Wedding Photography Ideas – Thinking Outside of the Norm

As a bride, it is typical for you to want everything to be perfect on your wedding day. In reality, the bride will stress over every little detail for her wedding day no matter how minuscule the detail is. However, rarely does the bride spend much time on thinking about wedding photography ideas. This is a task that is generally left up to the photographer.


If you are looking for ways to make your wedding photos really leave their mark, you should consider thinking of your own wedding photography ideas. Ones that are not considered to be typical. Here are some great examples of poses and of opportunities you could ask your photographer to take advantage of.

  1. A close up photo of the bride’s shoes.
  2. A photograph of the ring bearer looking intently at the groom holding on to every last instruction as though the entire wedding depends solely on the ring bearer.
  3. A photograph of the groom and groomsmen outside of the church being “The Boys” one last time.
  4. A sentimental picture of the father of the bride pushing a random hair off of the bride’s face.
  5. A picture of the bride and the groom outside after the wedding stealing a little alone time with each other.
  6. A photo of the family pet looking up at the bride in all of her glorious beauty.

The possibilities for unique wedding photography ideas are virtually endless. You can be as creative as you want to be with your ideas. These poses can look natural and unplanned or you can go with the traditional style posed pictures.

But still have a different take on the pictures. Discuss your thoughts and ideas with the photographer this way he or she can get a feel for what you want. Once he or she has the basic feel for what you are looking for he or she will be able to take advantage of candid photos that follow your basic feel for your special day.

The clearer you are with your photographer the easier it will be for him or her to capture photos the way you want them. Feel free to write down some ideas throughout the day as you think of them and then relay them to your photographer as “must have” photographs.

Once you start thinking of your own wedding photography ideas you will be amazed at how many you think of. You can also take notes from your stash of bridal magazines, too!

People are timid when it comes to trying new things on their cameras. Why is this true? Come on People. Get your fanny off Auto! Here is a brief rundown of the settings that are common to most digital cameras, both point and shoot and digital SLR. Basic Camera Modes –  these are the ones that will set your camera up for success. You set it, the camera does the rest. The reason they are called Basic Modes? When you choose one of these modes, you are giving the digital camera “Carte Blanche” to do what it does best. You don’t have any more control over the settings. You can’t choose the ISO, the White Balance, the Picture Quality (you CAN set the picture size). All you get to do after selecting a Basic Mode is to press the shutter button. Full Automatic Mode: –  This is the one most camera owners use, whether ...
