Five Photos You Have To Have In Your Wedding Album
Have you ever looked at someones wedding photo albums and then kicked yourself for not getting the kind of pictures and poses that they have? Do you ever wish you could do it again so that you could make your wedding album more interesting? Is your wedding album so boring that you do not even know where it is and the wedding was only a month ago? Here are five photo ideas that everyone should have in their albums.
One of my very favorite pictures in my photo album is a picture of my wife’s hand in mine on top of a beautifully rich textured Bible. With our fingers entwined, like lovers embracing, our shiny new wedding rings are polished to a high shine and her sparkling diamonds is simply radiating the sunlight in multicolored glory. It is a breathtaking shot that adorns the front outer sleeve of the album. This photo is particularly special as I recently lost my precious ring in an unfortunate accident. So special was this ring to me that even a photo of it makes me nostalgically sad, as if recalling the smile of a lost family member.
Capture your family’s generations. Don’t wait for your wedding to snap this next treasure. Always strive to get a photo of as many generations of your family as possible. Take pictures of your grandmother, your mother, your self, and your daughter for a generational shot that will not be available forever. Have your husband in the same pose with his father and grandfather and your son. While this pictures are important as individual sides and genders get together for what could be the last time, it is just as important to get a shot of all of you, husbands and wives, fathers, mothers, and children together as a group.
Photographers who are well informed about who in the crowd is who will have the best opportunities to get these next shots. If, for instance, your wedding photographer knows who the father of the bride is, he might be able to capture the forlorn look of pride and sadness on his face as he watches his daughter take her first steps towards womanhood and a family of her own, and her first steps away from being his special little girl. There is almost always a special moment when mother and father look at each other during the ceremony and pass between them the unspoken moment that speaks of stepping through a doorway that leads to new chapter in all of their lives.
The moment the officiant announces that he would like to introduce you and your new spouse as Mr. and Mrs. Is usually a perfect opportunity to capture magic from the bride and groom, the parents, grandparents and just about everyone in the room. That is the first time they are spoken of as husband and wife and this is a special moment that many photographers miss.
A photo of the entire family together in one place is rare and the wedding is one of the few opportunities to capture it so do not let it slip by. Take this photo as early in the reception as possible, before anyone has a chance to slip away or gets too much party in them. Seating grandparents and children in the front allows for an exceptional shot.
