Every flower perfectly placed 🌸 every detail intentionally styled — the wedding reception is set and ready to shine ✨

Before the room fills with laughter, love, and dancing, it’s so important to capture it in its untouched beauty. An empty room allows your photographers to document the space exactly as envisioned. These shots preserve the magic of the design before it all comes to life!

Reasons you should avoid photos during cocktail ho

Reasons you should avoid photos during cocktail hour..

1. Timing
I know an hour seems like a lot of time, but it’s really not. Especially if you have family, wedding party and couples portraits you are trying to get done in that amount of time. You will feel very rushed and possibly not get all of the shots you wanted!

2. Less time with your guests
You just got married! You’re bursting with excitement after walking back down the aisle hand in hand with all of your favorite people watching. Then you are immediately pulled away for photos. You don’t get to spend time with all of your guests and enjoy your cocktail hour. The day goes by so fast, so enjoy every moment you can!

3. Receive less portraits back
When you do photos before hand it allows for more time. We are able to get a different variety of photos and poses. Your photo/video team will have more time to be creative and give you those shots you’ve always dreamt of!

Remeber this is YOUR day and you can choose to do

Remeber this is YOUR day and you can choose to do whatever it is YOU want 🤍

1. Favors
We see these get left behind so often at weddings. Save your money here! Unless it’s something people will really want or use. No offense, but not many people are going to use the coozie again with your names & wedding date on it 🙈

2. Bouquet/Garter Toss
This is mainly being phased out. Not to say we still don’t see it being done sometimes, but it doesn’t fit into most modern weddings anymore for a number of reasons. The main reason we’ve heard is that it can be awkward & uncomfortable for some guests. Totally depends on you & your crowd though!

3. “Public” Cake Cutting
You do not have to do the traditional cake cutting where all of your guests gather to watch. This is preference of course! If you’d rather have a private cake cutting or even opt out for something else like a champagne tower that is totally fine 🥂

A lot of couples are now adding private vows into

A lot of couples are now adding private vows into their wedding day timeline! This means taking a few moments, typically right after the first look, to say your own written vows to one another.

As a photographer, I am all for this! It’s a great opportunity for us to capture authentic & intimate moments. We are able to be far enough away that it still feels completely private. The day is a whirlwind, so it’s the perfect time to slow it down just the two of you!
