Check out our list so that your photographer doesn’t miss anything to capture, let’s get started!
1. The accessories
We already know how hard it is to choose every detail and accessory for the wedding, that’s why it is essential to have a memory of them so that they will last even more in time and will not be forgotten among so many memories that happen on the wedding day. Rings, shoes, cufflinks… don’t forget anything!
2. The bride’s bouquet
We love flowers! Make sure you capture the beautiful bouquet in all its splendor! It’s also a great piece to use as decoration in the photos of the rings, accessories…!
3. The invitations
Of course! Show off all your wedding materials and decorate the scene with flowers, leaves, etc. We’re sure you’ll never want to forget the invitations you’ve taken so much care of.
4. The bride’s dress
The central element of a wedding is the bride’s dress. It is what creates the most expectation on a wedding day. It is that unique, special dress that means much more than just the word dress and deserves a good photo to keep the memory for years.
5. The bride’s preparations
The moments of the preparations are very beautiful and full of emotion, think that just in a few hours you are going to celebrate love for life, so emotions are at their peak and there are a lot of situations full of happiness, nerves, etc. The lens will capture it all!
6. The groom’s preparations
The groom’s preparations with his friends and family around him, the mother or sister putting on the wedding pin, the cufflinks, the shoes… If we want to tell a story with our photos, it has to be full of details from the very beginning.
7. Pre-confessions
Those moments of intimacy between sisters, mothers and friends should be captured. The last hidden nerves, the hugs from the godparents, etc. These moments before you get married are full of emotion and we want the photographer to take them in their pure essence, because they are wedding photos that you can include in your album making it even more special.
8. The couple with their grandparents
One of the must-have photos in any wedding photo reportage is a picture of the bride and groom with their elderly loved ones. The kiss with a grandparent, the hug with a grandmother, the emotional look of the bride and groom towards that special person. By law of life, the elders will be the first to leave us and having a photo with them of the most important day will please you very much. And it will be a nice way to remember them.
9. The groom’s face at the altar
The first time the groom looks at you is something you can’t forget, and we want a shot of it! Because men tend to get very excited when they see the bride appear and walk down the aisle, and we never want to forget his first reaction!
10. The appearance of the bride
Take photos inside and outside the car, photos of the bride inside the car touching up the last strands of her hair, photos of the faces of the guests when they see her for the first time at the ceremony… All those emotions deserve to be captured and are great ideas for wedding photos!
11. Bridesmaids and groomsmen
Your bridesmaids have always been by your side and will be by your side no matter what, so one photo idea for that wedding album is to get the best photos of your wedding with them on this special day. Mix up your witnesses and have fun photos of your bridesmaids and groomsmen and other important people!
12. Children, page boys and flower girls
If you have children, nieces, nephews or godchildren who will be at this important day for you, they should also be in the photos, especially if they are the ring bearers! They will also be very excited to see themselves as children in the future.
13. The rings
Whether as a still life, on a tray or already on your hands. The rings should be in a photo, as they are a beautiful keepsake that deserves a place in your wedding album.
14. A shot of the ceremony
Whether it is a civil or religious ceremony, a shot of the ceremony to admire the beauty of that place should not be missing, as it complements the wedding report very well. Here you can also take advantage of the opportunity to take different pictures of the small details of the decoration of the venue.
15. The first kiss of the newlyweds
A true classic. The first kiss as a married couple always causes a sensation. It’s so beautiful and romantic that it’s great to see the different reactions of the couples with their first kiss as husband and wife.
16. The signing with the witnesses
A photo that is also worth remembering is the signing of the documents. You will have chosen your trusted witnesses beforehand, so how could you not have a photo to remember with them at such a special moment?
17. The exit of the bride and groom
We love it! Seeing that crowd of people with their hands full of rice waiting for the bride and groom to come out is something unique. Photographically these shots are very striking because of all the elements that can be seen, rice, guests’ emotions, the bride and groom trying to cover themselves. It is a very special moment.
18. The cocktail
Yes, you’ll want to remember every delicious detail of your day, from the sumptuous cocktails to the sweet treats. And if you have beer corners, cheese, food trucks, trolleys… You”ll get some great photos!
19. The entrance to the reception
Nowadays, the way to enter the banquet and welcome the guests is very fun and original. This moment is significant, both for the bride and groom and for the guests who are very attentive to their arrival. The photos can be holding hands, dancing, waving to a guest, with a smile from ear to ear…
20. Banquet decoration
If you don’t want to lose sight of the decoration you have chosen for the banquet, like tablecloths, tables and all those details that surprised your guests, the images of the banquet and the venue are also one of the essential photos of the big day.
21. The toast during the banquet
A toast with glasses raised, saying a few words… Pictures of a moment spent at the table, during lunch or dinner, are also worth including in your wedding photos.
22. The presentation of gifts and surprises
One of the moments that you also enjoy. After all, they are the important people that you have decided to have at your big day and those details, smiles and surprises should be well captured.
23. The launching or handing over of the bouquet
This is a very emotional moment, and we have never yet seen a bouquet presentation where the emotion and feelings are not flooding out! Laughter, crying, tears, even pushing and shoving. How could this image not be captured for eternity?
24. To all the guests
The groom’s friends, the bride’s friends, brothers, uncles, aunts, cousins, grandparents, nieces and nephews… Don’t worry if you don’t have time to take a photo with each one of them, because you will be happy to see when you look back on the day, that they had a great time.
25. The long-awaited tradition of cutting the cake
There are traditions that never fail. Both the speech of the godparents and the cake cut and both of them have to be among your wedding photos. This will give a more classic touch to all those photos that will complete your album, it is a great memory to look at your photo with the sword!
26. The first dance as a married couple
You are back in the spotlight when you start your first dance. One of the essential moments that the camera must capture without a doubt is also this one.
27. Neon party
The photos of the bride enjoying the party with her friends, or of the groom talking with his best friend, are very significant. The neon lights, the DJ and the windblown hair will also have their place in your wedding album!
