Wedding tip: pacing yourself on your wedding day

pace yourself on your wedding day

Your wedding day is such a fun, special, beautiful day.  Once in a lifetime, something you will always remember, the day you marry the man or the woman of your dreams.

But there’s something I have learned from photographing weddings: it is a long day, there are a lot of things to tick off as you go, a lot of things to remember, plenty of people to talk to, lots of walking, talking, laughing.  It’s fun…and it’s tiring too.  It’s a long day for a photographer and it is a long day for you too.

So you need to be prepared, physically, mentally, so that you can last the whole day without it becoming an exhausting marathon.  Here are a few tips to help you:

* don’t forget to eat something before the ceremony (and after)

* drink plenty of water

* remember to take little breaks and breathe

* bring a spare set of comfortable shoes for when you have your photos taken after the ceremony.  You may have to walk some distance to get to that beautiful spot…and back.

* let your photographer be your brain – they will know what comes next, what time you have to get back to the reception, the photos that must be taken.

* enjoy the ride, go with the flow, relax, and most important of all: have fun.
