Marriage and Engagement Photo Ideas

By Brad Dykstra


When it comes to having a wedding or engagement portrait footage taken, it is often crucial to couples to have their personality show thru as much as practicable. One of the greatest ways to try this is by using props.

There are an increasing number of photographers encouraging brides to use any many fun props as practicable to enhance their wedding photography. It can really add something special to a wedding album to have a mixture of conventional photos, candid shots and strange portraits featuring props. But sometimes being asked to bring a prop can strike fear into the brides heart. They fret about what makes an excellent prop and what is taking things a step to far. The best thing to do in that particular situation is to offer a listing of recommendations and encourage her to bring a few options to increase the possibility of a few of them being suitable.

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 could also be a superb idea to include props which reflect the general them and type of the wedding day. One of the most popular trends today is a vintage theme. The vintage theme truly lends itself to selecting suitable props. Some advised items to think about include: masquerade masks, antique furniture, old bicycles, antique mirrors, fans and parasols.

One idea that's also becoming popular at weddings as a sort of entertainment is to line up a 'photo booth'. This could simply be done by providing a second photographer armed with a background and a variety of fun and quirky props "think hats, feather boas, toy guns or pieces. This is a great way to entertain guests while the couple are having their formal photographs shot.
