Wedding Inspirations | Quiet Highlights of a Wedding

3024 views since February 19, 2017

In this post, we would like to address the often neglected but equally important, in our opinion, parts of the wedding day - the quiet highlights of a wedding.

When does the wedding day actually start? When you look at most wedding albums, it appears that the day starts with the perfectly styled bridal couple and ends in the church. The reality is completely different and everyone who has personally experienced it would agree with us: the really exceptional moments don't happen at the time when the date is set. This is why we, as wedding photographers, accompany our couples throughout the day, because for us it starts with the first preparations - the 'Getting ready'. For the bride, this means meeting with her friends or family, the maid of honor and finally with the bridesmaids. The nervousness of the moment is shared, perhaps sip on some Champagne and then make-up and hair can begin. The men don't require as much time with styling, but the suit and all the accessories can also be included. A last game of poker as a bachelor with friends, a glass of whiskey and then it is time for the first meeting.

Seeing each other for the first time - the 'First Look' - is, in Europe in our opinion, a much too often neglected but unique moment. Take time to see each other before the wedding, have time for each other, admire each other, say 'I love you' one more time and share in the nervousness with your loved one. Before the altar, there is no time for pleasantries, no time to exchange in-depth glances and then the program quickly continues with congratulations and so on, then this moment is permanently lost.

Enjoy the couple's shooting! Take time for each other as it is the only phase in the day when you can actually dedicate yourselves to each other. After that, you will be in the spotlight and there is nothing wrong with that as it is the reason for the celebration, but a little time to enjoy being husband and wife for the first time alone, even with your photographer present, is simply wonderful.

The coverage of the events between the fixed points of the wedding day is just as important for us. The joy of the guests, the beautiful outfits, the decorations in the church, the ballroom, the laughing and crying - what would a wedding day be without these emotional moments?

So allow yourself the luxury to have a professional photographer capture these additional memories for eternity. You will see that the wedding day races by and you can't be everywhere at once. When you look at your wedding photos, you will discover lots that happened that otherwise would not have been captured.
