Thank you October for the amazing weather! I’ve

Thank you October for the amazing weather! I’ve been loving spending so much time outdoors!

Where do you spend your days when the temperature is lower than 80 degrees?! I’m currently working with friends at @armadilloden. 🍻

Feeling the pressure of your big day? This is norm

Feeling the pressure of your big day? This is normal!!

As the wedding day approaches so can the nerves of making sure the day is perfect! Creating a plan ensures you are spending your time in the joyful moments and embracing all the love the day brings!! Below are 5 photography planning tips I’ve developed to help produce this seamless day!

1. Be strategic with scheduling! Work with your photographer to figure out how long things will take, schedule travel time, and always add a little grace period!

2. Prepare ahead of time! If there is anything you want photographed specifically have it ready! The less time I spend gathering items the more intentional I can be with my time and photos!

3. Communicate clearly! Make sure that everyone who has a rule in the special day has a schedule! Be clear when telling them where and when to be somewhere!

4. Make time for photography! I always encourage first looks to allow for a moment of intimacy between the couple, alone! This also knocks out some posed photos and allows more time for candid shots!

5. Just be present! Set aside breaks in the schedule we’re you can step away from the party and simply “be”. This moment is about experiencing the union and the beginning of your new marriage!

Having these five tips guide you will result in a beautiful, memorable, stress-free day!

Let me know if there is something you did or are doing to eliminate part of the wedding day stress! Always here for new tips and tricks! 👏🏻

Talk about coming full circle, Shea was the first mentor I had at my very first big girl job. Having the opportunity to photograph this beautiful couple was definitely an extra special moment for me!

Swipe to see who stole the show at their wedding… don’t we wish we were all as photogenic as LuLu? 😉

A girls gotta do what a girls gotta do!

Y’all…being 5’4” at these receptions is no joke, but I make it work with the help of a chair or two!! Is it just me or do these groomsmen keep getting taller and taller??
