How to Not Ruin Your Wedding Photos (and Other Life Lessons from a Pro)

Alright, let’s get real. You want wedding photos that make your future grandkids gasp, not ones that look like they were taken by a cryptid lurking in the bushes. You want magic, romance, cinema—not a collection of awkward prom poses and squinty-eyed smiles under the Florida sun.

I’m 8nfinity Photography, your friendly neighborhood wedding photographer serving Pensacola, Destin, and the whole Gulf Coast. I make people look good in photos for a living. Let’s talk about how to keep it that way.

1. Pinterest Will Betray You

Pinterest is like an ex who convinces you they’ve changed, only to disappoint you yet again. It’s full of impossibly perfect wedding photos that conveniently leave out the part where the couple had a full production crew and a wind machine that costs more than your car.

Your wedding will be real, and that’s the good stuff. It won’t be a perfectly color-coordinated fever dream, and guess what? That’s why it’ll be better. Real laughter. Real tears. Real oh-my-god-did-you-just-drop-the-cake moments. That’s what we’re here for.

2. Florida’s Lighting is Like a Toddler on a Sugar High

The Gulf Coast is beautiful, yes. The sunsets? Absolutely dream-worthy. The midday sun? A blazing inferno of doom.

If you don’t want to look like you just emerged from the ninth circle of humidity hell, we’ll need to plan wisely. Golden hour? Yes. Harsh noon sun? Only if you enjoy looking like a sweaty, overexposed vampire. Don’t worry—I’ve shot enough weddings in Florida to know exactly where to position you so you look glowy, not melty.

3. Uncle Bob’s Photography Hobby is Not a Backup Plan

Ah yes, Uncle Bob. Every wedding has one. He bought a fancy camera last Christmas and now fancies himself a visual storyteller.

Here’s the deal: I love a good hobby, but weddings are not a practice round. Let Uncle Bob enjoy his beer and his blurry, overexposed photos. I’ll be the one making sure you look like a total legend in your wedding album.

4. Forget the Poses—Feel the Moment

Do you know what looks awkward? People trying not to look awkward. Stiff, forced smiles. Hands placed in weird, unnatural positions. If it feels like an SAT exam photo, we’re doing it wrong.

The best photos happen when you forget I’m even there. Ugly cry during your vows. Dance like an absolute lunatic. Let your dad make that speech no one was prepared for. I’ll be lurking in the best way possible, capturing it all.

5. Want Wedding Photos That Don’t Suck? Call Me.

Pensacola, Destin, Gulf Coast—I’ve been there, I’ve shot that, and I know exactly how to make your wedding photos something you’ll obsess over for decades. I’ve mastered the fine art of dodging drunk guests, navigating Florida’s mood swings, and making sure you look absolutely unreal in every single frame.

I don’t just take pictures—I bottle up your wedding day into something that feels like you. And I do it with a camera, a good sense of humor, and probably way too much coffee.

PS: If you made it this far, you’re either deeply invested in photography or avoiding writing thank-you notes. Either way, we should probably talk.
