Wedding Photo MUSTS!

Photography Love
Today we are going to talk about what wedding moments we think are SO IMPORTANT to document through a photo. 

You don't want to forget anything from your special day, but it's always good to keep a memory safe in a photo just in case :) 


Here are some of the top shots we think you should make sure you tell your photographer to get!

The famous Father-Daughter reveal
Some think the husband seeing the wife for the first time is the only "reveal" photo to take. We disagree. Fathers have just as wonderful of a look on their face, and are usually more emotional. 
Capture the moment that shows you just how much he truly loves you.



 The First Look
If you and your man decide to do a first-look before the wedding you gotta get a photo of this. We have seen so many cute first look shots like this!

You can use a blind fold or do a "sneaking" up on him shot.


If you wait until the walk down the isle to meet, make sure you get a photo of your man's first look. 
We can bet it's absolutely adorable.
 
These are so precious. <3

The Mother-Daughter Shot
Don't forget your mother. This photo is really not taken enough. Mothers are such an important part of their daughters' lives and this photo can really show your bond.


The Veil 
Women love to get images of their outfits and hair, but we feel the veil shot is under utilized! Veils complete a wedding outfit, and can create a really creatively beautiful photo. Like this...


Pick Her Up!
Make your day super romantic. Pick up your bride ladies and sweep her off her feet- literally! 
These photos are so cute and can really show the love between a couple. 


 This is adorable.

Walking off into the sunset.

Your Girls!
These women were chosen to be woven into your special day between you and your man. 
Take a few unique photos of all the girls - getting ready, laughing, jumping, etc. Show off your fun friends you love so much.

 And do it with the groomsmen. Especially if you have a few who are your brother or like a brother to you.
The MOH
 Then make sure you get a One-on-One shot with your leading lady.


Have fun with it and be yourselves. Those make the best photos.



 THE FIRST KISS.
Please don't forget this. This is one of the most important moments that seals your love.

Nature Themes

There are so many weddings that are nature themed once spring starts.  We have pooled together a bunch of  neat ideas that can help bring out your natural side! 

We noticed that not only does any color theme go with wood pieces, but that in using little branches or tree trunks in your decor you can keep your budget low. Check out some of these DIY pieces:

To make these you use a drill or carve out the middle and simply add some flowers!



 The side piece is also unique. If you want something to lighten up the colors you could use birch wood!


Now, for some mood lighting. Try sticking a candle in the wood chunks as opposed to flowers.

 With bigger wood slabs, you can use them for "stools". We've notice these are really awesome conversational pieces!


Staying on the same theme.. here are some thinner slabs of wood that can be stained or painted to fit the theme of your special day.

This is a great idea for a guest book or quotes! You can put it in your home to remember all those who celebrated your special day with you!


You can also use the pieces of wood as a platform for the center pieces. 


You can also use smaller ones for guest placement cards or gifts.



Now onto cakes!!!!
