Take time just before entering the altar for a photograph. You can focus on the details and beyond the traditional pose with the father of the bride, the idea is to make it as natural as possible The mother of the groom, on the other hand, can be shown fixing the tail of her daughter's lace wedding dress, for example, while the mother of the groom can be shown fixing her son's tie.

2. In a group

These photos will reflect all the love and affection The idea is to photograph a lot of close-up detail, but also to take pictures of the images of spontaneous glances of the family during the ceremony that will highlight the gestures and expressions that sometimes go unnoticed.

Family is very important, so having candid photographs with them is a treasure. Just be original; for example, taking advantage of elements of the wedding decorations or a particular moment like when you break the wedding cake and surprise your closest ones with a first tasting or toasting together.
