One of the most important parts of your big day is capturing all those special little moments, so you can always look back on your big day in detail. While many photographers will already know some of these moments worth capturing, giving them a list can help guarantee you get a good shot of each.
Here are some of the best moments to capture:
Rehearsal Dinner – The rehearsal dinner is always a great memory to have, since many times it’s your family and closest friends all in one place. Your rehearsal dinner is the night to enjoy close family and friends without being torn in a hundred directions visiting friends and family you may not see often. It’s definitely one memory you’ll want to have.
Heirlooms – The morning of your wedding day can be extremely sentimental, and many times the mother or father of the bride will want to give you a special heirloom or “something borrowed” that means a lot to them.
The Dress – Any bride will tell you, the dress is one of the most important pieces to the wedding puzzle. Many brides get caught up with wedding details on the morning of the wedding and can forget to capture a picture of their dress and shoes. Most photographers are now recommending it, and will come early to capture these moments, as well as the girls getting ready.
The Flower Girl and Ring Bearer – Many brides enjoy taking pictures with their flower girl and ring bearer, since it represents a number of things to different people. For some brides, they want to show their maternal side or have a close relationship with the children, and for others it’s just a nice contrast to show the stages in life and the innocence of the children.
The Toasts – Another sentimental memory that you won’t want to miss is the Maid of Honor and Best Man’s speeches. Make sure your photographer is front and center for not only the speaker, but for the reaction on the bride and groom’s faces, since some speeches will elicit tears, smiles and sometimes even bursts of laughter.
Wedding Favors – In the wedding day chaos, it can be easy to forget to grab yourself a wedding favor to keep as a reminder. While you want to make sure each guest gets their favors first, it’s nice to have a simple reminder. Some photographers will take an elegant picture of an empty table with the flowers, place settings and favors in place. Others will take pictures of the guests showing off their new prize. Either way, it’s a nice keepsake, and is one of the best ways to help you remember the atmosphere and feel of the reception.
