after the ceremony , bring a phone and find a quiet location with your photographer where you can practice your first dance one more time . Activities like these helps keep you moving and acting naturally in front of the camera , rather than getting hung up on posing . Plus , it keeps photos fun , as they should be !
The Ceremony Your wedding ceremony is a key moment for your photographer to become a candid ninja and capture un-staged photographs of you and your loved ones . If these are important photographs for you to have , it ’ s a good idea to have a second shooter to help your photographer capture more photos of the audience as well !
The number one way you can get a stunning collection of candid ceremony shots is to have an unplugged ceremony . The best photographs of grandparents holding hands and dad wiping away a tear , happen when they ’ re not trying to get their iPhone video to focus ! Put up a sign reminding people to unplug ,
and have your officiant remind everyone to please pocket their devices before beginning .
If you ’ re up for the challenge , writing and speaking your own vows to one another during the ceremony creates a lot of great moments to capture between the two of you . You don ’ t have to speak them to the whole audience if you don ’ t want , but this is the best opportunity to share with one another how much this day means to you . Looking back at these photos will always recall your words to one another , and that ’ s a pretty beautiful memory to have .
At the end of the day , setting a few small intentions to share your time and love with friends and family will create endless rewards . In addition to helping , you slow down and create beautiful memories , I can guarantee that these will be the photos you revisit time and again . The simple rule of thumb to remember is this : if you love candid photographs , then allow space and time for these candid moments to naturally unfold throughout your wedding day . •
