2. No filter

After your wedding photographs have received their heartfelt processing treatment, it’s really not cool to start applying your own unnecessary filters. It would not be a true reflection of your photographer’s signature style if you change it. Surely that was one of the major things that attracted you to their work in the first place. There’s a time and a place for Instagram effects – your wedding photographs already look awesome.

4. Hashtag etiquette

In the right hands hashtags can be a powerful tool to help improve the reach and organise your photographs. If you have your own unique wedding day hashtag, you and your guests can share photos to create an easily accessible collection on Instagram. Make sure your hashtag is easy for guests to remember. Keep it simple, avoid any special characters and search it first to make sure your hashtag is unique.

5. Size matters

When you want your wedding photographs to look their absolute best, image size does matter folks. As Instagram top tips go, this is a must. The recommended minimum image width for Instagram is currently 1080 pixels. As long as your image size is more than that, relax it’s all good.
