If you are planning to hire a photographer for your wedding, you’re going to want to make the most of their time at your event. We’ve put together a list of photos to consider adding to your “must have photo list” for your photographer. Providing this list will ensure that no special moment during your wedding day is left undocumented!
Getting Ready Photos
We definitely recommend having your photographer capture important moments between you and your girls while you get ready for your special day! These moments can be just as fun to look back on as the ceremony itself.
The First Look
The first look has become a popular trend in the past few years for a reason! This is a special moment captured by the photographer of the first time the bride and groom see each other on their wedding day. Traditionally, the first time the groom would see the bride was when she was walking down the aisle. But with a first look, you are able to have that special, private moment before the ceremony, which means that you can get a lot of your formal photos done before the ceremony too, instead of during cocktail hour. That way you can really soak up every part of the night and you won't have to spend the entire event posing for photos.
