Wedding photography of newlyweds
It’s better not to skimp on a photo shoot and invite a talented photographer who is guaranteed to create high-quality professional photographs, suggest subjects and style, and take into account your own ideas for wedding photo sessions.
A few tips for choosing a wedding photographer will help you:
- Chat with at least two candidates and choose the one who shows sincere interest, asks questions about the time of the wedding, place of celebration, theme, and listens carefully to your wishes.
- Check out the portfolio first - it will be clear what artistic style the photographer works in, what his professional level is, and how he knows how to model the best poses for a wedding photo shoot.
- Pay attention to the technical equipment.
Wedding selfie is one of the most popular photosets nowadays. You can play it creatively and coolly. But such photos, most likely, will only be included in the collection of your smart gallery, since taking high-quality photographs that can be used for a wedding photo album is not an easy thing. This requires not only high technical capabilities of the gadget, but also skills.
Wedding photoalbum
If the wedding is celebrated in a certain style - nautical, gangster, fairy-tale, thematic wedding photo sessions are held, including relevant episodes, for example, young people in a boat, in a mysterious forest against the backdrop of a hut, with multi-colored smoke bombs.
Be sure to prepare accessories for your wedding photo shoot. Photo props can include small items, for example, mustaches, glasses, crowns, hats attached to skewers, which guests put on their faces during a photo shoot, as well as wardrobe items: knight's cloaks, fairy caps, boas, helium balloons, signs with inscriptions and etc.
Wedding signs with inscriptions
Large, flat cars cut out of PVC, houses with cut-out windows, boats, thrones, and items that match the theme of the wedding will definitely create an ambiance and allow guests to relax and improvise. A specially organized “free” photo zone or photo booth for a wedding with a set of backgrounds and photo accessories will allow you to take stunning and memorable photographs of guests at the wedding, and will also provide guests with an interesting pastime while the newlyweds are busy with a personal photo shoot with a photographer.
As a place for a photo zone, you can choose a football field, an ice skating rink, a forest, the shore of a reservoir, or an amusement park. Chic summer wedding photography can take place in a botanical garden or during an evening cruise on a yacht.

How to take beautiful photos of the bride and groom from the back, without faces - ideas
The wedding will pass, and gradually, over time, the impressions will begin to fade from memory. Everyone knows that people do not remember the situation itself, but the last memory of it, gradually changing the memory depending on emotions.
In order not to completely forget exactly how the special day went, they create wedding albums. But many poses have been used for a long time, so newlyweds try to find unusual places or angles that will make their photos unique. One of the interesting ideas is a photo of the bride and groom from the back, when the emphasis shifts from accessories to faces or other objects.
Group photos
Sometimes it’s hard to gather all the guests in one shot at once. If you succeed, try not to do it in a trivial way.
A quadcopter is very helpful when photographing a large number of people. If you want a zoom shot, discuss this with your photographer in advance to ensure they can accommodate your desire to capture everyone at once.
The best poses from the back
Many newlyweds have the wrong attitude towards a wedding photo shoot. After all, in magazines or on the Internet, in professional photographs of newlyweds, the position is most often frontal. But there are many interesting poses from the back that will complement the wedding album well. And what gives the photographs a special romanticism is that they depict only young people, always together.
- The newlyweds sit on a bench or log, while looking into each other's eyes, holding hands. Such photographs look very romantic, creating a feeling not of falling in love, but of sincere love, when a couple is able to express feelings with one look. It is important to choose the right thing for the background, preferably a park or lake.
- The newlyweds sit with their backs to the photographer, keep their hands on their knees or on their sides, and reach for each other with their faces for a kiss. Or you can create the same pose, but when the bride and groom have already touched their lips.
- A very beautiful photograph is obtained when the newlyweds are dancing, and one of them turns out to have his back to the photographer. If it is the groom, then he covers the bride with his body, and you can guess her only by her fluffy skirt or her hands with a bouquet. If the girl’s back is turned, then the groom’s face is visible in the frame, so he should look tenderly into the eyes of his beloved.
- The photo looks good when the couple walks along the path holding hands. In this case, you need to use time-lapse photography in order to later select the best shot.
- The groom takes the bride in his arms, and the photographer stands behind. At the same time, it is good if the newlyweds smile at each other, looking with love. Another option could be a sincere laugh or a kiss.
- The newlyweds stand with their backs, while photographing them slightly from the side, so that the man does not overlap the woman. At the same time, the groom’s hands lie on the bride’s shoulders, or fasten the decoration on her neck. Such photographs look good in front of a full-length mirror with an ornate frame, then faces will also be visible. Or you can choose a large window with a beautiful landscape.
- A beautiful photograph will be obtained when a man stands with his back and a woman hugs him. In this case, her hands are on the shoulder blades or lower back, and her fingers form a heart. You can create the opposite composition, but white leather on dark fabric looks very contrasting and advantageous, because you can immediately see what you wanted to focus on.
When choosing an angle, you should remember that if the newlyweds want to take a photo slightly from below, the photographer should stand quite far away. The photo should include not only the newlyweds, but also a lot of free space above and below, otherwise the figures will be disproportionate. You should not choose posing from the back if one of the newlyweds is severely overweight.
The woman in such a photo will look square, and the man will look “loose.”
Winter attributes
To diversify your wedding album and make a special, extraordinary photo shoot, you will need various props. In the modern world you can find a huge number of accessories and decorations that will give your photos individuality and originality:
- various little things - mittens, scarves, sweaters, muffs, shawls, blankets or handkerchiefs, they will add warmth and comfort to you. Against the background of white snow, any bright addition will look advantageous and will attract attention to the photographs. Wear mittens or scarves of the same colors. The most common colors are all shades of brown and red;
- felt boots, which can be decorated with stones or ribbons and thereby make the pictures funny and amusing;
- bagels, mugs, a samovar or a thermos will look very good on a picnic you have during a walk;
- letters. These could be your initials or even your last name, it all depends on your desire and imagination;
- carnival masks . Pairs perfectly with a winter theme;
- ordinary multi-colored balls of wool . One of the cheapest accessories and at the same time you can come up with a lot of options for photography;
- candles _ Another inexpensive attribute that will add romance;
- fruits. Pomegranates, apples and other rich colors are suitable;
- winter style frames
- wedding-themed flags and signs
- colored smoke . The newest and already favorite decoration for photo shoots. With it, the shots turn out to be unusual, very bright and colorful;
- balloons will also add color.
Without faces
Most often in a photograph, the greatest attention is paid not so much to the pose as to the facial expression. Therefore, there are many photographs that strive to capture as many expressions as possible.
This desire is understandable, because if the newlyweds know how to smile, this will take half the attention and will not require much effort on the composition. But newlyweds who want to diversify their wedding book are increasingly choosing photographs without faces, when emotions and thoughts are expressed by pose.
Morning preparations
The bride's photo session begins with capturing the process of preparation for the celebration. A girl poses for a photographer at home with her parents and girlfriends. Some of this may also be natural footage. Boudoir photography involves creating personal, almost intimate shots. These photographs are not for general viewing. You could say this is a kind of gift to your future husband. During the shooting, the girl gradually dresses in her wedding attire.
The photographer records the putting on of a veil, stockings, applying makeup and creating a hairstyle.
Tips and tricks for photographing the bride's morning:
- It is worth remembering that the central figure of the bride’s photo shoot is herself. Shots with interior items or loved ones will only be additional touches. Therefore, a positive attitude and the ability to show sincere, bright emotions are very important.
- Sufficient time should be allocated for photography. Hastily taken shots can later disappoint.
- The photo session may not take place on the wedding day. Usually on the morning of this exciting day, the bride has a lot of worries and not enough time. You can order a boudoir shoot in advance and take your time to take thoughtful, beautiful shots.
- The location for filming can also be a photo studio with appropriate design, or a specially rented hotel room. Filming in picturesque natural areas is also very popular.
- You can combine a wedding hair and makeup rehearsal, dress fitting and a trial photo shoot. In this case, the bride will have an additional opportunity to evaluate the image she has chosen for the wedding.
- Clothing for the bride's morning photography is chosen in a gentle style. This could be a light peignoir of a light tone, a robe made of light silk, or beautiful underwear. However, there may be other options. The main thing is that the model feels beautiful and natural.
- A bold, original option is to pose in a loose men's shirt.
- If your hair is already done, you should make sure that changing clothes for a photo shoot does not ruin it. In this case, wardrobe items with a narrow neck are not suitable.
- While putting on a wedding dress, the bride, her bridesmaids and parents can also pose for the camera. The main stages of putting on an outfit, such as securing the veil, pulling on stockings, gloves, showing off in front of the mirror, and tightening the lacing, always turn out beautiful and impressive.
- At the final stage of the morning shoot, the dressed bride can pose with a toy, doll or other equipment.
Photo shoot for plus size brides
To prevent photographs from highlighting the weaker aspects of your appearance and figure, you should know the features and rules for photographing girls with non-model parameters.
- To ensure that the folds on the waist and sides do not stand out, it is best to photograph the bride standing at full height. It is recommended to avoid bending and bending positions.
- Full-face photos can greatly enhance facial features.
- It is better to take close-up shots from a slightly higher position. When a girl lifts her chin slightly, her neck will look slimmer.
- A side light source hides the fullness well.
- If the light falls directly on the model, it is better to choose a pose in which she will naturally cover her face with her hand. Then the shadow will fall on the neck and chin, visually reducing these parts of the body.
