Two Words We Never Want to Hear on Your Wedding Day

Don’t cry.

As wedding photographers we’re privileged to have VIP access to you and your loved ones on your wedding day! In fact, we often spend almost the entire day with you and love every moment. BUT there are two words we never want to hear on your wedding day…

Don’t cry.

We get it—wedding days come with a boat load of emotions. We also understand that couples and their families may not feel all that comfortable showing those emotions when they feel like the paparazzi is standing in the corner of the room.

But hiding those emotions keeps you and others from being fully present.

On your wedding day, we want you to feel all the things…let all the tears fall…have sore cheeks from the smile that keeps coming back. We want you to truly live into those feelings and savor every moment.

Feeling deeply often sparks our memory later.

Instead of hiding your face or worrying about ruining your makeup, we desperately want you to share tears, give hugs, and know that those moments and the memories you have of them—both in your mind and from your photographs—are cherished, real, beautiful pieces to the story of your wedding day.

So cry, laugh, take a deep breath, and be authentically you with the people you love on your best day.

I'm a Co-founder and Lead Photographer at Studio Ostendo.

Wedding photography is my heartbeat. For me, it holds the perfect tension between creativity and authenticity, observation and connection. In front of my camera clients transform to friends, and behind it you'll usually find me tearing up, cheering you on, or holding my breath because of the raw goodness of the moment at hand.
