If you’re like many other people planning a wedding, you’ve spent a lot of time on Pinterest looking at wedding photography. While that can give you some great ideas, it can also be overwhelming to have so much information at your fingertips. What to do?
Pick and choose. Of course, all the photos on Pinterest will look fantastic. But really go through and choose which ones you truly like. While that picture of the wedding party’s shoes all lined up is adorable, if your wedding party isn’t wearing fancy footwear, the picture just won’t be the same.
Talk with your photographer. Perhaps that perfect picture you saw used a particular filter or set-up. If you talk with your photographer ahead of time, you can work together to find what pictures you like and the photographer can accommodate. But, remember, you hired your photographer for a reason. He or she may have a very different artistic view than the things you’ve seen elsewhere. Trust that they will help guide your vision to what will look perfect for your day.

Don’t expect an exact replica. A lot of the wedding photography you see features professional models and extensive lighting. Your photos, your clothing, everything, will be different. You won’t get an exact copy of the pictures you saw online, but you will get your versions of them. Enjoy the keepsakes from your special day.
On a side note, happy Valentine’s Day to all our engaged, soon-to-be engaged and happily married couples out there!
