During the photo shoot

2. Another must-have wedding photo with your groom includes you, your groom, and the season in which you are getting married. You must have chosen this time of the year for a reason, so a picture of you dancing in his arms among fallen leaves, or holding hands among the flowers, or you two in each other’s arms with the winter splendor in the background makes for a lovely picture.
3. If you and your groom have known each other for a long time, visit the special spot where you had your first date and get a picture in your formal wedding attire. This one is sure to be a tear-jerker!

4. Traditionally, the couple is not supposed to see each other before the ceremony as it’s considered bad luck. However, you can get a precious picture of the two of you standing on either sides of a door, which will make looking back on the day that much more special.
5. Have you and your partner found a soul mate in each other because you have the same taste in art? You can always recreate a piece that speaks to you, with the help of pictures, lighting, and more, so that it becomes something that you can frame.
6. To capture the happily-ever-after that is your union, you have to get a shot of you in his arms, whether he is literally sweeping you off your feet or swinging you around.
7. The bride, bridegroom, and dress is a traditional photo, where you not only celebrate your love, but also your ethereal dress. You can kiss him under the veil, or have him hold you while you swirl and show off your beautiful bridal attire.

20. Good pictures become unique when they are taken from an unusual angle. Along with the bird’s eye view picture, also have your photographer take one from the bottom, or from a low vantage point, so that your picture gets a new dimension.
