4. Discuss your confetti shot with your photographer

Make sure you plan your confetti shot with your photographer before the big day. Ask to see some photos they have taken previously to give you an idea of their style. Your photographer will probably know the wedding location, ask them where they think is the best spot to have your confetti moment. The will be able to discuss options with you according to the time of day, light and surroundings.

5. Make sure your guests know how to throw!

This might sound simple, but you only get one chance to capture the perfect confetti moment and the key is in the throwing.  Delegate a bridesmaid or usher to organise the shot by getting them to ask your guests to stand close to each other and throw their confetti as high as they can to create a perfect flutter.  You don’t want guests throwing confetti directly at your faces!

6. Get high!

If you want your confetti shot to capture the whole moment – you surrounded by all of your guests throwing confetti – then ask your photographer to take the shot from a ladder or somewhere high to ensure they can get everyone in.  As you will probably be looking up towards your confetti, taking the photo from a higher spot will give it an interesting angle.
