Engagement shoots should be customized to the couple and tell their love story with a location that is special to them! These photos can be used for Save the Dates, Wedding Invitations, and for prints at the ceremony and reception! Getting Ready Photos10.2.21 Shankle WeddingPhotographer: Alyssa Dawn Photography - @alyssadawn_photography6.10.22 Gunnel Wedding Photographer: Create Joy Life Second Shooting for Fitz Photo and Film - @create.joy.life @fitzphotoandfilmGetting ready photos are so sweet and personal for your wedding day! Detail shots of Grandma, Mom, Sister, or a Bridesmaid helping get the dress buttoned up, helping put shoes on, and putting jewelry on are all sweet and personal shots to capture before you walk down the aisle! Having fun during hair and makeup with your Bridesmaids or pinning boutonnieres on the Groomsmen or Dad are also great shots to get at the beginning of the day! First Looks1.22.22 Banda WeddingPhotographer: Mae Rachelle Photography - @maerachellephotography4.30.22 Berry WeddingPhotography: Create Joy Life Second Shooting for BaileeStarrPhoto - @create.joy.life @baileestarrphoto7.4.21 Garcia WeddingPhotographer: Vanessa Martins – @vanessamartins.coFirst looks are essential! These can be captured before and/or during the ceremony! A first look with Dad, Bridesmaids, and the Groom are all great shots to capture! These are moments you and the special people in your life will never want to forget and the emotion of your wedding day will truly be captured and cherished in each photo! Individuals6.18.22 Jones WeddingPhotography: A Nomadic Love - @anomadiclove7.8.22 Smith WeddingPhotography: Melissa Hailey Photo - @melissahaileyphotoIndividuals are something you might not think of on your big day, but something that’s important to capture! You want pictures of you looking your best to look back on from this day (and so does your mom ;))! Individuals can be taken right after getting ready, before, or after photos with the wedding party! Be sure to include trends or fun props like Arin with her disco ball! Also, this is a great time for Brides to get individuals in case you didn’t take bridal shots! Creative & Fun Wedding Party Pics7.8.22 Smith WeddingPhotography: Melissa Hailey Photo - @melissahaileyphoto12.10.21 Cho WeddingPhotographer: Lindsay Davenport Photos - @lindsaydavenportphotosCreative and fun photos with the wedding party are a MUST to capture a memory of all of the Bride and Groom’s best friends! Walking photos with the Bride and Groom are always a win or a clustered cheering photo surrounding the lovebirds shows genuine excitement from everyone! Incorporating trends such as black and white blurry photos, backlight, and mixing up the Bridesmaids and Groomsmen, are all great shots to capture during this time before or after the ceremony! Be sure to trust your photographer as they are the professional and let them show off some of their creativity by directing your bridal party in unique and fun shots! Champagne Tower6.10.22 Gunnel Wedding Photographer: Create Joy Life Second Shooting for Fitz Photo & Film - @create.joy.life @fitzphotoandfilmChampagne towers are on trend for 2022-2023 Brides! Stylized flash photography and an elegant but trendy look is such a fun addition to your day! The best time to take these photos are before or after your reception entrance! This “get the party started” vibe is a unique transition to capture and look back on! Bridesmaids and Groomsmen can also surround you for these shots and then join in by taking a glass! Veil Pics7.4.21 Garcia WeddingPhotographer: Vanessa Martins – @vanessamartins.co1.22.22 Banda WeddingPhotographer: Mae Rachelle Photography - @maerachellephotography12.10.21 Cho WeddingPhotographer: Lindsay Davenport Photos - @lindsaydavenportphotosWork that veil! Dreamy veil sunset photos are a stunning classic that are nearly guaranteed to be a crowd favorite. Placing the veil over the Bride and Groom’s heads using it for depth in shots are creative photos that are a must! You will get a sweet moment with not only your future spouse, but your new found bestie photographer! ;) Golden Hour6.18.22 Jones WeddingPhotography: A Nomadic Love - @anomadicloveSunspots and golden hour pics are beautiful things to ask your photographer for during your sneak away photos as well! Look how dreamy this shot is, there is not much more to say. Post Reception Sneak Away4.30.22 Berry WeddingPhotography: BaileeStarrPhoto - @baileestarrphotoSneak away with your loved one at the end of the night to get some romantic shots of just the two of you. Flash photography will be used for your reception and it’s fun to carry it into a moment with just the two of you and your photographer at the end of the night! Sneaking away to a unique, secluded part of your venue, or elevator are trending to capture this private moment! Getaway Car6.18.22 Jones WeddingPhotography: A Nomadic Love - @anomadiclove5.27.22 Redd WeddingPhotography: Create Joy Life Second Shooting for Fitz Photo and Film - @create.joy.life @fitzphotoandfilmHaving a getaway car with style to match the vibe of your reception is OH SO FUN!
