BEST HACKS for a stress free WEDDING

Groom at his wedding in San Diego, California

Hey there! If you're about to embark on the adventure of a lifetime, a.k.a. planning your wedding, then consider these simple tips to keep that wedding day smoother than a silk wedding gown on an ice rink dance floor. As a seasoned wedding photographer, I've seen it all and I've gathered some top-tier tips to keep your big day stress-free and full of connection + laughter.

  1. Embrace the Chaos: Let's face it, not everything in a wedding goes exactly as planned. So instead of stressing about every little detail, roll with the punches and embrace the chaos. Hiring amazing, seasoned wedding vendors will help you flying seamlessly past any hurdles so you can stay calm on focus on what is truly important: celebrating your relationship while connecting with friends and family.

  2. Delegate : You're the captain of this ship, but that doesn't mean you have to do everything yourself. Delegate some tasks to trusted friends and family members. Best yet, bring on a day of coordinator to handle the dirty work!

  3. Stay Hydrated (and not with just Champagne): Hydration is key, my friends, especially when you're dancing the night away. So mach each glass of bubbly with some H2O and party strong into the late hours.

  4. Create a Wedding Survival Kit: Pack a handy-dandy wedding survival kit filled with a few essentials like safety pins, bandades and some aspirin.

  5. Unplug and Unwind: In a world obsessed with Instagram likes and Tik Tok, take a moment to unplug and savor the magic of the moment. Put down your phone, soak in the love radiating from your nearest and dearest, and cherish every precious memory. Your photographer will make sure your wedding is captured so you don’t have to.

So there you have it, my friends – five super simple hacks to keep your wedding stress-free. Remember, it's not about achieving perfection, but rather embracing the beautifully messy journey of love.
