Find the Right Photographer
Start by researching local photographers in your area. You can also take recommendations from online reviews, friends, family, or even wedding planners. Most photographers showcase their work through their website and social media pages. Looking through their online portfolios is the best way to get a sense of each photographer’s aesthetic, style, and skills.
Some photographers tend to capture traditional poses, while others do a great job in capturing candid moments. Choose a photographer whose style resonates with you and will be able to reflect the theme you want for your wedding album.
Practice Makes Perfect
Before the big day, spend some time practicing poses with your partner. This can help you feel more comfortable and gain confidence in front of the camera. Experimenting with different angles and poses is important to find what feels the most natural for you both!

Plan a Shot List
Express your preferences and planned poses that you have in mind with your photographer. Collaborate with your photographer to create a list of key moments for your wedding day.
This list should include the first look, saying “I Do”, first dance, cutting the cake, and more! This will help ensure that nothing important is overlooked. A skilled photographer will be able to guide and suggest poses, making sure you both look your best in every photo.

Be Candid
While the planned poses and portrait shots are important, remember to live in the moment. Some of the best photos come from candid or unplanned moments! Ask your photographer to capture expressions, laughter, and other moments that reflect the real emotions of the day that you can look back on.
When it comes to wedding photography, you should be able to feel the emotions of each photo for you to be able to relive for years to come.
