10 Photos You Absolutely Need to Take with Your Wedding Party

Naturally, the bridal pair is always the center of attention in terms of photos, but there are so many memories to make with your bridal party too.

To ensure you also get to remember the moments you spent with the people who mean the most to you, here are some photos idea to include on your shot list.

1.       The Doting Bridesmaids

Capture some heartfelt moments with your bridesmaids by having them stand around you. Share a funny joke, have them all smile at you, or simply engage with each other for the perfect candid shot.

2.       Make It Symmetrical

Whether you order your bridesmaid from tallest in the middle to shortest on the ends or arrange them according to the color of their dresses, symmetrical shots make for an eye-catching addition to your wedding album. You can even alternate the bridesmaids and groomsmen for a fun, symmetrical shot.

3.       The Sweet Kiss

Have your partner steal a sweet kiss while your bridal party stands in the background. In this shot, the couple is in focus, with the people they love the most making up the background.

4.       A Birds-Eye View

Take a few shots from a completely different perspective to change things up in your album. Taking a birds-eye shot of the bridal party captures both the people and the scenery, giving your photos an element of artistry.

5.       On the Move

However your bridal party is getting to the ceremony, get your photographer to capture this in-transit moment. This photo highlights the flow of the day and the emotion surrounding the all-important ceremony.

6.       The Glance

Another creative way to bring your bridal party into the shot is to position your bridesmaids or groomsmen behind you, while you peek over your shoulder. You can even have them walking away and have both you and your partner look back on them.

7.       Walking Ahead

Another option is to have the bridal party walking a few paces behind you and your partner, which brings movement and elegance into the photo. Have everyone talking and laughing for a more natural shot.

8.       Straight Out of Vogue

Depending on your chosen photography style, you may also want an editorial shot. This involves your bridal party sitting or standing for a more formal pose, with you and your partner at the center. Ask your photographer for guidance on how you should all pose to give it more of an editorial feel.

9.       The Altar

You simply have to capture photos of your bridal party at the alter as they share in this exciting and special moment with you.

     10.       The Exit

Finally, don’t forget to capture the faces of your bridal party as they exit the ceremony. This is such a joyous and natural shot that highlights just how everyone is feeling after two special people committed to each other.

These are some of our all-time favorite bridal party photos. Speak to your photographer if you need some additional inspiration or turn to Pinterest for more ideas that fit in with your preferred photography style.
