Develop a Relationship with Your Photographer

Just like your wedding planner uses your personality as a couple to design the perfect wedding, your photographer uses that same personality and their relationship with you to determine which photos to take and when. The more time you can spend with your photographer before the wedding, the better that relationship will be; the better your relationship, the better the photos.

Lighting is Strategic

If you want sunset photos in your wedding album, you’re going to have to be strategic about the time of day you plan your wedding and your wedding photos. Talk to your wedding photographer about your wishes so that they can help you determine the best photography and wedding schedule to get the pictures you are hoping for.

Have Fun!

Probably one of the best and easiest tips for getting the best photos at your wedding is to have fun! You don’t have to be stiff, somber, or formal in your photos. Casual, laidback attitudes and enjoying yourself are things you should want to convey on your wedding day anyway, so why not celebrate those happy moments in your photos instead of trying to force it?

Consider Doing a “First Look”

“First looks” are becoming more and more popular among couples, and for good reason. A term not well known, the “first look” is a moment when the bride and groom see each other before the ceremony. Yes, it breaks tradition a little, but almost any photographer will tell you that getting that first look before the ceremony can make getting the best photos for your wedding a lot easier.
