Clothing choices make a bigger difference than most people expect. The guidance, thankfully, is simple.
Plain, solid colours photograph more reliably than busy patterns, which can distract from the parts of the image that actually matter. Bring a backup option if you’re unsure, since a quick change is easy on the day but impossible to fix afterwards. Think about how an outfit will sit against the background or setting you’ve chosen, since contrast matters more than the outfit alone.
Beyond clothing, comfort matters more than most people plan for. Anything that pinches, restricts movement or needs constant adjusting becomes visible in the final images, however subtle it feels in the mirror.

FAQs
Quick answers, no fluff.
How much coverage do we actually need?
Usually two to four hours is plenty for a small wedding, covering getting ready, the ceremony and a short portrait session afterwards.
Is this cheaper than full wedding coverage?
Generally yes, since the hours and deliverables are smaller. The same unposed, journalistic approach still applies, just scaled to the size of the day.
