkle, it may be -30 degrees outside or it may be a nice partly cloudy, overcast day. Whatever the season, make sure to have yourself prepared to be outside in not so great weather. So that means, bring a jacket, mitts, rubber boots or blanket if needed. I always have umbrellas and a blanket to sit on, but you need to provide your own coat!
5. Smile, enjoy every moment, and show your love! There is nothing I love more than a couple that is interacting with eachother. A wedding image is so much more appealing when the couple is smiling at eachother and showing their feelings!
Nothing makes me happier at the end of a wedding day to say goodbye to my couple and give them a hug. I love hearing, "Thank you soooo much! The photos were so easy and we had a great time." Sigh...job well done.
