There are plenty of things you can choose to forgo when it comes to your wedding, whether you want to have an intimate affair, or just a no-frills reception. However, one of the main details that brides don’t skimp on is their photographer. No matter how low-key a wedding you choose to have, your wedding photographs will remind you of your day forever and you want them to be special.
Think about what style of photography you want. Do you want natural action shots or do you want portraits, or a mixture of both? Do you want lots of photographs of your guests? Do you want detail photography? There are plenty of ways your details can be photographed creatively, and while some photographers will take the liberty of figuring out what you want, they’re generally not mind-readers, so the more idea you give them, the better.
There are some great ways to photograph your wedding details and most photographers will have their own ideas but it’s good to have an idea of what kind of photographs you want. Do you want a photograph of your rings? What about your stationery. Brides often forget about keeping an invitation by and having it on the day to give to the photographer to take a picture.
There are also some creative styles of bride and groom portraits. Remember, your wedding is all about you and not the little details (although they’re important too). These are the photos you’re going to treasure for years to come and you want them to be special, unique and personal.
Remember, if you have any specific details you want photographed on the day, don’t forget to bring them, or give them to someone to bring along. Make sure you give your photographs some thought before the wedding day. You’ll have too much on your mind to think about what you want photographed. It’s better to have a list.
