Digital wedding albums cost significantly less than hard copy printed versions and offer more flexibility. You can print favorite photos later at your leisure and share digital files easily with family. This single decision can save £200-500 while preserving all your memories in high resolution.

A first look (seeing each other before the ceremony) allows you to capture couple and wedding party photos before guests arrive, meaning you won't miss cocktail hour. You'll be more relaxed for photos, have better lighting earlier in the day, and get to spend more time with guests during the reception. It also creates an intimate moment between just the two of you before the whirlwind begins.
While your photographer knows standard shots, create a list of 10-15 must-have photos specific to your family and priorities: specific family combinations (especially if divorced/remarried parents), detail shots of heirlooms, your venue's best angles, and any special moments you've planned. Also create a list of VIP guests your photographer should prioritize. This ensures nothing important is missed during the hectic day.
Make a prioritized list of 10-15 must-have photos (specific family groupings, venue details, special moments) for your photographer. Don't micromanage every shot—they're the pro—but ensure they capture what matters most to you. Share this 2 weeks before the wedding.
