7 Wedding party photos to expect from your Wedding Photographer

WEDDING PARTY PHOTOGRAPHY

Let’s be honest, whilst the wedding ceremony is the main event, and the wedding reception is great fun full of different elements it’s the wedding party that follows is the moment with the most fun!

I’ll expect you to be throwing some shapes, raving like you’ve never raved before and generally having the time of your life. But first! Let’s cut the cake and throw your bouquet so you can have your first dance together as a married couple.

I capture the party with a lot of creativity, similar to the events that I shoot, I use shutter drag photography to make the party look even more fun in photos.

Wedding Cake

Wedding cakes are bloody expensive these days, but for good reason, it’s generally a big deal to get some awesome shots of the cake, I cant capture the taste, but hopefully some good images of the cake will bring back those memories to you!

Whether you go traditional 3-tier white icing, or something different. Ill make sure we get some awesome photos of it!

Wedding Evening Entrance

Depending on the structure of your day, you might take some Golden Hour couple photos with me, or maybe get changed into traditional dress like Parna and Antonia did at their weddings.

But be sure once your additional evening guests have arrived they are all excited to see you walz into the room.

Wedding Cake Cutting

The cake-cutting moment is enjoyed by everyone. Generally, because we are all craving a sugar fix! Photos of this moment are a prerequisite and they can be really fun moments when brides love to smash a slice of cake into their partner’s face and have a great laugh!

This is my favourite moment of the wedding because it means I can finally eat the 10 slices of cake that I’ve been eyeing up the whole of the wedding reception.

ps... i might steal cake

BOUQUET THROWING

It’s a tradition at a wedding for the bride to throw her bouquet, it’s done a lot less these days, but if it’s something you would like to do it gives a great opportunity for wedding party photos. The idea is that the lucky lady to catch the bouquet will be the next one to get married.

I’ve seen some fights to be the one to catch the falling floristry, and I’ve seen the flowers fall to the ground as no one is able to catch them, again it’s all laughter and smiles which are fantastic photos.

FIRST DANCE

You have likely been practising, but if you haven’t that’s ok! All eyes are upon you as you take to the dance floor together. As a wedding party photographer, It’s my job to make sure that regardless of your dance skills you look awesome in the wedding party photos.

First dances offer a few minutes to gather pictures of your pure love together, it’s often in an opportunity to capture the guests watching you as you strut your stuff.

PARTY TIME

Let your hair down, and enjoy the party, the hard parts of your wedding day are over and now you can just chill with your mates. Whether you have a Dj, a live band or something different, we will be there to gather photos of the entertainment, but most importantly capture you and your mates throwing some shapes. Look out for me swirling my camera around creating some awesome shutter drag images.

GOOD BYE PHOTOS

Whilst leaving for your honeymoon at the end of the wedding party is less common these days, a fun goodbye photo opportunity has become really popular. At the end of the night, you might get your guests together in a line with sparkers, or glow sticks. Maybe you have a fireworks display or something else, it’s nice to have some creative shots taken at night with your guests as a final photo of the day.
