As an Atlanta wedding photographer I often get asked for advice on weddings. The one piece of advice I give every bride and groom is “this is your wedding”. I think sometimes people forget that the wedding day is a celebration of their love and their vows to each other.

Often a bride and groom get overwhelmed by all the decisions that have to be made for the wedding. They have friends saying one thing and parents saying another thing. But this is their wedding. As a matter of fact I love it when a couple makes it their wedding. What I mean by that is when people come to the wedding they can see the personalities of the bride and groom reflected throughout the wedding day. Guests may see it in the wedding invitation, the food they serve, the decorations and even how they say their vows to each other. I have even seen people incorporate their pets in their weddings. I think your pets are part of the family too. They live with you and love you unconditionally!

I also tell people that everyone who is at their wedding is there because they love them. I think that puts the couple at ease when they hear that.

That leads me to this last piece of advice I give people on their wedding day. I tell them when they are at the altar to look around and be thankful that they have so many people that love them. Sometimes that gets lost in the minutiae of the wedding day of, like when you are thinking about flowers, seating arrangements and the timelines of the wedding day. Just take a little time and reflect on some of your greatest gifts of the wonderful people in your lives.

In closing, I would remind my bride and groom that “this is your wedding”! Be present on your wedding day and appreciate it. It is easy to get overwhelmed at all the moving parts to the wedding, but you have made this moment in time about love. Love is God’s greatest gift to us all. It is meant to be shared and celebrated!
