5 Tips to Make Your Wedding Day Unforgettable
And the Best Way to Relive It Forever
I've filmed nearly 200 weddings, and if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that the perfect wedding isn’t about perfection—it’s about connection, emotion, and presence. Here are 5 things I’ve seen that consistently make a wedding day truly special.
1. Your People
It doesn’t matter whether it’s 10 people or 400, the people who are there on your wedding day should bring you joy! It makes me so happy when I see a couple stand up to do their speech at the end of the night, look out at everyone’s faces and be genuinely grateful for everyone in that room.
2. Breathing room
Too often have I seen a run sheet with activities timed out to the minute. Wedding days are full of surprises and the last thing you want is to feel like your whole day is unravelling because you’re “running behind” - I’ve got a full guide on crafting the perfect wedding day timeline that you can read here
3. Trust
Doesn’t matter how hands-on or hands-off you are when it comes to planning your wedding, when the day finally arrives, you have to let it all go… Trust that the people around you all want to make your wedding day the best it can possibly be and your job now is just to relax and enjoy it.
4. Good vendors
A good vendor is worth their weight in gold. Their advice on what works, what doesn’t and why can save you time, stress and money when it comes to creating the perfect day for you.
5. Good words
For me, this is one of the most overlooked and yet potentially most impactful parts of a wedding day. A great speech, heartfelt vows… these are what bring everyone together and make a wedding more than just a party. When I see the look in a couple’s eyes as their best friend or family member is giving and incredible speech… it’s magic.
