Photos your Photographer May Miss Unless you Ask 

Wedding photos are one of the most important parts of the wedding day. It’s not like you get to have a professional photographer at your call every day, so why not make the best out of their skills and prowess and ask them to take some of the most memorable shots-- the shots that they would normally not know to take. As your wedding day will go by in a flash, these are the memories you’ll cherish forever.

Getting Ready

Many photographers do take breathtaking photos during the wedding ceremony, but what about the pre-ceremonial shots? Ask them to capture the moments when you are getting ready for your big day. Invite them to your bridal suite early on the day to take photos of special occasion. These photos are effortlessly casual and make for the most fun photos. Get some fun snapshots of the day in cute pajamas or robes with your bridesmaids.

Details & Accessories

You and your fiancé have put a lot of effort into planning your big day; while the details and accessories seem really important to you when you’re planning, you’ll hardly notice the intricate details on the big day. So make sure you properly instruct your photographer to capture these details and accessories, because after all, you have spent a lot of time planning them out.

The Candid Moments

Be yourself while your photographer take photos and you’ll find those are some the most amazing shots of you. Ask your photographer to capture candid moments between you and your fiancé while you both do random things on your big day. Sure the specific pose photos are great, but the genuine wedding moments are the ones you will cherish later on as they will feel more like “you”!

Generational Photos

If you’re lucky enough to have your parents and grandparents attending your wedding, be sure to take a generational photo. Ask your photographer to find a perfect moment to capture the happiness and pride on their faces when they see their little babies going on the path of love and affection.

The Little Ones

Children often bring joy and happiness to the wedding. The portraits with the flower girl and ring bearers are timeless. Every bride needs a photo with her adorable flower girl. Ask your photographer to take photos of little ones early on, as children tend to get messier and messier as the night goes on. The kids will appreciate these photos too, as these are excellent resources for when they are grown up and want to reminisce.

The Individual Photos

Amongst the hustle and bustle of the wedding, photographers often forget or don't get the chance to take the individual photos of the couple’s close relatives with them. It is important to ask your photographer to take the individual photos of your brothers and sisters or your dads and moms alongside you so that you may cherish them later on. Also, group photos with your bridesmaids and groomsmen are great, but don’t forget to take individual photographs with them as well. Not only will they appreciate this extra bit of attention, but you can also gift them these photos as a souvenir later on.
