Read On For Fun Wedding Photography Ideas
Weddings have evolved, and so has wedding photography! Gone are the days of stiff, formal poses and forced smiles. Today, the most memorable photos are often the spontaneous, unposed moments that truly capture the joy of the day.
Don’t hesitate to share your fun wedding photography ideas with your photographer—we thrive on creativity and love bringing your unique vision to life. Whether it’s a quirky setup, a bold theme, or something entirely unexpected, we’re here to make it happen.
In this article, we’re excited to share our top tips for fun and creative wedding photography. And if you’re planning a surprise element for your big day, let us know in advance! Being prepared means we can capture every spontaneous, magical moment as it unfolds.
Confetti
Confetti offers endless possibilities beyond the classic post-ceremony toss. For a more dramatic touch, consider using confetti cannons or streamers! We often provide cannons to strategically placed guests—typically adults or well-supervised older children—to ensure a stunning and evenly distributed effect.
Keep in mind that many of these ideas depend on your venue's policies, so be sure to check with them beforehand to understand what’s permitted.
Bubbles
Bubbles are a fantastic, eco-friendly alternative to confetti, bringing a touch of whimsy and fun to your wedding photos. They're especially great for entertaining guests of all ages, adding a playful and magical element to your day.
We sometimes bring bubble wands to weddings, ensuring they're available whether for staged photos or simply to keep children happily engaged during what can be a long day for them.
Surprises
If you have any surprises planned for your big day, be sure to let us know! This way, we can be prepared to capture all the excitement as it unfolds.
Pets & Animals
If your venue allows, why not include your beloved fur babies in your special day? They’re an important part of your family and add a unique, heartwarming touch to your wedding.
Looking for something truly unforgettable? Consider venues like Great Lodge at Bardfield, where wedding parties can feed the resident alpacas, or Quendon Hall, where you can arrange to feed the deer in their picturesque parkland.
For an extraordinary twist, reach out to the team at Birds of Prey, Barleylands, and have one of their barn owls deliver your wedding rings—it’s a magical moment your guests will never forget!
Crystal Ball
A crystal ball is just one of the many unique props we bring along on a wedding day. While we don’t use it every time, it’s a fun addition that can enhance your experience and add a touch of creativity to your photos, offering something truly special and unique.
Venue and Props
You chose your venue for a reason, and we aim to make the most of it on your special day. We’re always exploring fresh perspectives and creative ideas to capture photos that are uniquely yours, setting them apart from those of other couples who have married there.
Most Importantly......Have Fun
While a wedding is a significant occasion with its share of meaningful moments, that doesn’t mean you can’t have fun too! Embrace spontaneity, laugh, and share joyful moments with your guests. Often, the best photos are the unplanned ones, capturing the story of your day in the most authentic and natural way.
