5 Must-Have Wedding Photos

Wedding photography is a true art – and every photographer will “practice” it a different way. Regardless of what kind of wedding you will have, keep in mind that here are certain types of photos you should definitely shoot. What are the most important ones? Read on and find out more about the top 5 must-have wedding photos:

·  
The one with you and you only. While these days both the bride and the groom get their fair share of attention when it comes to the Big Day, the bride will always be surrounded by an aura of beauty and grace. Therefore, your photographer will definitely suggest shooting at least one photo of you and your stunning wedding gown.

· The one with your bridesmaids. These ladies have been there for you on the most important day of your life. They do deserve to get into a “special shooting”. Plus, if you have chosen a particular color theme for their dresses and if your photographer is creative enough, this photo will look absolutely great in your wedding album. If you want to, this photo can be shot while you are getting ready – and this will allow you to include your mother and grandmother in the picture as well.

· The one with him and his groomsmen. “Boys will be boys” – and they do deserve a special photo in the wedding album as well. Talk to your future spouse about how he would like this photo to be: serious, funny or creative?

· The one with you and your spouse kissing. Depending on your photographer, this picture can be set on the outdoors, during the ceremony or even at sunset. Talk to your photography specialist before the wedding and see which option suits you best.

· The one with the wedding ring and with the wedding vows. Ask your photographer to immortalize the beauty of the moment you finally say “I Do” in a photo. This photo can be up-close or it can be shot from afar (especially if the landscape surrounding you is beautiful as well!)

When Should You Take Wedding Photos

As you plan your wedding day, you’ll come up with times for the ceremony and reception, but there are many other elements that also need to be scheduled. Along with deliveries to your venue, meal times, and when to have your first dance, you’ll also need to figure out when you’ll have your wedding photos taken.

Many photographers will work with you to create a schedule for photography. This can include your preparation photos and other photos before the wedding. However, the posed photos of you and your wedding party are generally taken during the wedding. As your guests are already there, this can cause a disruption if it isn’t planned right.

The most popular time to take wedding party photos is during the cocktail hour. Your guests are kept entertained and you aren’t missing because you haven’t yet arrived at the reception. This is also an ideal time because you will be looking your best. There’s no risk of a stain from a dropped bite of dinner hitting the front of your dress if you get the photos done before the meal!

When you plan your wedding day schedule, you’ll want to think about where you have your photographs taken, too. A beautiful Philadelphia wedding venue will offer you many locations to choose from, all of which will be perfect backdrops for beautiful photos. A venue that offers both ceremony and reception locations, such as the Flourtown Country Club, is an excellent choice because you can spend less time travelling for your photos and more time celebrating with your guests.
