The difference between a wedding that feels calm and one that feels chaotic usually has very little to do with how many things are happening.
That’s what surprises most people.
After almost a decade around weddings, I’ve photographed wedding days packed with activities that still felt relaxed and fun, but I’ve also photographed wedding days with plenty of free time that somehow felt stressful from the very beginning.
The difference is usually how the day was built.
The most relaxed weddings are the weddings where couples identified what mattered most and built the timeline around those priorities.
They gave themselves enough time to get ready, they created room for conversations and they weren’t constantly rushing from one thing to the next.
But most importantly, they stopped trying to do everything.
Social media has convinced couples that a fun wedding needs to be packed with activities and surprises.
But from what I’ve seen, the weddings people enjoy most usually have space to laugh with friends, hug family members and to actually sit down during dinner.
You deserve space to look around the room and actually absorb what’s happening.
Because calm and fun aren’t opposites! In fact, the weddings that feel the most fun are often the ones where people felt comfortable enough to fully enjoy themselves.
The goal Is to create a wedding day with enough room to experience everything that’s already there. Follow me if you’re trying to build a day where you feel comfortable and have fun!
