Wedding photos narrate and depict the beautiful day you had with your partner, family, and friends. They warm your heart several years down the road when you revisit your wedding album and share it with relatives and grandchildren.
Preserving your wedding memories through cinematic photography is, thus, vital in keeping this special day alive for years to come. Unfortunately, many people take random photos on wedding days, forgetting the important items that make up the day.
You don’t want to look at your wedding photos in the future and think, “I can’t see a picture of my wedding cake” or “What did the reception look like?” Here is a list of must-have wedding photos you shouldn’t miss capturing on your special day.
1. Your gown
Wedding gowns steal the limelight of every wedding as they are rare piece that can’t be worn every other day. Taking photos staring at your dress or wearing it is essential in capturing this moment where you feel most beautiful and lucky.
Remember, wedding clothing is what makes your day glamorous. You can also take photos with your bridesmaids and groomsmen to showcase all your brilliant outfits on your special day.
2. Ring
A wedding is not complete without a ring as it symbolizes the union of you and your partner. While you may wear your ring for the rest of your married life, having professional photos of your rings brings back good memories of the special day.
A photographer can develop a delightful and charming set up for your rings before taking a close-up shot of them. For instance, having them lay on a soft pillow with flowers around them.
3. First kiss
If you want to have exciting stories to tell your kids and grandkids about your wedding album, a first kiss photo is where to start. The moment you kiss your partner after saying your vows should be captured beautifully to remind you of your commitment.
You can also take pictures saying your vows and exchanging your rings.
4. Family and friend moments
Unless you get married at the attorney’s office, capturing friends and family moments at your wedding gives your album a personal and emotional touch. The joy and happiness that your guests exude make this day more special for you, as they shower you with abundant love.
Take photos of your family members and friends, hugging and chatting as they enjoy your delicious cocktails and food.
