In our guide you will find the most important answers about wedding photography and everything you should consider on the subject. You will also learn why a photo booth should not be missing for a perfect wedding photography.
Why creative wedding photos?
Creative wedding photos are the perfect way to capture the emotional moments of the special day for eternity. Whenever you look at the pictures, whether as a bride or a guest, you will be reminded of the wedding. This ensures wonderful emotions, even long after the event.
- Reminder of the special day
- beautiful photos to print out and give away
- Visuals for those who couldn’t be there
Instead of standard portraits and group photos, creative wedding photography creates unusual images that attract everyone’s attention.
Especially large weddings are often overwhelming for the bride and groom: You may not get to talk to everyone for more than five minutes and the moments fly by far too quickly. So it’s all the nicer when everything has been captured photographically.
Staged vs. spontaneous photos
Basically, different types of photos can be desired at a wedding, such as portraits or group photos. Furthermore, a distinction is made between these two types:
- Staged photos: These are the posed pictures and formal shots. For example, portraits of the bride and groom are created, often with the bridal bouquet. Group photos in different constellations are also part of the program at many weddings.
- Spontaneous pictures: Spontaneous photos are taken without posing. They capture selected moments in pictures and usually the people don’t know that they are currently in focus. This ensures authentic memories.
Authentic wedding reportages often cover both: This is what we talk about when the wedding is accompanied photographically – usually from the beginning to the end. The photographic accompaniment often begins with the getting ready, where intimate moments between the bridesmaids and the bride are captured.
Beautiful creative ideas for wedding photos
The more personal the wedding photos, the more beautiful. In this way, the unique character of the bride and groom and their relationship can be captured. The possibilities are endless – choose the variant(s) that best suit your ideas and you as a couple. Here are some ideas:
- In the great outdoors. Wedding pictures in nature are a classic that still bring a lot of creativity to your project. Particularly popular backgrounds are fields, forests and lakeshores. Bring trees into play or go to a park with beautiful plants, statues and fountains.
- Unusual perspectives. It doesn’t always have to be straight from the beginning: photos from a frog’s or bird’s eye view bring a breath of fresh air into the wedding photo session. In the creative perspective, for example, you use an optical illusion to pretend that the bride lifts the groom up with two fingers.
- Personal reference. Accessories and garments with a personal reference give the wedding photos a unique touch. Everything is allowed here – from pets to hobbies (tennis rackets for tennis players or running shoes for enthusiastic joggers) to professional props (a tractor for farmers, uniform for firefighters).
- Unconventional locations. A crazy or creative location for your photo shoot creates really cool wedding pictures. How about an art museum or bar? Here, too, orient yourself to places that are meaningful for you as a couple.
Do you already know Trash the dress?
This is a very special type of wedding shoot. The goal: to create a contrast to the white elegance of the wedding dress. Scrap yards, factories or water and mud are suitable locations. The use of accessories such as rubber boots or biker equipment also creates cool pictures.
There is no guarantee that the dress will survive this unscathed. A trash the dress photo shoot should therefore only be planned if the bride changes after the trash photo session – or after the wedding party.
