Our advice to couples… ALWAYS prioritize experience and intention over aesthetic. 🤍 This morning we’re reminiscing on Savanna and Hunter’s perfect intimate wedding. It was a simple gathering at a cozy cabin in the woods, they got married under the twinkle lights with the closest few surrounding them. There was so much love and intention on this day. We’ll never forget it! ✨

Your engagement session should be as unique as your love story. Here’s how to make it unforgettable. 📷💕

🤍1. Choose a Location That Tells Your Story 🤍
Where you met, your favorite date spot, or a place you both love—it’s not just a backdrop; it’s part of your story.

🤍2. Incorporate What You Love🤍
Bring along your dog, your favorite coffee mugs, or even your hobby gear. Little touches make a big difference.

🤍 3. Wear What Feels Like YOU. 🤍
Stick to outfits that make you feel confident and comfortable. Complement each other without matching perfectly.

🤍 4. Make It an Experience 🤍
Do something you love—have a picnic, go hiking, or grab ice cream. Activities bring your photos to life.

🤍 5. Embrace the Moment 🤍
The best photos happen when you’re being yourselves. Laugh, play, and enjoy this special time together.

Ready to make your session uniquely you? Let’s plan it together—DM us! 😘

Her dad’s reaction! 🥹

Your wedding day is one big giant moment. It’s the perfect time to gather family and friends together all in one place to celebrate the commitment you are making.

We celebrate with you because we value the longevity in marriage. There is something timeless about capturing the authentic and raw moments on a day like this. If photographers didn’t exist it would be hard to explain these emotions and even then photos are the tip of the iceberg.

That’s why we always recommend getting video if you can because it’s the closest thing you can get to actually being there.

If you’re curious about how we get moments like these—DM us!

5 ways to create a stress-free wedding day ➡️ It’s surprising how many couples overlook the last one!

1️⃣ Prioritize experiences over details: Experiences create memories, not décor. Take time to enjoy your partner, family, and friends. In the end, it’s about celebrating your love, not a flawless aesthetic. Always keep that in mind. 
2️⃣ Focus on the moment and be present: It’s not about perfect photos, it’s about real, raw moments. Take time to be present. It’s a day to celebrate your relationship. Focus on that, and the photos will reflect your joy. 
3️⃣ Trust your photographer’s eye: There’s a reason you hired a pro. You can trust their experience to capture the best of your day. Your photographer is there to capture moments naturally. Enjoy the day as if they aren’t there. 
4️⃣ Embrace imperfections: Embrace your uniqueness and let go of Pinterest pressure. Keep it authentic, not Pinterest-perfect. 
5️⃣ Allow space in your timeline: Build a relaxed timeline with breaks. You’ll enjoy the day without rushing. Taking it all in requires a pause. Make eye contact with your partner, share a laugh, and truly be there.

You won’t regret you did these 5 things ❤️

EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT! The last workshop we put together for our team went so well, that we decided to do another one and sell tickets! 🎉💕 https://dearlybeloved-weddings.com/dbw-workshops SAVE THE DATE: Monday, August 26, 2024 @conestogahouseandgardens What makes our workshop different? Read this review from one of our shooters: “I am not a fan of styled shoots. It’s usually just a competitive atmosphere with little to no collaboration amongst the photographers. I went to one styled shoot years ago and have since sworn them off… that is until Kristen and Christian planned one for the team. I knew they would prioritize creating an atmosphere that is healthy, fun, and collaborative and that is exactly what they did! Cherry on top was that the whole day was styled so beautifully but wasn’t so styled or too over the top that it would feel unattainable to other brides and grooms. I had so so much fun at their styled shoot and cannot wait or the next one!” Plus, Christian and I will be adding an educational aspect to it! We hope to see you there!
