Common Wedding Regrets
Every couple goes into their wedding day hoping for pure perfection. And while most walk away with hearts full of joy and gratitude, there are a few regrets that come up again and again when couples look back on their big day. The good news is that most of them are completely avoidable with a little planning ahead.
Here are three of the most common wedding regrets we hear about, and what you can do right now to make sure you do not find yourself in the same boat.
Common Wedding Regrets
Not Getting Photos with the Right People
Your photographer will naturally cover the standard family portraits and wedding party shots, but the people you will truly regret not having photos with are often the ones outside that list. Think about your great aunt flying in from out of state, your cousin’s brand new baby, or your grandfather who rarely travels anymore. These are the photos that become irreplaceable over time.
Before your wedding day, sit down and make a specific list of people outside the immediate family that you want a professional photo with. Share that list with your wedding photographer ahead of time so they can build it into the portrait timeline without it feeling rushed. A little advance planning makes all the difference. Browse our photography packages to find the right level of coverage for your day.
Not Hiring a Videographer
Did you know videographers are typically more affordable than your photographer? Photo stills of the day will always be a timeless piece of memorabilia, but with the day being such an epic blur to most brides and grooms, getting to actual rewatch the emotions as they unfolded in those special moments is quite astonishing and moving. Having a wedding video is something you’ll always cherish!
What surprises most couples is that wedding videography is typically more affordable than photography. It is one of the best value additions you can make to your wedding package, and it is something you and your family will come back to for decades.

Worrying About the Little Things Too Much
Centerpieces, playlists, seating arrangements, bridesmaid dresses, room decor, something blue. Seriously we could go on for a while here. When many brides and grooms look back, they stressed a little too much on some smaller details that just didn’t really matter in the scope of things. When you’re caught up in the moment on if your napkins should be white or cream, try to keep a rational mentality. Remind yourself, this day is about you and your partner and celebrating your love.
Unfortunately, you can’t control the weather or your tears as they start streaking down our flawless foundation in an emotional moment (if you can, we applaud you!). BUT you can try to avoid these three common regrets to help you recall your wedding in all it’s glory once all is said and done!
