As a wedding photographer, one of the foremost requirements is to have “the eye” for taking good photos, find ing the picture perfect moments in a day that just need to be taken. There are some moments in wedding photography that you know from experience will make for the best images. I’ve put together a list in the past for some of the most important wedding photos you need to capture, but this list is a little more direct, and more of a list of what most people tend to expect in their wedding photography without any fuss. More focussing on the wedding ceremony itself.

Whether you’re in the wedding photography business or just an avid fan of tear-jerking moments, here are nine of the most picture perfect moments in weddings that you simply have to capture on camera.

Picture Perfect Moments leading up to the Ceremony

The Details

The bride and groom spent copious amounts of time in picking out the details of the wedding—so capturing them on camera is a good way to show appreciation. The flowers, the layout, and the program are merely some of the things you can zoom in on.

The Venue

Taking a panoramic shot of the wedding venue is always one of the best shots. The venue is one of the things that couples take so much time in choosing and reserving—a nice photo of the place makes for a perfect photo.

The Guests

A few shots of the guests milling about, finding their seats, and chatting joyously to each other makes for powerful photographs. Candid photos like these aren’t just picturesque, but they add colour and excitement to the wedding portfolio.

The Groom

More often than not, the groom will arrive first on the scene ahead of the bride. Some photos of his arrival and preparation, as well as zooming into his face for emotion are good picture perfect moments in the album. Make sure to watch out for him walking down the aisle, most of Groom’s emotions about the ceremony start showing there. Be on standby to capture his face when he sees the bride—these emotion-filled moments are the perfect time for photography.

The Bride

The bride will definitely be the star of the show, so documenting her from start to end is a must. As soon as the bridal car arrives, try to capture her inside up to the moment she steps out. Some close-up photos of her face before her entrance is definitely a necessity—and taking a picture of her entrance is an absolute must.

Picture Perfect Moments During the Ceremony

The Traditions

As the ceremony begins, ensure to capture the various traditions involved. Whether it’s lighting the unity candle, stomping on glass or hand fasting—these small gestures define the couple and the lives they live, making for a picture perfect moment and representation of themselves. If they write their own vows, it’s also the perfect time to zoom in and capture their emotions on camera.

The Reactions

While the guests may not have that big of a role in the ceremony, their reactions to various things happening is a key to capturing the story of a ceremony. This is where your photographer’s eye comes in, watching out for any sudden streaks of emotion which would make for picture perfect moments. More often than not, this will elicit some laughter and joy—further driving this joyous occasion.

4 Wedding Photo Ideas to Take With Your Bridesmaids

A Selfie

Now, you’ve probably taken thousands of selfies with your best friends until many of them may feel rather forgettable. However, this selfie may be the most special of all the selfies you’ve ever taken. One day, you’ll look back at this photo quite fondly, as it’ll represent a special and unstaged moment that you shared with your bridesmaids on your big day.

A Helping Hand

While selfies are great, remember that you hired the best wedding photographer you could find for a reason! Be sure to get a photo of your bridesmaids helping you get ready for the wedding. Be creative with this. For example, it could be a photo of them helping you with your hair and your makeup. The key to this photo is staging things in a way that makes everything feel alive and active!

A Ring Pic

Another fun photo idea would be a photo of you showing off the beautiful ring on your finger. This gives you a lot of room for quite a bit of wackiness, as the key here is to be as over-the-top as possible!

Walking Down the Aisle

On to something a little more serious: getting a photo before you walk down the aisle with your bridesmaids lined up next to you will make for a great photo. You can take this concept even further and have your wedding photographer take continuous shots as you walk past each of them as you make your way down the aisle. You’ll only have one shot at this, so be sure to hire the best photographer available.
