Your wedding day is one of the most important moments of your life, and ensuring your photos reflect the magic of the occasion is essential. At Northampton Photography, we’ve seen how a little preparation can make a huge difference. Here are the seven most common wedding photography mistakes – and how to avoid them.
1. Not Booking Early Enough
Great photographers are in high demand and often get booked years in advance. Waiting too long could mean missing out on the perfect photographer for your big day. To secure your date with Northampton Photography, we recommend booking as soon as your wedding plans are finalised.
2. Skipping the Engagement Shoot
An engagement shoot is more than just a nice addition – it’s an invaluable opportunity to get comfortable in front of the camera and build a relationship with your photographer. We’ll help you ease any nerves and understand your style, making your wedding day even more relaxed and natural.
3. Neglecting a Photo Timeline
Without a clear timeline, important shots may get missed or feel rushed. At Northampton Photography, we work with you to craft a timeline that ensures there’s time for every cherished moment – from getting ready to your first dance.
4. Forgetting to Communicate Your Priorities
Your wedding is unique, and so are your photography needs. Whether it’s special family portraits, candid moments, or intricate details, share your priorities with us in advance to guarantee your must-have shots are captured.
5. Not Considering Lighting
Lighting is key to stunning wedding photos. We’ll advise you on how to make the most of your venue’s lighting, whether it’s soft natural light for an outdoor ceremony or ambient evening glow for your reception.
6. Overlooking the Importance of a Second Shooter
A second photographer allows us to cover multiple angles and moments simultaneously, especially at larger weddings. We’re happy to discuss this option to ensure no moment is missed.
7. Trying to Control Everything
While it’s important to share your vision, trusting your photographer is equally vital. With Northampton Photography, you can relax knowing we’ll capture your day with creativity, professionalism, and an eye for those spontaneous, magical moments.
