What to keep in mind
A few things that matter beyond visual style
The right wedding image does more than look beautiful — it needs to feel true to your couple, work in the context where it will be seen, and honor the people who will see it.
Proof needs real capture
Ceremonies, legal proof, family documentation, and guest reactions should not depend on generated or template-only visuals.
Design needs editable space
Invitation and website images need clean crop, text room, and predictable file quality, not just an attractive portrait.
Culture needs review
For attire, skin tone, body shape, religious symbols, and family context, ask the people shown to review before sharing.
