The Most Important Wedding Day Moments You’ll Want to Capture
Your wedding day is a whirlwind of emotions, love, and moments that feel like they’re straight out of a rom-com. While you’ll remember the big moments, like your vows or the kiss, there are so many smaller, heartfelt scenes you’ll want to treasure forever. That’s where your photographer (ahem, me) comes in, ready to freeze those split seconds into memories you can relive for years.
Here’s a rundown of the must-capture moments that’ll make your wedding album the ultimate highlight reel.
1. Getting Ready: The Calm Before the Storm
This is where the magic starts—your glam squad doing their thing, your friends hyping you up, and the nervous excitement buzzing in the air. Those quiet moments with your mom adjusting your veil or your best friend handing you champagne? Pure gold.
2. The Details That Make It You
From your bouquet to your shoes, wedding rings, and invitations—these little details tell your story. Maybe it’s the heirloom bracelet your grandma gave you or the custom cufflinks your partner is rocking. These shots are the perfect way to capture the essence of your day.

3. The First Look (or the Walk Down the Aisle)
Whether you’re doing a private first look or saving it for the aisle, that moment when you see each other for the first time is straight-up magic. Tears, laughter, or a jaw-drop—whatever your reaction, it’s going to be one of the most emotional moments of the day.
4. The Ceremony: The Heart of It All
This is what it’s all about—your vows, the exchange of rings, and that first kiss as a married couple. But don’t forget the in-between moments, like the way your partner looks at you while you’re walking down the aisle or the laughter during a funny officiant story.
5. The “Just Married” Glow
That moment right after the ceremony when you’re officially hitched? It’s pure bliss. Whether you’re walking back down the aisle hand-in-hand or sneaking away for a private moment, this is when the love feels extra real.
6. Family and Friends Love
From hugs with your parents to your bestie’s over-the-top toast, the connections you share with your loved ones are what make your day so special. These candid, emotional moments are what’ll have you tearing up when you flip through your album.
7. Epic Couple Portraits
This is your time to shine. Whether you’re striking a romantic pose or goofing off with your new spouse, these portraits are all about capturing the vibe of your love story. Bonus points if we can snag some golden-hour light for that chef’s kiss glow.
