Ana and Delbert's Wedding Highlight Film | Richard J Nieves Photography

Ana and Delbert's Wedding Highlights Film filmed by Richard J Nieves Photography - A Look at their Day!

Ana and Delbert's Wedding was one of the most special days of their lives. These two are so adorable together and it was a pleasure to be able to document their big day! When I first met Ana and her future husband, Delbert, you could feel the wedding day jitters, but also a calmness and joy that would take over and push those jitters to the side. As I got to know them, I could see the strong chemistry they shared. The attention to each other they shared so deeply. The details couldn’t have been more perfect. They were both huge Harry Potter fans and it showed in the best of ways. Everything about their day blended together perfectly because these two are just so amazing! Here’s a look back at some of my favorite wedding highlights!

2 Reasons Why You Won’t Regret Hiring Two Photographers For Your Wedding

1. They add to your story and build a narrative 1 photographer can’t create alone

2. They will allow your partner’s story to shine as much as yours

For me, you and your partner’s story is a page-turner with no end in sight. The chapter that is your wedding must be vivid and full of life.

My second photographer’s role isn’t just to aid me in obtaining your imagery, but to fill in your story with as much lush content as possible. They add the pages of your wedding story that I alone may miss for the sake of another moment. They add an adjoining narrative coinciding with my own that blends into a magical gallery that will make you feel.

Where my job is to build the foundation of your narrative, they add the fortification. They’re able to get photos of your parents emotional as they watch their baby walk down the aisle while I photograph you walking to your future spouse, or you emotionally talking with your maid of honor about that moment prior while I am capturing the details most important to you.

I find there’s always one half of my couples who want their partner to have the spotlight in photography. They give up their coverage to make sure their partner shines in our imagery.

With a second photographer, we can have it all. My couples can have one of the most important days of their lives covered without issue.

As I am photographing you and your party, my second can go to your partner and theirs to capture similar moments of emotion and joy.

When I’m photographing you walking down the aisle, my second will get your partner’s reaction as they watch the love of their life head towards them in their stunning wedding outfit for the first time.

How To Pick The Right Wedding Shoes To Pair With Your Wedding Dress

Nail Your Style

As your considering your options, consider the overall aesthetic you’re going for with your wedding. Think about the materials of the shoe that will tie with your dress.

Pick The Dress First

Speaking of the dress, make sure that is the first thing you have before buying a pair of shoes to match. It’ll help pave the way towards the type of shoe you get.

Start The Search

Start your online search for the perfect shoes in places like Bloomingdale’s, Macy’s, and Nordstrom. Their online selection is massive compared to their in store options.

Try Them On

Before you put in your credit card information, make sure you can actually go in store to try on selections before committing. You don’t want to purchase a pair of shoes that look absolutely divine, only to realize the size you need in that particular shoe is a bit on the small side.

Color!

You don’t have to go with the classic, elegenat white shoes for your wedding day. A pop of color really add some flair to your outfit. Feeling bold? Add metalics or a little glitter to the mix.

Consider The Venue

Will your ceremony be on a flat, hard surface, or will it be on a lawn or another large green grass situation? Get the right shoe so you’re not tripping or stuck in the ground as you’re attempting to walk down the aisle.

Comfort Is Key

This is a big tip! Get comfortable shoes! Nothing is worse than standing for 5-6 hours in uncomfortable shoes, especially on your wedding day. A low-to-mid-height hel and even a chunkier heel will make your day so much better. Also consider any shoe that can be adjusted with something like buckles or laces.

Don’t Wait!

Don’t leave this decision to the last minute. After searching and trying on so many shoes, don’t decide to wait for them to go on sale for them to disappear before your wedding date. After testing and trials, once you find your shoe, snatch them up!

She's Everything I believe In

”I fell in love with her courage, her sincerity, and her flaming self respect. And it’s these things I’d believe in, even if the whole world indulged in wild suspicions that she wasn’t all she should be. I love her and it is the beginning of everything.” – F. Scott Fitzgerald
