Photographers
Must have shots at your Wedding
Being photographed and feeling comfortable in front of the camera, for most feels like one of thee least favourite things to do! So first piece of advice, do a pre-wedding shoot…..
1) you get more gorgeous photos of you and your partner,
2) it gives you both practice, it gives you time with your photographer to get comfortable with them and each other in front of the camera!
NOW – Shot list! This is a really important thing to get nailed, some couples just say we want candid and no formal shots – fine!!!! But some formal shots should still make the cut! We promise formal shots can still be candid and not feel forced, but they are also a memory for so many involved including family and friends aswell as the two of you!
So we have put together a few musts – but we also recommend searching pinterest and pinning down some example shots you love, and then sitting with your photographer, pre wedding shoot, and making a list together! Your photographer will also be able to help, so do lean on them!
