Of course, your wedding photographer will have their own suggestions for pictures celebrating your big day, but it’s also important to know what you want.

Try and take some time to come up with your own ideas because you plan to only do this once!

Almost There

Your wedding day will go by in such a blur. Taking some time to capture those special moments leading up to the ceremony will ensure you can bring these happy memories back over the many years you and your partner will be spending together.

Try and use as much natural light as you can and a wide-angle lens if you need to get a lot of people in the picture.

Body Swap

With a couple of mirrors, you can lighten the formal mood that so often creeps into wedding photography. Why not position the groom’s head on the bride’s body and vice versa?

This concept works equally well for same-sex couples since the humour lies in the juxtaposition of looks rather than gender.

Funny Socks are a Thing

Why not haul out the funny socks you’ve idly purchased over the years and give them a supporting role in your wedding show? The variations possible here are almost endless, from those featuring cartoons, superheroes, or even candidates people are wagering on when it comes to Political betting in Australia!

Get a Little Help from Your Friends

They’ve been by your side for many years and may even have played a role in you meeting your spouse. Include your friends.

Use props that speak to your lifestyle, or theirs, get some confetti and release it just before the shutter clicks, or just show each other some love.

Keep Your Crazy

If you want some hilarity injected into the proceedings, don’t be afraid to inject your own spirit into the photoshoot. Grimace, take unconventional shots, and just have some fun with the photographer.

Let Your Inner Kid Out to Play

You could jump on the bed! Hell, you don’t even need your photographer for this if you’ve got a smartphone or camera with a timer. Just let out a rebel yell and bounce for all you’re worth.

A Photo Featuring Multiple Generations

Get creative with a family photo featuring your parents and your partner’s. Approach it without a specific pose in mind, too, so that the moment itself can serve as inspiration.

Rings as Symbols of True Love

Put your hands alongside your partner’s to show the rings you’ve given each other off to perfection. It’s the perfect symbol of what the day means after all is said and done.

Say Cheers

Gather your most intimate family and friends and tell them how you feel about them, why you’re all raising a glass together. Let the photographer do their work in capturing the moment so it lives on forever.

Take a Photo From Above

If your venue allows for it, taking a photograph from way up high can have a stunning effect. Look for a way to play symmetry and pattern to perfection to get a great shot.
