Photos that I am so glad I have from my wedding!
Typically if you have a good photographer they will help you make a picture list that lists the different pictures that you want to have of your wedding day.
These are a few pictures that I didn’t necessarily have on my list but I am really grateful that I have!
📷A picture of our rings: this is actually one of my favorite pictures. I like that I have one picture that doesn’t have our face or bodies in it but still feels connected to us!
📷 Bride and groom back to back before the wedding: we didn’t do a first look so this is such a fun picture to look back on
📷Reflections in a mirror: I am so grateful this mirror was in the area where we got ready as these are some of my favorite pictures with my dad and flower girl!
📷Our parents during the reception: I loved to look back at these and see the expression on their faces because it’s not like you get the chance to do it during the actual wedding
📷A picture with my mom and MIL: I love this because both of these women mean so much in my life!
📷A true picture of people at the reception: Our wedding was on a college game day for our local college and I love this true depiction of people watching the game at our reception— our reception had more of a tailgate feel anyways so this was perfect!

When planning a wedding, many couples focus on must-have shots like the first look or the kiss at the altar. However, there are countless candid and spontaneous moments that can make wedding photos truly magical. These unplanned photos often reflect the joy, love, and unique quirks of the day, capturing memories that might otherwise be forgotten. Consider asking your photographer to document scenes that encapsulate the spirit of your wedding. For instance, a close-up of wedding rings can symbolize the commitment you have made, while a snapshot of family during moments of laughter can showcase the love surrounding you. Reflections in mirrors can create stunning visuals by showing emotions without mandatory poses. Additionally, you may want to include scenes from your wedding's venue that highlight its ambiance and design, such as decorations or table settings. Shots of guests engaging in fun activities, even those as simple as watching a game, can also bring your wedding story to life in unexpected ways. These elements often lead to the most authentic and heartfelt photography. Encourage brides-to-be to think outside the box; a list of unposed moments can serve as inspiration for their photographers, revealing the day as it unfolds naturally. Engaging with guests in creative ways can also enhance the fun—consider games or interactive stations to help your friends and family capture their own memories. Ultimately, the beauty of wedding photography lies not just in orchestrated moments but also in the candid ones that truly reflect the essence of your day. Let every snapshot tell a story—a reminder of laughter, tears, joy, and love, culminating in the adventure that is marriage.
