In this article, we are discussing ten must-have wedding photos:
Ten of the Most Important Wedding Shots
1) After Putting On the Dress and Vail
You spent months (maybe even longer) searching for the perfect dress. Professional photographs that capture your anticipation of saying “I do,” after you have put on the dress on your wedding day will be something you will enjoy for a lifetime.
2) Bridal Portraits
This is your special day and one of the happiest moments of your life. You will look stunning and you should have some photographs to remember this special time.
3) Getting Ready
Shots of the bride and groom getting ready, donning the boutonnières and ties, and putting the finishing touches on their hair and jewelry are candid and beautiful. Your bridal party is made up of all your closest family and friends.
Getting ready is a time when you are laughing and enjoying the company of those who matter most.
4) Hair and Makeup
You are probably investing quite a bit in your wedding day look. You may never go through quite as much effort on your hair and makeup again.
It is wise to have portraits highlighting your hair and makeup on your special day.
5) The First Look
Whether you schedule a pre-ceremony first look or your groom will first see your dress as you walk the aisle, you want to make sure your photographer captures the moment your groom sees you in your dress for the first time.
6) The Groom
You may have never seen your groom as dressed up as they are on the day of your ceremony. Make sure your photographer is prepared to capture them on your special day together.
7) The Ceremony
Of course, it is vital to capture the key moments of the ceremony. From the exchanging of rings and vows to the pronouncement, and all the moments in between, you want to hire a photographer who is skilled and experienced in preserving all the special moments of your ceremony.
8) The Bridal Party Post-Ceremony
You have just made one of the most important commitments in your life, in the presence of your closest family and friends. It is vital to preserve your memories of the moments following your ceremony with your bridal party present through high-quality portraits.
9) The Bride With Parents
If it is at all possible, schedule a few moments to take photographs with your parents or whoever in your life has been a source of strength and mentorship.
10) The Whole Family
You may have family traveling from many miles away, who you may not see as often as you would like. It would be meaningful to have photos with them on your special day.

Couples are like spring blossoms in that no two are alike.
