Our favorite wedding photo ideas

Photographing the wedding gown before the bride slips it on makes for a classic and memorable picture. The wedding dress can be shot exclusively or maybe when someone (preferably the bride) is admiring the dress.
Including flowers in wedding photos and videos makes the video and photo coverage of weddings more lively and sophisticated. Photos and videos of bride and the bridesmaid with bouquets is another idea that can be used.
Mother helping the bride put on the wedding dress video or photo is one of the most nostalgic moments of the wedding and a good occasion to shoot the bonding between the bride and her mother.

The coverage of a wedding is not complete without a photo and a video shot of the bride and bridesmaids just before the wedding.
The ceremony rings are one of the most important properties of a wedding ceremony. Getting a good shot of the rings captures the promise they represent.
Just like the bride and bridesmaids, a nice photo and video shoot should be done for the groom and groomsmen.

The Father giving away the bride is a moment which should be part of any wedding coverage whether it is still photography or videography.
The first kiss after the vows is the best moment of the wedding and should be part of every wedding photo album and video coverage.
The shot of the groom and bride as husband and wife walking down the aisle is another moment that should be part of the memories of any wedding.
Though a little effort is needed, a group photo of the best friends and family in an informal environment.
A video of the favors, menu and centerpieces keeps memories of the wedding fresh. Photos of the details of the favors also transports you back to the memorable day whenever you look at them in the future.
Photos and video of the wedding cake is a must. Make the wedding cake decadent by placing the cake with flowers and bouquet on a nicely decorated table.

Guests toasting the couple during the wedding reception is a good opportunity to capture the spirit of the wedding reception.
The video and picture of the first dance is a must.
For a tender moment, a photo or a video of the bride dancing with her father is a good opportunity that should not be missed.
Similarly, the groom dancing with his mother is another moment that is emotional and must be part of the wedding coverage.
One photograph or a short video does not justify the wedding guests dancing. Multiple photographs and videos with variations (like different angles) should be taken.
Photo booths add a lot of fun. Using props with the photo booth adds a whole new dimension to the photo album and video of the wedding.
Cake cutting is another occasion that should be covered. A formal photograph and video is required and one should look for capturing other fun moments during this event.
Photography of the getaway vehicle is a must.
