Planning your wedding might feel daunting, after all, it's like the first time you have ever planned one! So how do you know that you are doing it right?

First step: Calm down, and breath.

Unless you have a very short planning period, it's likely that you will have enough time to think through and reconsider certain aspects of your day, like your timeline, and how much time you spend doing what.

To help you out, I asked four other elopement photographers what they wished that couples’ spent more time doing during their elopement day, and this is what they said. Read to the end to hear my own opinion as well!

Something I wish that couples’ considered spending more time doing during their elopement?

Relaxing!

It might sound a little counterintuitive - your day should be fun and exciting! But all too often I see couples just tired at the end of the day. When you plan your day, make sure you plan some you time in there just to relax, enjoy a coffee or your favorite drink together, sit in a hot tub, have a nap… While the day should be fun and exciting, you don’t want to burn out, and those quiet times are special too!

Did these tips help?

If you are a photographer and want to chime in what you think couple’s should spend more time doing on their wedding day, we would love to hear!
