Wedding Photography Tips and Ideas


Weddings are beautiful celebrations of love, each unique and memorable in its own way. Your photographer’s job is to capture these moments so you can cherish them forever.

Here are five creative wedding photography ideas that can add a special touch to your wedding album.

 

CANDID MOMENTS

Capture’s of unposed, genuine moments throughout the day are often the most favoured photos. These could be the bride’s reaction to seeing herself in the mirror, the groom’s nervous anticipation, or guests’ reactions during speeches.

Candid shots often turn out to be the most cherished because they capture the true essence and emotions of the day.

Tip: Try to forget about your photographer and just enjoy the moment.

 

FIRST LOOK PHOTOS

First look photos do mean breaking tradition of not seeing each other until the ceremony but you will be able to capture those the raw emotions on camera without anyone else around. It might not be for everyone but it’s definitely worth talking to your photographer about as you will need to plan for this moment., should you decide to do it.

You could also do a similar “first look” or “reveal” in front of your bridesmaids or parents.

Tip: Coordinate with the wedding planner to find the perfect spot for the first look, ensuring it offers good lighting and privacy.

 

DRONE PHOTOGRAPHY

Using a drone to capture breathtaking aerial shots is becoming more and more popular.

Capture the entire wedding venue, the couple surrounded by nature, or the guests forming shapes on the ground. Aerial shots add a wow factor to the wedding album and can beautifully showcase the scale and setting of the event.

Tip: Ensure you have the necessary permissions and check for any restrictions on drone usage at the venue.

 

REFELCTON SHOTS
By utilising mirrors, water, or any reflective surface your photographer will be able to create artistic and captivating photos.

Reflections can add depth and interest to photos, so if you are a by a lake make the most of it, and if not fake it with puddles and mirrors.

 

THE GOLDEN HOUR

The golden hour offers the perfect opportunity to capture intimate, ethereal photos that convey a sense of romance and timeless beauty.

Tip: Plan ahead and coordinate with the wedding schedule, wedding planner and photographer to ensure you have enough time for photos during this magical hour.

 

Every wedding is a story, and your photographer has the privilege of telling that story through the lens for you to treasure for years to come.

Choosing the right wedding photographer is one of the most important decisions you’ll make for your big day. The photographer will capture moments you'll cherish for a lifetime, therefore we recommend meeting several to see who aligns with your vision and style.

And don’t forget:

  • Referrals: Ask friends, family, or your wedding planner for recommendations.
  • Reviews: Read reviews and testimonials from previous clients.
