Souvenirs for guests
If there are not too many guests at the wedding, you can hire an artist who will draw a caricature of each guest throughout the evening. It is unlikely that anyone will refuse such a gift. Therefore, when friends and relatives leave the holiday, a portrait will be waiting for them at the exit, which will remind them of your wedding for many years to come.
You can also set up an instant photo station. The photographer must take a staged photo of each guest, and by the end of the holiday, print them on a pre-prepared printer. Thus, those invited will leave the celebration with a gift in the form of a photo.
Tips for a successful summer wedding photo shoot
- At this time of year it is better to take pictures in nature, but you can also get great pictures in the city if you approach the matter with imagination. In any case, leave the room, do not do it within four walls.
- Have a plan B in case of bad weather. You may be in hot and stuffy weather or torrential rain. Decide in advance where you will go with the photographer if you have to.
- Think about your looks - will you be photographed in your main wedding dress or will you wear a separate one specifically for the photo shoot? Should the groom change his clothes? Do you have cute umbrellas in case of rain?
- Opt for the famous "golden hour" with soft, pouring light, which occurs around 5pm. In addition, sunrise or sunset will suit you, especially at sea. If the sun is shining brightly, then taking pictures at the wrong time (such as midday) will not flatter you. Verified.

If you want nature even within the city, look for a park, a botanical garden or a small artificial pond. For interesting photos, have a picnic, feed the birds and squirrels, play games (badminton, Jenga, petanque) and lie on the grass.
Take a fresh look at familiar city buildings and landmarks – which ones will look different in photographs? Is it possible that for a wedding photo shoot in the summer it is worth looking at them from a different angle, going from a new angle, or just coming closer to see the barely noticeable details?
Le Secret d'Audrey
Stroll through the streets of the city, choosing the most picturesque ones. It is better to do this early in the morning so that there are no strangers in the frame. Hold hands, sing, dance, kiss, enjoy this day! Pose for a photographer against the backdrop of shop windows and walls that you like, pet cats passing by, drink coffee and eat ice cream.
Stop at a cafe with cute tables and chairs outside. Relax and, of course, pose. Order coffee in photogenic coffee cups or a delicious-looking dessert - these will serve as good props.
Transport can also be considered a prop, so if you have the opportunity to use it, don’t miss it. When boarding an old tram, take a photo on the step or inside. Ride around the city on a moped or bicycle. Even a scooter with a hoverboard will bring your photos to life.
An abandoned area of the city will be an unusual place for photographs - such buildings and unused railway lines often look picturesque. But keep in mind that these places are not always safe. In addition, it is often dirty there, take care of your clothes.

The most romantic idea for a summer wedding photo shoot in your city is a rooftop at sunset. The two of you, the setting sun and a breathtaking view of the city. Check which rooftops you can go to and take escorts who know them.
The obvious choice is what nature itself offers. The forest produces magical photographs if the light falls correctly. Take a walk in the forest, pick mushrooms and berries, sit on fallen trees.
The shore of a river or lake is usually spectacular on its own; you don't need any additional props. If you wish, you can find a boat and even decorate it. Don't forget about taking pictures with your reflections in the water.
An idea for a summer wedding photo shoot is a field with flowers or wheat. Here you can place and decorate a small table or do without it.
When organizing a wedding outdoors, choose a site where you can conduct part of the photo shoot. It’s good if there is a well-groomed clearing, gazebo, landscape design or a small artificial lake. The garden on the site or next to it should also attract attention and encourage you to go into it for a couple of bright photographs in which you are collecting apples in a wicker basket or admiring scarlet roses.
What poses are best to avoid?
The groom holds the bride in his palm
These games look extremely ridiculous in space. If you want to play with sizes, then it is better to find other ways to do this. For example, use accessories and facial expressions.
Jumping
It is quite understandable that such techniques are resorted to in order to enliven the shooting. However, there are no people who would be painted by the distorted faces and awkward gestures that accompany the jump. There are much more interesting ideas for adding a fun touch to your wedding photos.
Fake-passionate poses
A risky and extremely unsuccessful idea. Poses like these are too intimate to be in these types of photographs.
Props for a photo shoot in summer
With the right location and thoughtful images, there is no need for props. But if you want, think about food - cups of coffee, photogenic cakes, ice cream, lemonade in steamy glasses. Accessories that help you keep your hands occupied and relax if you get nervous are also suitable - soap bubbles, flowers, balls, colorful crayons, colored smoke or even Holi colors. Cool sunglasses will decorate more than one shot, and a large hat will be the hit of the shoot. And don't forget matching umbrellas in case of rain!
Bridal dress
There are several options for attire for the bride:
- If your funds allow you to do this, buy a couple of dresses at once. One should be classic, suitable for marriage registration, as well as for a photo shoot. Another may be shorter and more convenient to feel comfortable during a banquet and dancing.
- Most often, bridesmaid dresses are white, however, if you want to stand out, you can choose an outfit in soft beige, light blue or pink tones. If you are not ready for such drastic changes, purchase individual elements or accessories made in a color other than white. For example, a turquoise belt or a terracotta-colored bow on the back.
- Sometimes brides wear their mothers' or even grandmothers' dresses, or borrow some accessories. It turns out to be a sort of retro image.
Peculiarities
Preparations for a wedding ceremony always require a lot of effort and perseverance, but the holiday itself flies by in an instant. Those getting married not only want to diversify this day and make it perfect, but also want to preserve it for a long memory in photo and video shooting. The ideal place for wedding photography is, of course, nature.
Of course, when choosing a background landscape, you can’t do without the practical advice of a professional photographer, but if you have your own preferences, you shouldn’t give them up. You may want to take the photo shoot in a place that is memorable to you, such as where you first met or had your first kiss. A wedding is a time for two lovers, and it should go as they wish.
Even within the city, you can choose hundreds of excellent places for wedding photography, not to mention the picturesque outskirts. Within the city, it is better to choose an embankment, a park, a square near architectural monuments, a garden and other cozy places. But outside the city there are other opportunities to enjoy complete unity with nature. For example, you can order a photo session in a charming forest, an endless field, a flowering meadow, vast mountains, and, of course, at the sea.
In such places, nature is less affected by man and appears in its natural beauty, helping to create extraordinary photographs.
If you decide to capture the best moments, then by choosing natural landscapes for a photo shoot, your photos will be different:
- originality;
- quality;
- brightness;
- beauty;
- uniqueness.
Such photos will not only decorate the album, but will also become a beautiful reminder of the wedding.
Example scripts
The wedding reception can be held outdoors or indoors. In the warm season, it is better to choose the first option. But the weather is fickle and changes frequently. Provide a tent where guests can shelter from the wind or rain.
The event can take place on a terrace, veranda, boat or on the lake. The choice depends on your individual preferences. In such a place you can organize the ceremony itself. Guests and heroes of the occasion do not have to travel to their destination to enjoy exquisite culinary masterpieces. Place tables with snacks and drinks, create an area for relaxation and photography, include entertainment for guests - and the perfect holiday is ready!
If you are planning to hold an event in the form of a buffet in a restaurant, first of all, it is important to think about the arrangement of tables. Although space is limited, guests should be able to move around comfortably
Depending on the free space and the number of guests, tables can be arranged in an L or W shape. The room should not be cluttered or crowded. For such a holiday, you can use the services of a host who will make the event more fun. Supplement the program with dancing, live music, watching videos and congratulating guests.
If young people are very limited in budget, a restaurant can be replaced with a home environment. In this case, you will have to prepare snacks yourself or order delivery. The bride, her family and friends will have to think through the decoration of the hall and table setting themselves. If space allows, organize several areas for meals, relaxation, dancing and competitions. Calculate the menu based on the number of guests. Place the tables conveniently - along the wall so that they do not take up much space and guests can reach all the treats, remove unnecessary items from the room. A wedding buffet at home is more suitable for a small company.
Types of terrain
Let's look at several types of terrain that are most popular among newlyweds.
The summer months are considered the best time for a wedding due to the excellent weather and sunny days. At this time there are many options for a photo shoot in nature. Very unusual and bright photographs are taken in a field full of heading wheat or strewn with various flowers.
Not everyone can imagine that a wedding photo shoot in the field can bring great results. But a field is not an endless piece of land, so there is room to roam there too:
- poppies will add richness and create an advantageous contrast with the bride’s white dress;
- sunny sunflowers themselves are enchanting, they will add not only color, but also warmth to the photo;
- ears of wheat add their own color, creating a romantic aura around the newlyweds;
- A horse ride in a field is one of the most original ideas that adds ambiance to the pictures.
There are several other options for the same theme, for example, instead of a field, it could be a green meadow or hayfield. Such photographs have a special charm and originality. Such photos can be complemented with special accessories, giving them a romantic mood.
The following accessories are suitable:
- a wreath or bouquet of wildflowers;
- openwork sun umbrella;
- a large bunch of balloons;
- light fabric fluttering in the wind.
Another enchanting place for photography is the forest; you can conduct a photo session in it both in summer and autumn. Such an area carries a mystery and a special aura, guaranteeing success. Good photos can be taken on a forest path among ancient trees, or you can capture how the newlyweds dance in a forest clearing.
If you take a few attributes with you, you can recreate a small picnic where you can take a lot of great photos. Another great shot will come out if the bride and groom, holding hands, walk into the distance along a path that symbolizes their path in life.
Nature offers many possibilities, and each of the landscapes is beautiful and original in its own way.
Creative image of the bride and groom
Unusual bright costumes of the bride and groom will be a feature of a creative wedding celebration. To make an impression, when choosing outfits, consider their harmonious combination with the overall style of the holiday. For example, when choosing a script dedicated to a particular movie, the bride and groom must dress in the costumes of the main characters of the film. Take the time to create complete images, carefully work out the details, including hairstyle, accessories, and demeanor. And then put on a full-fledged show that your guests will surely enjoy!
If the wedding does not have a specific theme, then a dress made of bright material will be a creative outfit for the bride: scarlet, white with a lush green veil, burgundy with black, etc. Choose original styles (asymmetrical cut, embroidered with colored threads, batik) or be creative by creating a sketch of the desired outfit and ordering it to be sewn in the studio. For the groom, a good solution would be a suit that contrasts with the color of the bride's dress.
Other shooting options
If a forest or field seems too standard for you, opt for one of the options listed below.
- Blooming garden. In spring, when everything is blooming and bursting with color, there is no better place for filming than the garden. Blooming flowers are beautiful and tender, like a bride, they will perfectly convey the love feelings of the newlyweds.
- Near the water you get great pictures, and it doesn’t matter whether it’s the sea or an ordinary stream. Nowadays, photos on the water, for example, on a boat or even a catamaran, are especially relevant. It also looks very beautiful when a couple stands on a bridge near a pond or pier.
For those who want to take extraordinary photos, you can take pictures directly in the water, but you should take a change of clothes.

Choosing a pose for wedding photography depending on the time of year
- Winter. Stand opposite each other and start playing snowballs or put on matching bright mittens and try to catch snowflakes.
- Spring. At this time, kisses will look great against the backdrop of a blooming garden. You can also lie down on the young grass and gently look into your partner's eyes or just into the sky. When it rains, you might want to consider putting on rubber boots, pulling up your trousers, picking up your dress and walking through the puddles.
- Summer. In the warmer months, it will be original to take off your shoes, hold hands tightly and run along the shore or water towards the photographer. Another option for a photo shoot is to organize a picnic on the beach and feed each other fruit or wipe your mouth with a napkin.
- Autumn. An interesting idea is to shower each other with yellowed leaves. If there is a swing, it can be hung from a tree in the forest, then the groom can swing the bride on it. In bad weather, it will be original to cover your faces with one transparent umbrella and kiss.

Stylistics
The term “creativity” means a creative, unique approach. A creative wedding involves the use of non-traditional details in costumes, venue design and decor.
The main thing in planning a creative wedding is to use as many thematic attributes as possible: if it is a biker wedding, then along with the wedding dress the bride can wear a leather vest, a black choker instead of a shiny necklace, and shoes decorated with spikes instead of traditional white ones. The outfits of the bride, groom, guests and staff should be in harmony with the decorations at the venue, the wedding menu and even the invitations.
