Portsea wedding photographer | A Guide to de-stress your wedding day
Wedding days can spiral out of control very quickly., that is why the preparation is essential. Whenever I am facing a big event in my life, I tend to tend to plan and get as much as I can beforehand, to the point where I can tell myself “ I have done everything I could humanly possibly do, and now I have to let go”. The let go part of that sentence was one of the most important parts on the day of my own wedding day, I had done the planning and I tried to tick as many boxes as I could beforehand, and on the day I only wanted one thing: to have the fun of my life. I really hope that this guide to prepare yourself the day before will help you to be calm and have a smooth wedding day!
