2. Capturing the First Look 💕👰

The first look is one of the most emotional moments of a wedding day. Have your photographer capture the expression on each other’s faces when you meet for the first time, and the moment. This may seem traditional, but it’s always a timeless one. Capturing the first look will help you remember the emotions of the day clearly.

4. The Nature-Loving Couple 🌿🍃

If you’re an outdoor-loving couple looking for creative wedding photo shoot ideas, nature-inspired photoshoots may be just what you’re looking for. Use your surrounds creatively to capture moments in the woods, by the lake, or even while enjoying a walk through a field. You can depict intimacy and tenderness on your photos that leave you feeling like you’ve been transported into a fairy tale.

5. The Silhouette Shot 🌄✨

The Silhouette shot is one of the most iconic shots and a timeless picture that everyone loves. When done correctly, this kind of picture can leave anyone speechless. This shot is best taken during sunset when the orange sky offers the perfect contrast for your stunning outlines to dominate the main focus of the picture.

6. Sign It! 📝🖋️

Another fun and memorable photo idea is incorporating signs in your pictures. Have your wedding party hold up creative signs like “Just Hitched,” “I Do,” or even “saved the date” that you notice often on social media; you can get creative with them. Adding signs in your wedding photos can add a touch of humor and leave you with a unique wedding story to tell.

7. Dance like no one’s watching 💃🕺

Your wedding day should be full of energy and joy, and your dance floor photos should depict the same. So, light up the dance floor, and have a photographer capture your favorite dance routine. You can get creative and have your photographer move along with the dance. Capture the perfect shots as you spin around, and the emotion on your guests’ faces as they join in on the fun.

8. Get Aerial 🚁📷

Drone shots have been all the rage in recent times. Hire a drone photographer to capture some stunning aerial shots if your wedding venue offers ample space and fantastic scenery, and even better if you’re having an outdoor wedding. These stunning pictures have a grand touch and give an overview of your fantastic wedding venue.

9. Lit it up 🌟🎆

I’m sure that during any outdoor wedding, fairy lights and creative lighting arrangements are an absolute must-have. Lights highlight picturesque backgrounds and detail beautiful wedding decor images. Before the events start, make sure your photographer takes advantage of the fairy lights, chandeliers, and other decor in the wedding venue to capture stunning photos with a graceful glow.

You can provide your guests with fun props, hats, glasses, and other accessories so they can take crazy photos. This is probably the most laid-back part of the wedding reception and could be an excellent way to capture evidence for later.
