Must Have Wedding Photos!

When your big day finally comes there is going to be a lot going on. Even though at times your wedding day can be stressful, having photos to remember all of the details from your wedding day is something you will cherish forever! If you are planning to hire a photographer, as most brides and grooms do, it's important to communicate with them the photos you would like for them to capture throughout the day. Making a list before your wedding day and giving it to your photographer is the best way to ensure you get the photos you are hoping for. Today, our bridal boutique in South Florida has a list of photo ideas to help you get your list started!


Getting Ready 

While the main focus is on the ceremony and the reception, don't forget to take photos of getting ready. Have your photographer take pictures of you and your girls getting ready, as well as the groom and his boys. Have your photographer capture these shots:

  • The Wedding Dress on a Hanger 
  • The Bride's Jewelry, Shoes & Other Accessories 
  • The Bride & Bridesmaids Putting Their Makeup On 
  • The Bride Being Helped Into Her Dress
  • Wedding Party's First Look of the Bride 
  • Mother & Father's First Look of the Bride 
  • Putting the Veil On 
  • Putting on the Garter 
  • Putting on the Shoes 
  • The Groom Tying His Tie
  • Pinning of the Boutonnieres
  • The Engagement Bands and Wedding Rings Together 

The Ceremony 

A professional wedding photographer is going to know how to get the best shots of a ceremony, but it's still not a bad idea to prepare a list of shots you don't want them to miss. Here are some ideas to include:
  • Room Shots of the Guests 
  • Parents & Grandparents Walking Down the Aisle 
  • Wedding Party Walking Down the Aisle 
  • Bride Walking Down the Aisle 
  • Everyone Watching the Bride Come Down the Aisle 
  • Groom's Face As He Sees Bride Coming Down the Aisle 
  • Father Giving Bride Away 
  • The Bride & Groom's Faces During the Vows 
  • Close-Up of the Exchange of the Rings 
  • The First Kiss as Husband and Wife 
  • The Look on Family Members' Faces During the Kiss 
  • The Recessional

Group Photos 

After the ceremony, the bride and groom will get some of the group pictures out of the way. You'll want to make sure to include all the important family members. Here are some photos not to forget:
  • Bride & Groom
  • Bride & Groom with Bride's Immediate Family 
  • Bride & Groom with Bride's Parents 
  • Bride & Groom with Groom's Immediate Family

  • Groom with Groomsmen 
  • Groom with Bridesmaids 
  • Bride with Bridesmaids
  • Bride & Groom with Full Wedding Party 

The Reception 

Likely the most fun pictures of the day will be taken at the reception. You've gotten most of the sentimental stuff out of the way, aside from the special dances, and now it's time to get a little goofy.
Here are some fun reception photo ideas to include on your list:
  • People Dancing

  • The First Bite of Cake (and maybe shoving in the face) 
  • Bride & Groom Sipping Champagne with Intertwined Arms
