Pretty As A Picture - Creative Wedding Photo Ideas
If a picture paints a thousand words -- and it does -- then you'll want to make sure you have a photography plan to capture this incredible day you've planned.

The average bride and groom spend approximately twelve months planning an event that will last four hours -- or, as so many brides and grooms claim afterwards, one that is over in the blink of an eye. Quite often the bride and groom are so busy that they don't get to savor their hard planned details. Well, in the wedding photos you get to do exactly that. You get to relive the moment as often as you like for the rest of your life.

Creative Wedding Photo Ideas
  • On the guest book table, set around the room, or mounted on the wall, display a few photos of the bride and groom from birth to marriage. You might also include the wedding pictures of both yours and your fiance's parents.
  • Have Polaroid pictures taken of each guest alone, or with the bride and groom, to give as a favor.
  • Place a disposable camera on each table. Ask the guests to take pictures during the reception. It will not only be entertaining, but you'll get a lot of great candid shots. Remember to arrange for someone to collect all the cameras at the end of the reception.
  • Keep a camera with you throughout your planning and create a pre-wedding album. Capture the following moments: buying your rings, trying on dresses for yourself and the bridesmaids, addressing and mailing invitations, showers, a picture of getting your marriage license. Remember the fun of planning your wedding.
  • Order extra pictures for special friends.
  • Don't forget your honeymoon photo album. Be sure to pack your camera.
  • Have a friend take Polaroid pictures of your wedding day. You can take the pictures along on the honeymoon.
  • Make sure you don't have suntan lines, or that your face doesn't get sunburned. A red face won't look attractive in the pictures.
