As it can be overwhelming to think of ALL the photos you may want to take on your wedding day we put together a little list of ideas to help! The following photo ideas are organized by the various moments of your day and will hopefully help you capture all of these special moments on your special day! 

Getting Ready 

Pictures taken during this portion of the day will capture all the excitement of the couple’s pre-wedding jitters and some behind the scene moments of preparing for the day! A few pictures that can be taken during this time include: 

Detail Shots

Make sure to bring items such as your wedding stationery (save the dates, invitations, etc) as well as any other wedding related items you would like photographed! 

Hair & Make-up touch ups 

These glamor behind the scenes shots with your hair & make-up artist, show the process it takes to become a bride! 

Wedding party 

Posed and candid photos of your wedding party helping you get ready is a sweet shot that represents all that they do for you! 

Pre-Ceremony 

If you’re planning to see each other prior to the ceremony then you may be doing a first look! Along with this photo opp you can consider adding the following to your list of desired photos! 

Father/Daughter First Look

Such a sweet moment between dad and daughter before they walk down the aisle together! 

Wedding Party Photos 

So many combinations can be done with your wedding party! Bride and her bridesmaids, groom and his groomsmen, everyone together, and even the bride and the groomsmen and groom and the bridesmaids make for fun photos! 

Bride & Groom Portraits 

Taking these photos before your wedding is a way to allow you to have more time to enjoy cocktail hour or to take other photos at that time! It’s also an opportunity to have an intimate moment with your spouse prior to your ceremony and to take photos with your makeup before the tears and weather may affect it!

Post-Ceremony 

After officially tying the knot in front of your family & friends there are a few photos that you can take prior to your reception! 

Group Photo 

A perfect time to capture a photo of all of your guests is right after the ceremony, your coordinator and photographer can gather everyone together for one amazing shot! 

Family Portraits 

Having a specific list of the family combinations of photos that you want captured with your family members will help this photo taking time go by smoothly! 

Beach/Sunset Photos

Depending on the time of the sunset on your wedding day this may be something that you can capture prior to your reception! If not, beach photos still make for the most dreamy Hawaii wedding shots! 

Reception 

During your reception, the majority of your photos will most likely be candid photos that capture all of the festivities happening in the ballroom. However one planned photo idea that you can do to capture pictures with each of your guests, are table shots! 

Table shots 

Guests can take a photo with the bride and groom at the dance floor during the dinner portion of the reception. 

These are just a few photos that you could include on your wedding to capture your picture perfect day! :-)
