You know that you have picked a professional photographer if she asks you to send her examples of the kind of photos you would like to see- it shows that she has her head in the game and that she is ready to give you the beautiful shots that you want!

So while you are putting together your mood board on the kind of wedding photography you like, make sure you include the different angles of your designer wedding dress that you would like to capture. Do you want a close-up of the bodice and your perfume together, or are you more excited to see shots of the full length hanging on the antique cupboard? Do both of them- do all of them!

There is a lot of opportunity for creativity in wedding dress photography. You will definitely have close-ups, full lengths and colour effects, but, from a designer perspective, these are 3 important shots that you must not forget about! Simply because, this is the way designers photograph and showcase their dresses so that every detail of beauty is revealed.

Capture the veil

There is something so elegant about the right light catching the transparency of a beautiful veil. Make sure your photos bring out this soft side of your dress! 

The back alone

This angle is especially essential because it flaunts your hairstyle and holds an element of mystery to it. Get a shot in front of the mirror for double-up beauty!

Show your train

A strong part of a dress’s beauty lies in the design of the train. You have to grab this opportunity to show your train style off as much as possible! Especially considering it gets tied up or carried for you through most of your wedding- make sure you show it off in your photos as much as you can.
