Marriage and Engagement Photo Ideas

By Brad Dykstra


When it comes to having a wedding or engagement portrait photos taken, it is typically vital to couples to have their personality show thru as much as feasible. One of the best tactics to do that is by employing props.

There are a growing number of photographers encouraging brides to use any many fun props as possible to enhance their wedding photography. It can actually add something special to a wedding album to have a mixture of standard pictures, candid shots and quirky portraits featuring props. However , infrequently being asked to bring a prop can strike fear into the brides heart. They stress about what makes an excellent prop and what is taking things a step to far. The best thing to do in this situation is to offer a catalogue of suggestions and encourage her to bring 1 or 2 options to increase the likelihood of many of them being appropriate.

Any item which has particular soft price can make a fabulous prop, especially if the item belongs to a friend who cannot be with the couple on the day. Props in relation to shared pastimes, likes, dislikes and individual personalities can also make amazing props. Something that appears completely out of place at the wedding can also create a very dramatic image.

It can also be a great idea to incorporate props which reflect the them and kind of the wedding day. One of the hottest trends today is a vintage theme. The vintage theme really adapts well to choosing appropriate props. Some suggested items to consider include: masquerade masks, antique furniture, old bikes, antique mirrors, fans and parasols.

One idea that is also becoming increasingly popular at weddings as a form of entertainment is to set up a 'photo booth'. This may easily be done by providing a second cameraman fitted out with a background and a range of fun and kooky props "think hats, feather boas, toy guns or wigs. This is a good way to amuse guests while the couple are having their formal pictures shot.
