Weddings are serious business. They symbolize the start of your new life journey and, when possible, your marriage will last for the remainder of your days together on earth. With that in mind, that doesn't mean you can't have fun on your wedding day. However serious the subject matter, it should also be a day that you remember being an absolute blast.
Your wedding photography should cover all the basics of the wedding, but it should also get those moments of silliness so you can look back and remember how awesome your wedding day truly was.
If you or your wedding party has an idea for a fun photo then you should feel free to express your idea to the photographer. If the photographer has an idea for an interesting photo then go with the flow and see what happens.
Your wedding day isn't just about getting dressed up to say your vows. It's about sharing in the joy of your special day with those you love and cherrish. Every bride and groom have their own sense of humor and it should be reflected in their photography. Perhaps you have a special thing you like to do in your photos together at home or on trips...why not include that in your wedding photography? Several years ago it became popular to have the groomsmen hold the bride in the air. I had a wedding where the bridesmaids did a twist on that idea and they held the groom. It doesn't matter what the idea is...as long as you are having fun. |
As stressful as a wedding day can be, you need to make sure that you fill it with moments of fun and not just at the reception when you arne't worried about the ceremony anymore and you can dance the night away. The last thing a person wants is to look back on their wedding day and think it was just so stressful. Your wedding day should be a joyful celebration, with moments of stress, that were outshined by laughter and merriment.
