Wedding Photography Ideas

Modern Wedding Posted: June 5, 2014

The days of posed wedding photos are long gone, with most couples opting for a more candid, natural feel when it comes to their wedding photography. Despite a desire for candidness, couples are increasingly falling in love with wedding photography ideas they've seen on Facebook, Pinterest, Tumblr or Instagram. These wedding photography ideas can be humorous, romantic or just downright beautiful. It is important to discuss your wedding photography ideas and must-have shots with your wedding photographer prior to the day. Your wedding photographer will probably have some wedding photography ideas that they can share with you too.

We collected some of our own favourite wedding photography ideas to share with you. These wedding photography ideas look good on every couple and bridal party, they add interest, ensure spontaneous giggle eruptions and create moments so beautiful immortalising them in a picture is a must!
