Creative Wedding Photo Ideas

By Bernard Gray


We are living in an increasingly cut-throat society and most brides want their wedding to be one that's discussed for several years to come. Weddings have virtually become a type of competition among some brides to ensure theirs is the biggest, the brightest, the most unique wedding in their circle of buddies and relatives. One of the popular paths to inject some individualism into a wedding is thru unique and creative wedding photography.

Your wedding photographer will be more than happy to offer you some concepts and creative ideas to make your photos unique, but don't be scared to input your own ideas also. Brides can become worried about appearing in your face, but at the end of the day, you are employing the shutter-bug and there's a big difference between asking for what you need and telling him or her the way to do their job. A good cameraman should be pleased to hear your ideas and even suggest ways to implement or improve them.

Some concepts to consider include incorporating past-times and interests into your wedding footage. If you like roller skating together, why don't you consider one or two shots of you roller skating in your wedding clothes. If you're from a farming or country background, a wacky shot of the bride hiking up her dress to reveal muddy Wellington boots can be a serious amount of fun.

It is also sweet to include props from everyday life or occupation. If the groom is a cop, have some mugshot style pictures taken. The possibilities are huge and can truly help put your mark on your footage.

Meet with your snapper ahead of time and tell her or him everything about you both so they can offer some creative ideas for props and poses. If your concepts aren't feasible on the day, consider an extra bridal shoot at a later time.
