Your wedding day should feel joyful, relaxed, and full of unforgettable moments. After photographing weddings for over 15 years, I've seen firsthand what helps a wedding day flow smoothly and what can create unnecessary stress. If you're currently planning your wedding, here are seven common wedding day mistakes couples make and simple ways to avoid them.

Woodring Wedding Ryan & Alizae’s wedding day was one of those days that reminds me why I love what I do so much. From the very first time I met them, I instantly enjoyed being around them. I actually first met Ryan and Alizae when they were part of another wedding’s bridal party last spring, and ever since then, I’ve been blown away by this incredible group of friends.

From the moment I met Nick and Abbie, I knew they were going to be so much fun to work with. They’re the kind of couple that is completely laid back and just goes with the flow. Their engagement session was full of laughter, easy moments, and the kind of energy that makes my job feel effortless.

From the moment they arrived, it was nonstop laughter, sweet stories, and so much love in the air. These two are completely at ease with each other—playful, kind, and full of joy—and it made for the dreamiest session.
