1. Photo to the alliances

It is a capture that you must have in your wedding album, and there are many original proposals to photograph your wedding rings. For example, you can place them on the heel of one of the bride's shoes or photograph them on the veil.

You can also place your rings on your pet's nose, or mount them on a tree branch, flower petals or a tree trunk.

Another idea is to immortalize them on the wedding ring holder, but taking the photo in the reflection of a mirror. And what about your rings perched on the wedding ringbinder? Whatever the composition, you will get very beautiful postcards.

2. Photo to the bridal bouquet

The bouquet of flowers will be the protagonist of the day and, as such, deserves photographs for it alone. For example, you can place it on a bed next to the rest of the elements that make up the bride's trousseau. Or, perhaps, next to the bridal glasses, for a more glamorous capture.

But if you prefer an outdoor photo, ask your photographer to place it on the grass, sand or a staircase, depending on where you are and blur the background. You can also place the bouquet on a sofa, on the hood of the wedding car or on a vintage piece of furniture, among other ideas.

3. Photos of the bride and groom's outfits

The images of your wedding dresses are a must in your wedding album. For the wedding dress, an infallible one is to photograph it hanging next to a window, letting in a little light.

Or, in a more rustic style, it will look equally beautiful if you hang it from a tree. But accessories, such as shoes, jewellery and headdress, should also be portrayed.

In the case of the groom's suit, you can spread it out on a bed, with all the accessories in sight, among them, the waistcoat, the belt, the collars and the boutonniere. Or another option is to get a mannequin where you can display the attire in its splendor.

4. Photos of the bridesmaids

L he photos of the bridesmaids, in their matching dresses, are a classic that should definitely be in your wedding album. You can have them all toss their bouquets in the air, pose telling a secret, sporting their colorful umbrellas or prancing around, to capture a fun moving picture. You can also have them dancing on the dance floor drenched in cotillion.

5. Photos to the best men

Best friends will also make for some lovely postcards. And take advantage of your harmonious outfits to take original shots. For example, if you're dressed alike, but with different colored socks, get the shot right on your shoes.

Or you can photograph them walking or on different steps of a staircase, with their jackets slung over their shoulders. But if there's another photo you can't miss, it's the one of the best men sharing a beer or having a shot of liquor all at the same time.

6. Photos to your loved ones

There will be different moments during the celebration where you will be able to immortalize your parents, siblings or other family members, and without a doubt one of the most exciting moments will be during the speeches.

It is likely that your closest relatives, leaving aside their nervousness or shyness, will want to dedicate a few words and toast in your favor. It will be one of the moments that they will like to relive through the images. And also, those moments when your guests laugh out loud, shed a tear or delight in the snacks of the wedding banquet.

7. Photos to table decoration

The set-up of the tables is one of the items that requires special attention, as it implies that there is harmony between the table linen, tableware, glassware, centerpieces, table markers, minutes and place cards. As a result you will get fabulous tables and, therefore, you can not fail to immortalize them. Ideally, you should photograph them before thediners get to their stations so that they look impeccable.

8. Photos to the theme corners

The candy bar, the photocall, the beer bar, the beauty corner, the signature book corner or any other thematic space that you include in your wedding, must be photographed. Since you will have a special set up and decoration, make sure that you don't miss any detail.

But other elements of the setting, such as message boards, signage, XL letters, floral arches or garlands of lights, should also be captured under the lens.

9. Photo to the cake

Another essential photo! Whether it's one or several levels; classic, naked, dripped or watercolor style, the wedding cake will steal all the attention at the wedding. Therefore, make sure the photographer captures it from different angles and also takes a close-up of the cake topper, whether it's the traditional figure of the bride and groom, a couple of little animals or some othercustom design.

10. Photo of the bridal vehicle

Finally, the car that will transport you during the wedding should also be eternalized, especially if you will be renting a particular one, such as a minivan, a minivan, a carriage or a convertible.

But if that's not the case, you can still decorate your vehicle with flowers, ribbons, banners, cans or the classic "just married" on the license plate, among other ideas you can come up with.

Since the photos will be the most precious treasure of your big day, choose your provider carefully, regardless of whether it will be a single professional or a team, because only through the images you will be able to relive and remember every detail of your wedding.
