No matter how nervous you are to be up there in front of everyone, just focus on each other and sharing this time together.” Brides.
Celebrate with family and friends
Family wedding photos are iconic, but a new trend is a more relaxed and natural shots.
“Casual family photos are a great new trend because they bring out more relaxed emotions, which can ease tension during family portraits,” according to the Knot.
”They usually take place during emotionally charged times, either right before or right after a wedding ceremony, so anything that keeps the stress level down will usually result in better photos.”
How to choose the right wedding photographer?
Finding the perfect photographer for you special day isn’t easy, The Knot suggests, “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.”
