As an engaged couple, you’ve probably put in a lot of time and effort into planning out every detail of your upcoming wedding day. But, wedding planning can be stressful and sometimes, you might forget to plan enough time for everything. We want to make sure your covered, so we’ve curated our top 3 wedding day essentials you need to make enough time for on your wedding day! Read on to learn more about them!
1. Getting ready
When you are getting ready, you definitely do not want to feel rushed. This is a great time to relax and enjoy getting pampered for your big day. If you don’t plan enough time for this, you could become stressed out, and you might even become overwhelmed as your wedding day goes on. This will help you stay calm so you can enjoy the rest of your wedding day festivities.
Plus, this is a great way for you to spend quality time with your wedding party before you get married. These memories are important and most likely, your videographer and photographer will be able to capture them so you can remember them forever.

2. First Looks
First looks are also essential to your wedding day so make sure to schedule enough time for them. As wedding cinematographers, we love a good first look because that moment you share as a couple is very special for your wedding film. Plus, we love witnessing the love and joy between you both!
First looks also tend to help ease those pre-wedding jitters. They give you some time with your future spouse before the wedding starts, and your day will go much smoother once you both have relaxed. Your videographer and photographer will usually capture first looks as well so you can remember this intimate wedding moment.

3. Writing Letters
Many of the couples we’ve worked with have truly enjoyed partaking in writing letters to one another prior to their wedding ceremony. If you and your partner are not sharing personal vows in your ceremony or if you’re looking to share something special in addition to your personal vows, then this could be the perfect thing to add to your wedding day festivities.
We always recommend taking time prior to your wedding day to think about your letter so you can really enjoy the moment on your wedding day. That way, you can feel good about sending your letter, and you can enjoy the letter you’re going to receive from your future spouse.
