Wedding Photos: Props

Wedding Photos: Props

Does anyone remember Drew Carrey’s show Whose Line is it Anyway? I seldom watch TV, but it was one of my favorite shows in college. My favorite segment? Props! Go check it out on YouTube.

Props seem to be pretty popular for wedding photos nowadays…

The classic balloon with the guy jumping up in the air like he’s flying and the girl holding him down… the happy couple on bicycles… the shoe shot from the waist down. For our engagement photos, we didn’t really plan to use any props. We brought a change of clothes and picked two awesome locations for our photos. I think it turned out pretty well since our backgrounds were interesting enough.

However, ever since our engagement photos, I’ve been thinking about having props for our wedding day photos.

I love these photos since we may be using green apples in our decor. I don’t want to pick them up off the floor afterwards, though. I’m thinking about assigning that duty to someone else.

I am totally going to buy new sunglasses.

Mr. Lace and I have to alternate the type of soda we buy because he’s a Pepsi guy and I’m a Coke girl. We’re totally doing this one.

I love this one because I LOVE rain and I have a green and white striped umbrella that I can envision in this photo. Unfortunately, our wedding is in June and although I don’t wish rain upon my own wedding, I DO love this. How about the silhouette of us through the umbrella in the sun?!

Are you going to use props in your engagement or wedding photos?

I love the apples and coke/pepsi idea. That’s hilarious… the cola duo! I have been thinking about cutting out some paper hearts to use in our wedding pictures.

Aww! I love Whose Line too and yes the Props segment was always great.

Well, I’m not sure we’ll get to do e-photos, but if we do or whatnot…..maybe I would.

Cute ideas!

Girrl I am the queen of props! I don’t know what I would have done without them for our Ephotos. Sunflowers, balloons, a classic car and gas station :). I love the coke/pepsi idea too. Apples=amazing!

Awww! I love the use of props in wedding photography. It’s unexpected and fun with the elegance of wedding garb in the background.

I’m from Atlanta, so Coke is the only option for me. Anyone around these parts drinking Pepsi is a yankee. ;o)

I want to use props in our e-photos to add some visual interest besides just us! I think we are going to use some small flags since I am American and the FI is Swedish.
