Must Have Photos

Must Have Photos

I’ve been thinking about our must have photos for a LONG time. Actually, it all started with a post from Ms. Mascara featuring this picture:

Mr. Joey’s a teacher, and we’re getting married at the chapel at his school. We talked about doing a shot where the bridal party is in “class” and he’s teaching. I also thought about making a dunce cap so one of us could wear it and sit in the corner.

Then, Ms. Piglet posted about the ties and shoes shots, and I remembered we want those too—particularly since my shoes are nice and bright and we finally found some socks for Mr. Joey. I love this shot.

Besides the shots above, we were having a hard time coming up with a list images, when I came across a Real Simple must have photo checklist. Score!

It had all the basics, and a few more we hadn’t thought of. I went through the list and got rid of a few suggestions and then added my own. Since I have a costume change at the ceremony, I’d really love some shots of me trying to get into my sari. I’d also love a shot of the sari fabric.

If we have time after the ceremony, I’d love a huge group shot with all our guests at the chapel.

We’re still trying to come up with a few must have shots that are a little more interesting than the typical ones listed by Real Simple.

What are your must have shots?

This is perfect! It’s so hard to remember everything you want.

Um, no surprise here, but…food! We want to have one photographer working as everyone’s eating, so we’re hoping our two shooters agree to take their meal breaks separately.

I really hope for some great candid shots of people watching the ceremony. I want the laughs, the tears, the “Awh, here she comes!” HAHA I love those. I agree with your other shots and I’m going to check out the Real Simple list. Thanks for sharing Can’t wait to see your sari!!!

this is not related to your original posting but today i was browsing a photographer’s website when I saw a bride in a dress that looks like the same one you have chosen for your wedding. I know I always got excited to see how other brides wore “my” dress and the different accessories they chose, so I thought I’d pass it on.

for cute classroom pictures, my friend’s friend had a few really adorable ones, just if you wanted an extra idea or two?

After seeing the awesome group photo taken at the Seabreeze wedding in the DR I told my photographer I definately wanted a group shot and she assured me we would just work it into the schedule of the day (otherwise, people start to scatter and it can be difficult to accomplish). The group photo she took is one my most cherished photos from the day and it’s awesome to know I have a photo I can go back to to see the smiling faces of every single person that attendecd our wedding. Oh, and I also had a shoe photo a la Mrs. Coconut on my must have list

I’d love to do a group shot of everyone, but I’m not really sure how to accomplish this at our venue. That’s a fun idea though. I love the classroom one, what a fun way to incorporate the location/FH’s job into the wedding. We’re getting married at a lake so I thought one with our feet dangling in the water from a dock would look neat.

I definitely want a shoe shot as well. Other than that, I haven’t thought about this too much! I think I will probably leave it up to my photogs, for the most part.
