You know the drill: get pictures of the bride, ceremony, parents, and all of that. But in the hubbub around your big day, don’t skip these essential shots. Since 1985, Birkat Elyon has provided couples with gorgeous cubic zirconia engagement and wedding rings and has been around for more than a few weddings. So, here’s your checklist of seven don’t-miss wedding photos.
THE BEAUTY PREP
Yes, you want the final result after your hair and makeup people have worked their magic but get a few snaps of the process along the way. The same goes for the groom’s preparations and his end result.
ACCESSORIES
Get a pic of the “old/new/borrowed/blue” pieces, along with your earrings, shoes, and more. You’ve put a lot of thought into them, so arrange a shot with everything in it. PS: Birkat Elyon can help out with breathtaking CZ jewelry including earrings, necklaces, and more.
THE VEIL AND BOUQUET
Get a few shots of your veil from different angles. Then, get a shot of when you first see and hold your beautiful bouquet (you’re only going to hold it for a short time during the day).
YOUR FIRST KISS
The first kiss as a newly married couple is special. Make sure someone gets a shot of this beautiful moment (make sure the officiant is out of the shot).
YOUR TABLE DECORATIONS
You’ve spent so much time getting the plates, runners, centerpieces, and more just right. Before they’re mussed up during the reception, get shots from different angles of how beautiful your table settings look.
THE WHOLE WEDDING PARTY
These are some of your most favorite people in the world. Try to get at least one shot of everyone together so you can look back on it for years to come.
THE DEPARTURE
Whatever way you and your partner decide to leave the celebration, have someone capture that moment. Whether guests are blowing bubbles or waving sparklers as you leave, you’ll want to remember the send-off!
