​Wedding Picture Ideas

The memories of your wedding will remain with you forever, and capturing special pictures of your big day will make those happy memories even sweeter. Everyone in the wedding party, your families and friends will appreciate the special moments captured in your wedding photography for years to come. Good photos and video start by hiring the right professionals. Be sure to check out portfolios and references, and ensure that you are on the same page with your wedding picture ideas and style before you book your photographer.

Brides and grooms should discuss their wedding picture ideas ahead of time, and with so many online resources filled with outstanding wedding photos and checklists, you’ll have no trouble putting your thoughts together. You may even want to devote an entire Pinterest board to your wedding picture ideas – ones you like and even ones you don’t. Here are some tips on getting the best wedding photography possible for the biggest day of your life.
 

• Ask your wedding venue to see photos of past brides and grooms taken on their grounds. There may be a certain backdrop you’d like to include in your wedding photography, or a certain time of day where you like the particular lighting from the sun. Note too any dislikes and make sure to share both with your photographer.
   ​

• Chances are you’ll want some combination of traditional photos and some images that are more whimsical and candid. A dramatic shot of your gorgeous wedding shoes, a collage of your stationery from save-the-date to thank-you’s, a shot of you and your bridesmaids sharing a glass of morning bubbly, or that priceless first look from your groom will bring back sweet memories, for years to come.
   

• Be open to your photographer’s creative ideas for original wedding photography. Make sure to discuss your own ideas of any unique photos you want with your photographer, your venue, and anyone else involved in the shots. Share your Pinterest board of photo ideas too, if you’ve created one.
   

• Don’t be afraid to use props that mean something to you as a couple or that depict you and your personalities. Examples may be to include your beloved pet, or take a picture where you first met, or where your proposal took place. What’s most important to your special day is to have fun, relax and enjoy yourselves. You’ll have some amazing photos to look back on … for years to come!
