If you’re like most brides, you’ve spent months finding the perfect wedding gown. Now that the big day is approaching fast, you have to think of briefing the wedding photographer. Since you’re only going to be wearing the dress this one day, make sure you get a lot of beautiful shots of your fairy-tale gown.
An experienced wedding photographer will know exactly what shots to take but feel-free to brief them too.
Here are some examples of photos you can take to capture the details of your gorgeous gown:
1) Ruffles
Not all women are brave enough to don a ruffled wedding dress but if you’re one of the few who is, be sure to show them off in your photos. Stand near the window and have the sun bounce off their edges.
2) The hustle-bustle of the bridesmaids as you get dressed
All brides need help getting into their dresses. Let your photographer catch these final moments where your girls are doing up the final hooks and buttons. It will always bring a smile to your face when you glance over the photos.
3) The details in the back
Designers put in a lot of work to make the dress as striking from the back as it is from the front.
Take photos to subtly show-off the back of your dress. The classic photo of the bride peering out of the window is a great way of capturing the details on the back as well as the shots of the first-dance.
4) The moment he first sees you
All brides look for the twinkle in their groom’s eye when he first sees her in the dress. This is the moment you’re going to want to savor for life. It’ll be the first photo of the both of you together as bride and groom.
5) The train on the aisle
Bridal gown trains demand attention! Have your photographer take snaps of you walking towards your man with your train following you on the aisle.
6) All the lace, pearls, ribbons
If your wedding dress is covered in intricate details, have your photographer take plenty of close-up shots to catch them all.
7) The trimming of the veil
The veil adds the finishing touch to your bridal gown and looks amazing in photos.
As a professional wedding photographer, I understand the significance of capturing impeccable shots of your dream wedding gown.
All that thought you put into picking the perfect dress is celebrated in your wedding photos.
