7 wedding shots you want on your photography list
HEY, MY GORGEOUS PEOPLE! 🥰
The wedding photographer you choose is going to capture many moments and whilst photographers will of course identify and ensure the classic moments are captured such as cutting the cake, the speeches and your entrance, there are some crucial photographs that can go unnoticed.
These pictures can often capture the real sentiment of your wedding day, showcasing the distinct features that make your celebration, marriage and family special and having them in your wedding album will ensure that every memory is captured for you to look back on your special day.
So which photos are essential and shouldn’t be overlooked, and how can you ensure that you get them? Read on for my guide! 🌻
Your venue
Your wedding venue plays a big role in your special day, so don't forget to capture its beauty. Ask your photographer to take some pictures of the venue before the guests arrive, including the reception room, the fireplace, the gardens, or anything that makes it unique.
Anything personal 🥰
Incorporating personal touches into your wedding day makes it all the more special. Let your photographer know about any meaningful items, traditions, or details you've included so they can capture them in your photos.
Groom Getting Ready
Let's give some love to the grooms too! 💕 We all know how the bride gets all the attention during the wedding prep, but let's not forget about the guys! 🤵♂️ It's just as special to see the groom getting ready for the big day.
Sure, it might not take as long for the groom and his squad to get ready, but that doesn't mean it's any less important. Putting on that sharp suit, getting the tie just right, and don't forget the buttonhole - it's all part of the magic! So let's capture those moments and give the groom some well-deserved spotlight. 💫
Oh, the reaction! 😍
All the build up to the big moment - the walk down the aisle! As soon as the soon-to-be spouse catches sight of their soulmate waiting at the end, there's an electric buzz in the air. 🤩 It's one of those special moments that you'll treasure forever, and the perfect photo can help you relive it over and over again. 📷
Sure, it can be a bit tricky to get the timing right for that perfect shot, but a pro photographer can work their magic to capture all the feels. Or if you're after a more private moment, a first look is a fab option too! Just imagine that 'wow!' moment as you and your partner lock eyes for the first time... so dreamy! 💕
Your grandparents
Your grandparents will be over the moon to see you getting married, so be sure to get some pictures with them! Let your photographer know where they'll be sitting so they can get some candid shots.
Faraway friends and family
If you have loved ones who have traveled a long way to be with you on your big day, be sure to get some pictures with them. It's a great way to show your appreciation for their support and make some memories with them.
The kids
Last but not least, don't forget about the kids! Whether they're in the wedding party or just attending, capturing their unique personalities is a must. Get some candid shots of them on the dance floor or having fun with the activities or gifts provided for them.
Remember to communicate with your photographer and let them know what's important to you. With their experience and your vision, you'll have a wedding album full of precious memories that you'll treasure forever. Happy planning! ✨💛🌻
Sending LOVE,
