Top Tips To Perfect Your Wedding ‘Gram

Modern Wedding Posted: November 15, 2019

If you don’t post about your wedding on Instagram, did it even happen? Social media has quickly become one of the best ways to share your wedding with the world, so you want to make sure your wedding photos are totally #insta-worthy. Here are our top tips to perfect your wedding ‘gram!

Add It To The List…

The first step to having the most Instagrammable wedding is knowing which pictures you want to take! Before the big day, make a list of your must-have photo moments to give to your photographer so that they know exactly what to capture. These must-have photo-ops include getting ready with your girl gang, the first kiss, the confetti-filled exit and plenty of candid moments. With your wedding photo-op list in hand, your photographer will be sure to capture all the moments that will make your Instagram page total wedding heaven!

Golden Hour…

When it comes to capturing the perfect romantic and dreamy vibe for your Instagram, it’s all about the lighting! Whether your wedding is taking place indoors or outdoors, ask your photographer to utilise the most natural light possible. When you’re planning your big day, keep in mind that late afternoon lighting is considered “golden hour” so it’s worth timing your wedding photos to take place during that time. With soft, romantic lighting, your wedding photos are sure to break the triple-digit likes on Instagram!

Brilliant Backdrop…

If you’re lucky enough to be tying the knot in a remarkable, atmospheric venue, take advantage of that in your wedding photos! Capturing your special moments with such a breathtaking backdrop will really elevate your wedding photos. Think a stunning sunset, a vibrant green forest or a rich, historic courtyard. The Instagram likes will be rolling in faster than you can say “cheese”!

Fancy Feast…

Instagram was the birthplace of the ‘hipster foodie shot’ so it’s only natural to share your wedding food on your page to secure all the likes! For a lot of people, including the bride and groom, the food is the highlight of the day. Make sure your photographer captures shots of the fancy feast. Your followers will be salivating just looking at their screens!

Photo Op…

If you want to ensure that your guests’ Instagram posts from the wedding are just as fabulous as yours, install a feature backdrop at your reception venue so that your guests can get snap-happy. Opt for a radiant balloon installation or a fragrant flower wall to give everyone in attendance the most Instagrammable photo opportunities.

Get It Trending…

If you, your partner or your guests are heavy social media users (and let’s be honest, who isn’t these days?) custom wedding hashtags are a great way to build excitement for your big day. Share all of your wedding photos with this hashtag to totally enhance your wedding ‘gram! This also means that all of the photos from your wedding, whether they’ve been posted by you or your guests, will all be in the same place.

Caption That Capture…

Every perfect wedding Instagram post needs the perfect caption! If you’ve been racking your brain for the best caption to reel in those Instagram likes, we’ve got you covered. Here are a few of our favourites:

  • “It’s a love story, baby just say yes.”
  • “Now you’re stuck with me forever and always.”
  • “He stole my heart so now I’m taking his last name.
  • “You’re the peanut butter to my jelly.”
  • “Happily ever after starts now.”
