20 Wedding Day Moments (that we LOVE to capture) by Revival Photography
There are SO many things that happen on a wedding day. Some things are "common" or what one would expect to occur on a wedding day, and other things are completely unique to the couple and their guests, and completely impossible to "plan" for... that's why we always keep our eyes open, not only for the common wedding day happenings, but for those random, beautiful, unique, off-the-wall moments that you'd miss if you weren't prepared.
We don't work off of a photography checklist (although we do provide an inspiration check list to our clients so that we can get a preliminary and basic idea of what types of shots mean the most to them and how traditional or non-traditional they are, and we do use a shot list while we are doing family group portraits) and so it's super important that we keep our eyes open and our cameras ready. Here are 20 "wedding day moments" that we absolutely love to photograph...
1. the father 1st look
2. intimate family moments before the ceremony
3. the wedding day txt messages
4. the groomsmen having just a little too much fun :)
5. right before the bride walks down the aisle
6. the groom's face when he sees his beautiful bride
7. family reactions and moments during the wedding ceremony
8. the wedding guests celebrating and tossing (lavender, seeds, confetti, waving wands) as the bride + groom walk back down the aisle
9. shots that focus on the guests as the bride and groom walk down the aisle together (as well as the shots that focus on the bride and groom)
10. children playing/being silly/having fun at the wedding
11. shots of cherished details/heirlooms
12. details, details, details (because they help to tell the story of your day - the essence of your day...your character, things you love...and also because you've put a lot of time and thought into selecting these items for your wedding day)
13. guests interacting with each other during the reception
14. shot with all wedding guests
15. intimate moments between the bride + groom during the reception
16. candids during the reception as the bride and groom greet their guests
17. the groom dancing with the flowergirl
