This day only comes around once, hopefully. It is a milestone moment to take and preserve fantastic, emotional, and fun wedding photos. Preserving memories from your wedding day is majorly important.

You dream of this day since a little girl. Your wedding day can be over in a few hours, but the photography, videos, and mementos from your wedding day you will treasure for a lifetime. The enduring keepsakes help you reminisce on your anniversaries. It is a once-in-a-lifetime occasion. That is why it is important for the people who will photograph and videotape your wedding be people you can trust.

New Trends in Wedding Photography

I find that the wonderful world of Pinterest offers so many wedding photo ideas. Save as many wedding poses as you can from ideas online, and give the suggestions to your photographer. This will help them get a jump start as to what you want to see with your own photos. Also, when you plan all the photos you want to take, it can help you plan timing it will take to do all of them, so you know how much extra time you will need to have activities for your guests planned so they do not get bored waiting on the happy couple to finish their photos.

Great Wedding Photography Ideas Include:

• Documentary style approach, in which the photographer basically takes pictures of everything from beginning to end. It will be like a news story in the end of your hour by hour poses of emotions.
• Black and White photos to gain the artistic and classy look of your wedding day.
• Special effects photos, like soft focus images.
• Disposable cameras are a great idea to put on everyone’s place setting for the real candid photos too.
