How to Make the Most of Your Wedding Photos

Your wedding day will fly by in the blink of an eye — trust me. But the photos? They’re how you’ll relive it forever.

As a Bathurst wedding photographer, I’ve learned a few simple tips that make all the difference when it comes to creating photos that feel relaxed, emotional, and so you.

Here’s how to make the most of every moment in front of the camera.

💛 1. Choose a photographer you actually vibe with

This is number one for a reason. When you’re comfortable around your photographer, your photos will reflect it. You’ll laugh more, relax faster, and your gallery will feel like you — not something staged or awkward.

✨ 2. Trust the process

You chose your photographer for their style and vision — now it’s time to let them do their thing. I’ll guide you through prompts and moments that feel natural, not forced. The more you let go, the more magic we can create.

🌿 3. Focus on connection, not perfection

Forget the Pinterest poses and just be together. Hold hands. Whisper something funny. Take a breath and soak it all in. The little in-between moments always end up being the ones you love most.

📸 4. Give yourself time for golden hour

If there’s one thing I always recommend — it’s making time for golden hour portraits. That warm Bathurst light adds the most romantic, cinematic glow to your photos. Even 10–15 minutes makes a world of difference.

🕊 5. Embrace the unplanned moments

Your flower girl might steal the show, someone might trip on the dance floor, or your veil might fly away mid-photo — and those moments? They’re perfection. Real life always tells the best story.

🕯 6. Create space for just the two of you

Sneak away for a few quiet minutes together during the day. It gives you a breather, and those calm, connected moments make for some of the most meaningful photos of all.

💌 Final thoughts

Your wedding photos should feel like you — real, honest, and full of emotion. Forget perfect; go for true. That’s where the beauty lives.
