FIVE ESSENTIAL INSTAGRAM TOP TIPS

When you love your wedding photographs, we know that you will want to show them off on Instagram for your followers to see, and rightly so. But for those not so familiar with the world’s most popular photo sharing app, this can be a confusing and time-consuming process. So we have put together our five Instagram top tips to help you avoid the faux pas and put the fun back in to photo sharing!

1. No crop

Rule number one is to make sure you show those photographs as they were intended – uncropped and in all their full frame glory. Let’s see the full picture and use that format icon, because your Instagram images no longer have to be constrained by the 1:1 square aspect ratio.

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.

3. Tag up

You can of course tag friends in your wedding photographs on Instagram. But think about tagging your dream team of suppliers too. Remember they would love to see your photographs. Also adding your venue as a location can be a fun way to map your photographs over time.

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.
