10 Must-Have Shots for Your Wedding Photography

Must-Have Shots for Your Wedding Day Photography

For any couple, these are the most must-have moments for your wedding photographer to capture. No wedding gallery is complete without them.

They only take five minutes and you’ll look a million dollars on your wedding day, so why not immortalise it?

You’ll thank me when you’re reminiscing on your anniversary in twenty years’ time!

So much of wedding planning is deciding on those finer details, the little things that mean so much.

From the shoes to the rings, the invites to the flowers – they all took you time and effort to choose and organise so need to be documented beautifully.

They’re your bride squad for a reason, so make time for a fun morning photoshoot with your besties before your big day!

Even if your girls have already seen your wedding dress, the first time they see it all put together never fails to product a tear or two.

Their reaction is often nothing compared to the father of the bride’s first look at his daughter in a wedding dress… Have the tissues at the ready!

This is a no-brainer. The first kiss is a must-have shot, but top tip… Ask your wedding photographer to shoot this from the front to get the reactions from your friends and family in this perfect moment!

You did it! You’ve gotten hitched to the love of your life, so milk it. Wave those flowers in the air or go for a dip, main character energy!

Less is not more when it comes to confetti. More petals, more colours, more fun. What a memorable moment to capture!

With a little organising and cooperation from your nearest and dearest, you can get almost every combination of you and your family you can think of. You might think this is excessive but that photo of you and your grandma, or you and your siblings, is often so special.

Not to mention, add in a couple of frames from Home Bargains, you’re sorted for presents for the next few years!

There’s a good chance you won’t get to see your meticulously-planned wedding decorations in their full glory before all your guests arrive, so add wedding setup to your shot list.

From the ceremony room to the wedding breakfast room, make sure you see how beautiful it all turned out.

Get your bridesmaids and groomsmen involved and have a laugh! As little as five minutes squeezed in after your wedding breakfast will give you unforgettable moments to look back on and most likely giggle.

Having your photos taken might not be your favourite thing, but photos of the two of you together will be the ones you cherish the most.

They take no time at all compared to the memories they create.

Candid, candid, candid. So important it needs saying three times!

Your wedding photographer is an extra pair of eyes capturing all those fun moments you didn’t get to see on the day.

The dancefloor antics you want to remember are often the most likely you’ll be in a state to forget…

So get yourself a wedding photographer who will hang around to capture not just your first dance as a couple, but also your guests getting messy and cutting shapes afterwards!
