The reception is where the celebration takes off—and where some of the most authentic, joy-filled images of the day happen. We’re talking belly laughs, dance floor spins, hugs that last too long, and cheers that echo across the room.

If you want the kind of reception photos that feel alive and totally you, here are a few easy tips to help make that happen:

1. Stay Together
It sounds simple, but it’s powerful. The more time you and your spouse spend side by side, the more your photos will reflect your connection. We’ll catch those subtle glances, forehead kisses, and spontaneous laughs that speak volumes about your love.

2. Own the Dance Floor
When the music starts, get out there! Position yourself on the floor near your family or the friends who are giving toasts so you have a front-row seat to the emotion—and your view (and ours!) won’t be blocked by guests or centerpieces.

3. Have Some Fun
You’ve spent months planning. Now your only job is to enjoy it. Be present. Say yes to that dance. Sneak a bite of cake before the cake cutting. The more you let go, the more meaningful and joy-filled your candid photos will be.

Let go of the timeline, stay close to your person, and trust us to capture the magic.

Want reception photos that feel real and unforgettable? We’d love to be there.
