A wedding celebration leaves behind a lot of positive emotions and vivid impressions, which, alas, fade every day. But I really want to plunge into that amazing atmosphere of fun again. This is why many couples organize photography at their wedding. But everyone has long been bored with banal shots against the backdrop of nature or, even worse, the walls of a banquet hall. What to do? Prepare the props for the photo shoot - and your wedding shots will become original and interesting, the Svadebka.ws portal is sure.
Choosing wedding props for a photo shoot
When going in search of wedding photo props, you shouldn’t buy everything indiscriminately. Give preference to several accessories for shooting, taking into account a number of factors:
- Style and color of the wedding (paraphernalia for a festive photo shoot should emphasize the theme of the celebration, for example, for a naval wedding, captain’s caps, lifebuoys, steering wheels, etc. would be an excellent option).
- Time of year (for a wedding celebration in winter, you can use sleighs or skates, Christmas tree branches and Christmas balls, bright hats and mittens as props; in spring - flowering tree branches, origami bird figurines; in summer - delicious gifts of nature and flowers; in autumn - pumpkins, umbrellas, blanket and cups of tea, colorful leaves).
- Place of the holiday (if the celebration is held outdoors, the ideal accessories for photography will be gifts of nature: red-sided apples, orange pumpkins, bouquets of wild flowers, bright leaves, etc.; if in a banquet hall, then you can prepare photo props on sticks for the wedding (mustache , speech clouds, hats, etc.), which will help guests dream up their image and create unique shots).
Tip: if you are planning to photograph a love story, then prepare thematic props for it too. These could be “I agree!” signs, soft hearts, soap bubbles, large paper rings, bright umbrellas in the shape of a heart, etc. You can easily use some of these accessories at a wedding photo shoot.

Sign up for commercial seminars
The strangest way: some photo gurus manage to hold paid seminars, where they take out deposits of accessories for shooting from a certain manufacturer, and everyone can shoot their sets with this surroundings for money. It’s not cheap, the choice of surroundings is small, and other novice photographers will be shooting the same thing with you at the same time. Of course, a professional will not attend such a seminar, but for beginners it can be useful to see how others work and ask questions to those who conduct the seminar.
Rent from other photographers
A great opportunity not to turn your studio or apartment into a warehouse of unnecessary things is to rent props from those who have already accumulated this ambiance in abundance. Look for photography communities on social networks, join groups and don’t be shy to ask questions. Some studios are ready to provide the surroundings of interest for a small fee, while others will be happy to share their collections with you for free. The whole question is to find people and gain their trust.
Make friends among your colleagues, it will be much easier for you to solve issues of this kind.
Using accessories for a wedding photo shoot

Pay attention to the simplest things
In fact, most often the frame is not based on something fancy. It is made by absolutely simple objects that do not attract any attention in everyday life: napkins, ordinary dishes, ribbons, flowers, various unremarkable trinkets, everything that surrounds us in everyday life. Perhaps this is exactly what should be considered the main basic set for product photography. Unusual objects are designed to add zest to the frame, to become a special “feature” that attracts attention and adds additional shades or a whole dimension to the meaning.
Explore grandma's buffet and mezzanine
This opportunity is missed by many photographers who specialize in product photography. And it’s completely in vain: in the deposits of outright junk, gathering dust somewhere in a country attic, you can find bizarre artifacts: old coal irons, fancy kerosene lamps and mirrors, dishes that can no longer be bought in any store. Modern industry produces disposable, cheap items created for a single utilitarian purpose. Just half a century ago things were made, if not for centuries, then for many decades. And even if all this cannot be used for its intended purpose, they can look great as a prop in the frame.

Do it yourself
Many objects that make up the basis of the frame (backgrounds, substrates, compositional elements) can and should be made with your own hands. An ordinary wooden board, tin sheet or large piece of foam from the hardware store can be turned into wonderful decoration. In this case, you need a little time and imagination.
Some studios and workshops specialize in such accessories for photography, and for little money you can buy some starter kit of photo backgrounds there: wood, concrete, marble, metal. Just pay attention to the realistic textures: cheap plastic photo backdrops will only ruin the photo.
In these same stores you can buy fabric runners and draperies. However, nothing prevents you from finding suitable fabrics in the same grandmother’s chests or preparing runners with your own hands. You can find a lot of interesting things in any store that sells fabrics: they have real deposits of scraps from which you can select very interesting samples for props.
