Bride and Groom First Dance at Edgewood Country Club Wedding

If you read any wedding guide’s “list of questions to ask your wedding photographer,” one of them will be (and should be!) “may I see a full wedding gallery?” Blog previews and wedding galleries only show the best of the best – what do photos from an entire wedding day look like?

This is so important! I want every couple to know what to expect from all parts of the day, and have an assortment of full galleries linked below.

There are some key factors to keep in mind when looking through these full wedding photo galleries. Time of year is critical! If you’re getting married at 4pm in November at St. Paul’s Cathedral, looking at a May Phipps garden wedding probably won’t be too helpful.

Galleries are listed in order by month.
