Must-Have Wedding Pictures

Every moment of your Wedding day is special and you want to remember them all, but here are some moments you Must-Have pictures taken of. These are the simple moments in time where you will show your grandkids how special your Wedding day was.

The "Reveal"
Whether you are meeting up for photos before the service or you are not seeing each other until the Church, this is a classic picture you will regret not having.

Reception Tables: Pre-Party

This will show people all the work you have put into deciding and choosing a color scheme, it will showcase the table Centerpieces and it will do so in an untouched, perfect state before your guests start messing it up.

The Group Shot
Whether walking back from the beach or exiting the church, you should try to get a picture of the entire Wedding Congregation. This is a spectacular shot showing off all the people whom love you.

Hanging Gown
Having a picture of the Wedding Gown prior to your appearance in it will be memorable. It is hanging in the Window with the new day shining on it. It is perfect and untouched. This picture will justify whatever you spent on it.
