Wedding Photos Every Couple Should Not Miss on Their Wedding Day

No matter how beautiful the wedding day is, you cannot bring it back once it’s over. But with photos and videos, you are able to revisit your favorite sweet moments anytime, especially when you become old and gray. With that said, it is very important to make sure you hire a reliable photographer and videographer for your big day. 

Before the wedding day arrives, though, make sure to keep a list of these must-have photos. Sometimes your photographer may miss to take a shot or may have a different concept, and trust us—you wouldn’t want to overlook any of the photographs we put on the list.

To make it easier to remember—and to do away with those long lists—we classify the items into five segments.

A. Beauty and Getting-Ready Moments

The first thing you and your groom do is glam up and get ready with your entourage. While the preparation is ongoing, your photographers should be able to capture the following:

  • Invitation suite
  • Rings (including the engagement ring)
  • Bridal bouquet
  • ●      Accessories (this is for both the groom and bride): wedding shoes, bridal clutch or pouch, jewelry, etc. For more options, you can check the luxury diamonds Vancouver has to offer.
  • The wedding dress 
  • The groom’s suit
  • Bride’s and groom’s portraits
  • Bride with the bridesmaids
  • Groom with the groomsmen
  • Bride’s and groom’s moments with their respective families

It is the norm of photographers to shoot the important details during your glam time. You can trust your snapper to make all the shots Instagrammable or Pinterest worthy, or you can be straightforward and discuss the concept that you want. Nothing beats a couple who knows what they want.

B. The Wedding Ceremony

After the glam-up session, your next location is where your wedding ceremony takes place. If it’s an indoor wedding, you will head to a church, a chapel, or a session hall. Outdoor weddings may be in a garden or at a beachfront. Whichever location you’re heading next, make sure to have your photographer document the valuable elements.

  • The ceremony site
  • The processional or walking down the aisle
  • Exchanging of vows
  • The first kiss
  • The after-ceremony group pictorial
  • The exit (with pop-up confetti or flower petals)

C. Couple Time

This is a secluded moment for the couple, which usually takes place before the reception. The photographer should be able to guide you to do multiple poses. You can also research ahead for “couple pose” ideas and inspiration to make this session a breeze.  

D. The Reception

This is where the party happens. The light and fun atmosphere and all the candid moments are good subjects to keep.

  • The reception site
  • The reception setting and details
  • Favors and tokens
  • The food (and drinks)
  • The wine and cake ceremony
  • The first dance
  • The entertainment (or dance party)
  • The opening of gifts
  • The photo booth

When you get all the shots in this list, you are free to take whatever photos you like. With this must-have listing fulfilled, you can be sure to revisit your wedding-day memory lane with bliss. Now, don’t forget to savor the moment and have fun. Your true feelings will show on the photographs.

Engraving Beautiful Memories on Beautiful Engraved Plaques

My friends laughed at me the moment I volunteered to be a part of the committee of my town’s annual marathon. The marathon always had good purposes and all, but it was somehow always messy. Something always went wrong and it was just mentally and physically exhausting for the committee. But I volunteered anyway because my eyes were on the appreciation plaques that would be given to every member of the marathon committee.

Budgeting for Your Wedding

Weddings are a joyous occasional where you get to celebrate the love you have with someone as well as spending time with close family and friends. However, weddings can get expensive really quickly, especially if you don’t have a budget set from the beginning. Here are some tips you’ll need to get great deals on many of your wedding plans.

Holding Back a Little Information
For some party product and service providers, hearing that your going to be celebrating a wedding could potentially add hundreds to your bill. If you are worried that the price doesn’t seem right, make sure that you are telling venues, caterers and musicians that you are a planning a party, not specifically a wedding. Unless they have specific wedding packages that provide additional services, you can usually get a better deal by being a little vague.

Getting Crafty
One of the places where the cost can get away from you is decorations. You can avoid the cost of having fancy napkins, centerpieces and decorations by dedicating some time to make your own. Not everyone is crafty, so if that isn’t your best skill set, you can persuade friends and family to help you out. Sometimes simple is best, such as tea lights placed in glass jars with ribbon tied around the lip. It takes a little time, but it will save you hundreds of dollars.

Choosing a Destination Wedding
When a local wedding isn’t affordable or you simply want to start your new life on a new adventure, destination weddings can be just as affordable as a small, local wedding if you look for deals. Atlantic City wedding packages, for example, can provide you with all of the services you and your significant other need to celebrate your love with those closest to you. It can also be a trip that is combined with your Honeymoon destination, saving you even more on travel expenses.

There are even more options to save when it comes to planning a wedding on a budget. With a little creativity and dedication to sticking with that budget, you can have the wedding of your dreams no matter what the final price may be.
