Wedding Photography: What to Share on Your Website

Your wedding website is the perfect place to showcase your love story through photos. Here's how to curate the perfect gallery.

Engagement Photos

If you've done an engagement shoot, select 5-10 of your best photos for the website. Look for:

• A mix of close-ups and full-body shots
• Natural expressions over posed ones
• Good lighting — golden hour photos always shine
• Variety in backgrounds — different locations keep things interesting

Couple's Story Photos

Tell your story visually. Include photos from:

• Your first trip together
• The proposal (if you have them)
• Favorite date spots
• Milestones you've shared

Photo Gallery Best Practices

Quality Over Quantity

Don't upload every photo from your shoot. Curate a tight collection that tells a story.

Consistent Editing

If your photos have different editing styles, it can look jarring. Stick to photos from the same session or with similar color grading.

Optimize for Web

Large image files slow down your website. Compress photos for web without sacrificing quality. Most wedding platforms handle this automatically.

Alt Text

Add descriptive alt text to your photos for accessibility. This helps guests who use screen readers enjoy your gallery too.

After the Wedding

Update your gallery with wedding day photos! Guest photo features let attendees upload their own pictures, creating a crowd-sourced album of your celebration.

Privacy Considerations

Consider whether your gallery should be:

• Public — anyone can view
• Password-protected — only guests with the code can access
• Guest-only — requires RSVP confirmation

Your photos capture the emotion of your love story. Display them beautifully and let your guests share in the joy.
