Tips For An Epic Avalon Palm Springs Wedding
If you're looking to have an epic Avalon Palm Springs wedding, here are just a few tips from a Los Angeles Wedding Photographer.
Set Aside Some Alone Time With Your Partner
One way to ensure you have an epic Avalon Palm Springs wedding is to set aside some alone time with your partner. Your wedding day can be crazy as it is, running around everywhere. It can lead to you feeling alone at times, however, remember that you're not alone. Your partner is right there with you probably experiencing the same feelings you are. That is why I always suggest setting aside 15-20 minutes with your partner after your ceremony to decompress. Soak in the moment and enjoy this time with each other. Even though it seems like a short amount of time, it will make all the difference.
Invest In A Wedding Videographer
I will always say that investing in your wedding photography should be a top priority. However, I also believe that investing in a wedding videographer can make all the difference for your wedding experience as well. While wedding photographers capture still images of the day, your wedding videographer helps tell your story. They tell moments that your wedding photographer can't! The small whispers your dad said just before he walked you down the aisle, the audible gasps as your bridesmaids witness you in your wedding dress for the first time. These moments matter and deserve to be documented just as much as your wedding photos.
Go Out With A Banging Grand Exit
One way to really make a memorable wedding day is to head out with a banging grand exit. A grand exit is essentially your send off to your wedding guests. Typically couples like to use this as an opportunity to leave with a bang and keep your guests talking. Great props for your grand exit could be biodegradable confetti, flower petals, streamers, lanterns, glow sticks, bubbles etc. Go hard or go home and have an amazing grand exit on the most special night of your life!
