Check List For Wedding Photography

 

Getting Ready For the Wedding…

These shots should include people who are with the bride and groom as they prepare for the most important day of their lives. For example, you may be able to get a shot of the brides mother doing her hair or makeup. A shot like that will be cherished by both the bride and her mother.

The Outside Of The Church…

Many churches are absolutely beautiful. Be sure to get several images from several different angles. A good church shot could be framed and put on the wall with the couples other wedding photos.

The Bridesmaids and the Best Man…

Take individual shots of each of them, and also a bunch of group shots where they can all be seen standing with the groom.

The Ring Bearer and the Flower Girl…

The flower girl and the ring bearing are usually children. Take many pictures of these two little people. Get down on you knees for some of the shots for amazing photos.

The Bride…

She’ll come walking down the isle on the arm of the man who is giving her away. This is a very important moment for the bride and it should be captured well. This is also a great time to sneak a few shots of the look on the grooms face when he sees her in her dress.

Many times guests will throw rice at the bride and groom as they walk out of the church. Try to get images that capture every step they take, rice and all.

If the couple you are shooting for has a limo be sure to get several shots of it. The couple will want to remember it, both inside and out.

The Decorations…

Couples and their families often put a lot of time and effort into decorating the church and reception hall. Be sure to get several photos, from all different angles, of the decorations.
