Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life. At the time of getting married, it is probably the biggest moment you’ve ever experienced. As a result, you want to do everything you can to preserve these memories forever! What’s the best way to do this? Via the medium of photography!
Yes, you want as many photos of this special day as you possibly can, but how can you make this happen? Here are three ideas and techniques that’ll ensure as much of your big day is captured as is feasibly possible!
Hire a wedding photographer
Wedding photographers are essential as their sole duty is to walk around your wedding and take photos. They can blend into the background, ensuring they don’t get in the way of your guests. A wedding photographer can capture candid moments that nobody else sees, but they can also set up more formal shots as well. When it comes to hiring people for your wedding, a photographer is genuinely the best person you can turn towards. If you’re feeling really boujie, why don’t you hire two photographers?
Rent a photo booth (or two)
While a wedding photographer is great at capturing images around your wedding, a photo booth is fantastic at providing you with some entertaining and fun photos. You can get loads of different types of photo booths, such as a 360 booth or a traditional one. Whichever you choose, it’s guaranteed to provide you with funny images. You see, a photo booth is a chance for your guests to all line up and take hilarious pictures with one another. They will have accessories to put on, different filters to choose from, and the photos get printed out right away.
One awesome idea that’s really catching on is to have a guestbook next to the photo booth. Effectively, you get guests to take pictures in the booth then stick their photos in the book with a little message. By the end of the night, you basically have a mini photo album full of charming pictures of your guests enjoying themselves.
Encourage your guests to take photos
A lot of people feel a bit nervous or awkward when taking photos at a wedding, particularly if there’s a photographer on the prowl. It’s hard to know the etiquette regarding wedding photos, particularly if you’re not a member of the close family. For your big day, make it obvious that anyone and everyone can take as many photos as they like.
In fact, one genius idea is to create a hashtag for your wedding and to encourage guests to use it when they post wedding photos online. This way, you can search for the hashtag and find all the different photos people have taken. It’s always nice to have images from guests as they can give you unique photos that a photographer might miss.
On that note, you’ve now done everything you can to ensure you get as many wedding photos as possible. Now, you can flick through all the different photos from different sources, reminiscing on this special day.
