Must-Have Shots for Your Wedding Day

If you’re gearing up for the big day, you’ve probably already got a thousand ideas swirling around. What’s most important is to just be yourselves and capture the moments and photos that are important to you! Have fun with it and be your authentic selves and trust your photographer. But let’s talk about those magical, must-have shots for your wedding day that will make your album shine brighter than your engagement ring!

Fun/Prompted Photos:

Let’s kick things off with the fun stuff! These are the shots that bring out your personality and those of your wedding party. Think goofy poses, quirky props, and laughter that lights up the frame. Whether it’s a bridal party jumping in the air or a candid shot of your grandma showing off her dance moves, these photos capture the joy and energy of the day. This can also include some fun prompts that you may hear me say throughout your wedding day: bring your nose to his/her temple, do a cute lift or dip, spin her around, run away from me holding hands, and more!

Ceremony Shots:

Ah, the heart of the event! Ceremony shots are all about freezing those tear-jerking exchanges—your vows, the rings slipping onto fingers, and that first kiss as newlyweds. Our job? To stealthily capture these precious moments without causing a fuss. Consider it done!

Epic Wide Shots:

Imagine your wedding venue from a bird’s eye view. Epic wide shots are all about showcasing the grandeur of your location, whether it’s a sprawling vineyard or a city skyline. It’s like saying, “Hey world, check out where our love story began!”

Close-Up Shots:

Details matter, especially on your wedding day! Close-up shots zoom in on the intricate lace of your gown, the delicate petals of your bouquet, or the shimmer of your wedding bands. They’re little snippets that tell a big story.

Romantic Shots:

Romance is my specialty! These shots capture the quiet moments—the stolen glances, the gentle touches, and the sunset kisses. I’ll find those dreamy backdrops and let your love take center stage.

Looking at the Camera:

Sometimes you have to look over at me and it will be one of the best moments! Looking at the camera shots are those classic portraits where you’ll look stunning and feel like it was so worth it. I’ll make sure you and your partner are stunning, and/or your squad looks suave and your family photos are frame-worthy.

Candid Photos:

Ah, the gems of spontaneity! Candid photos capture raw emotions and genuine smiles. Whether it’s catching your best friend’s tears during the toasts or your dad’s goofy dance moves, these photos tell the real story of your day.

Editorial Style Photos:

Last but not least, editorial style photos bring a touch of glamour to your album. These are the shots that could grace the pages of a bridal magazine—dramatic poses, stunning lighting, and a touch of cinematic flair. Your love story, ready for its close-up!
