When it comes to capturing the precious memories of your wedding day, you will understandably want some amazing images that can bring that special time back to you in the years to come. No doubt you will also want some classic shots to send out to family and friends. 

It is fun to come up with new and exciting ways to take photos, but there’s something to be said for the value of the old favourites! Here are some classic shots every bride and groom should have!

1. The invitations

It is likely that you have put a lot of careful thought into designing the wedding invitations, and many couples want to have a photograph of the collected suite. This could be complemented with a few details, such as rings or flowers.

2. The preparation

If the bride is having her hair and makeup professionally done, it is nice to have the process captured on camera. It may not look so perfect later on, if the weather is not being kind on your big day! Being buttoned up into the wedding dress is another favourite shot for many brides.

3. The bridal portrait

Once the bride is fully ready, with hair, make up, dress, and bouquet all looking stunning, it would be a great shame not to have captured before the main event. It may be hard to relax and look natural at this point, but a good photographer should bring out the best in you.

4. The groom

The waiting groom is a must-have shot, maybe with a future in-law, or nervously awaiting his bride.

5. The vows

Of course, the expression on the faces of the couple should be captured at this point. Not forgetting the all-important kiss!

6. Family and friend group shots

No wedding would be complete without group shots of the celebration, showing the couple with the people who matter most to them.
