Wedding Planning Tips

Your ceremony is over, the toasts have been made, and the dance floor is warming up. Outside, the sky is doing something miraculous — bleeding amber and rose and deep violet above the horizon. Most couples don’t even notice. They’re inside, and those 20 minutes are gone forever.

As wedding photographers at Love & Story, this is the one thing we will always advocate for: carving out time — even just 5 to 10 minutes — to step outside together as the sun goes down. Here’s why it matters more than almost anything else on your timeline.

Planning your wedding in Atlanta? You’ve picked the venue, found the dress, and now you’re thinking about how the actual day will unfold—especially when it comes to your wedding photography. As photographers who specializes in weddings across Atlanta, we know how important it is to build a timeline that allows enough time for stunning, stress-free photos.

Let’s be real—weddings have changed. More and more couples are choosing to ditch the 200-person guest list and the pressure of a big production for something more meaningful, more personal… more them. At Love & Story Photo, we’ve been lucky to witness firsthand how magical and emotional elopements can be—and we’re here for every tear, every vow, and every starry night photo.

Most of our couples start their session telling us, “We’re so awkward in photos,” but by the end, they’re laughing, moving naturally, and wondering why they ever felt nervous in the first place. Our job isn’t just to take pretty pictures—it’s to guide you, hype you up, and help you feel like your most natural, confident self.
