For an absolutely stunning picture, add some movement

For a picture showing a strong relationship, look at your soon to be spouse and think of the same thing without saying anything.

A simple gesture, such as a kiss on the cheek or forehead, makes spectacular photos.

Steal way a quiet moment together, away from the crowd, for a special moment. It’s these small moments that tend to become some of the most favorite.

That first look at each other before the ceremony, the ” I can’t believe how amazing you look” moment.

Create a magical moment by looking deep into each others eyes and holding hands.

Capture the joy of the day with a picture of the two of you laughing together

It’s the candid photo’s of pure joy throughout the day make treasured images that will be treasured. A great way to do this is to look at the camera just before a romantic kiss or pausing just before a kiss.

A dramatic and colorful background has a way of heightening the romance.

For a romantic and intense picture, hold hands and keep a straight face.

For an adorable picture, let loose and laugh, there is nothing like candid shots.

To feel the love of your guests, take a picture with your friends and family in the background.

An experienced wedding photographer will capture those unexpected and really sweet moments.

Take the time to get to know your photographer

“Top wedding photography tips for the perfect photosAnother great way to test your connection with your wedding photographer is to state your concerns upfront. For example, maybe you’re camera shy or you don’t know how to pose or you’re worried about certain wedding party members (like some groomsmen, for example) not cooperating in the group shots. If you’re dreaming of specific pictures not typically included on a wedding shot list, bring that up too,” The Knot.

“If you’re feeling nervous about your day-of photos, we recommend booking a test run ahead of your wedding date. Not only will it give you some gorgeous engagement photos (which you can even use on your save-the-dates), it’ll also give you more time to bond with your pro.”
