Wedding Photos You Need To Get On Your Big Day

Modern Wedding Posted: September 22, 2020

It’s no secret that your wedding photographer is one of the best investments you can make for your big day (find out why here). Your wedding photos are going to last a lifetime so you want to make sure that all of the best memories are forever on film. To ensure that every magical moment at your wedding is beautifully captured, we’ve compiled a list of the wedding photos you need to get on your big day!

Via Chris and Ruth

Cordially Invited…

Your wedding invitations are a core piece of wedding stationery—after all, they set the tone for the whole day. Those invitations are the first peek your guests have into what your wedding day is going to look like. So, it’s only natural that they have a place in your wedding photo album.

Accessories Please…

It’s easy to get caught up in all the excitement over the wedding dress however, no bridal look is complete without all of the little things. The jewellery, shoes, veil, and even the perfume you wear on your big day all work seamlessly together to transform you into a beautiful blushing bride.

Make Me Up…

Getting your hair and makeup done for your wedding is such a special part of the day. Looking back on those moments will remind you of the butterflies you felt that morning and the uncontrollable joy that infected everyone around you. Pure bliss!

Via Ava Me Studios

Before The Storm…

There’s something so serene about capturing a photo of your wedding dress ready to be worn. It comes with such a sense of anticipation—the calm before the storm of absolutely thrilling wedding mayhem.

Via Raechel and Luke’s Wedding

Girl Gang…

We love seeing the photos of bridesmaids all pitching in to help the bride get ready. It’s such a gorgeous way to capture the bond between the bride tribe and their willingness to drop everything for the bride. It’s like the ultimate symbol of girl power!

Via Nick and Laura’s Wedding

Bridal Portrait…

Now, of course, you need the all-important bridal portrait! This is your moment to shine in your gorgeous bridal get-up so that you can always remember feeling like a million bucks.

Via Vivian and Karl’s Wedding

Bridal Blooms…

No wedding day look is complete without a beautiful bridal bouquet! Bouquets often get swept up in the look as they tie in so seamlessly with the wedding theme. So, it’s important to give your wedding day florals a chance to be in the spotlight.

Via Amanda and Matt’s Wedding

Bride Tribe…

After you take some super fun snaps of getting ready with your wing women, it’s time to strike a pose while you’re all dressed to the nines! This is such a fun time to really relish in the company of your gal pals and celebrate your strong relationships.

First Look…

We all know that one of the most sentimental moments of the whole day is when the groom lays his eyes on the bride for the first time. The heartfelt reactions that grooms have when seeing their beautiful brides always make us want to weep with joy! So, make sure that your wedding photographer is set up to capture that first look.

Via Cavanagh Photography

You May Now Kiss The Bride…

Well, it goes without saying that you need to have a photo of the first kiss as husband and wife! It’s such a magical moment in every wedding that deserves to be forever remembered through photos.

Via Nicholas and Kaitlyn’s Wedding

Grand Exit…

Your exit from the ceremony as newlyweds is such a fun moment to photograph! It’s always filled with colour and smiles, and it’s one of our favourite photos to find in wedding albums because it just radiates pure joy.

A Couple Of Love Birds…

In the downtime between the ceremony and the reception, it’s nice to take some quiet time with your new life partner to enjoy one another’s company and get some gorgeous snaps as husband and wife. These photos are always so special because it’s the first time the newlyweds have a moment to relish in the fact that they’ve just tied the knot!

Via Emma and Daniel’s Wedding

Family Portrait…

Once you’ve enjoyed some time alone with your partner, it’s time to get the gang back together! Bring your wedding party into the frame to take some pics that you’ll all enjoy for years to come!

Via Anna and Patrick’s Wedding

Goofing Around…

Once you’ve taken the serious portraits, it’s time to have some fun! A good wedding photographer will be able to capture some picture-perfect candid moments of you just being yourself with your nearest and dearest.

Set The Tables…

In the lead up to the big day, you spend so much time analysing colour schemes and place settings. So make sure it’s a table setting to remember by getting plenty of snaps of your reception space.

Via Erica and Mike’s Wedding

Time For Cake…

The wedding cake is often one of the prettiest parts of the wedding reception décor—and it’s definitely the most delicious. If your wedding cake is too pretty to eat (and let’s be honest—they all are), make sure you get plenty of pictures of it before it’s gone!

Via Rebecca and Alexander’s Wedding

Dance With Me…

So many couples say that one of the most memorable moments from their wedding was their first dance as husband and wife. The first dance is always a gorgeous and sentimental moment that brings a tear to everyone’s eyes so it’s a really special time to capture in your wedding photos.

Via Blumenthal Photography

I’ll Have A Slice…

Once you’ve taken a photo of the cake itself, it’s time to eat it! We love how joyful newlyweds look when they’re cutting into their wedding cake together.

Via Kirsty and Adrian’s Wedding

Cheers…

There’s nothing quite like getting to toast a newlywed couple as they start the next chapter of their lives together. Make sure your photographer has their camera ready when everyone toasts to the bride and groom!

Big Finish…

If you’ve got a big finish planned for your wedding day, make sure people have their cameras at the ready! Whether it’s a fireworks display or dancing with sparklers, it’ll definitely be a moment to remember.
