Your wedding day will fly by faster than the champagne disappears, and once it’s over, photos are what you’ll have left to relive it all. But not every photo is created equal. Some shots are absolute must-haves, the ones you’ll frame, share, and treasure forever.
As an Adelaide wedding photographer who’s seen it all, here are the 10 wedding photos you’ll regret not getting.
1. The Getting Ready Moments
Those laughs with your bridal party, the nervous smiles, the details of your dress and accessories. These moments set the tone for your story, and they deserve to be captured.
2. The First Look (If You’re Doing One)
Whether it’s staged or a surprise, the first look is full of raw emotion. If you’re skipping it, no problem—but if you do it, make sure it’s documented.
3. The Ceremony Walk
You walking down the aisle and your partner’s reaction. Trust me, those two frames are priceless.
4. The First Kiss
Classic for a reason. That first kiss as a married couple is one you’ll want in your album and on your walls.
5. The Family Hug Pile
Right after the ceremony, when everyone’s rushing in to hug you, it’s pure chaos—and pure joy.
6. The Details You Spent Hours On
Table settings, flowers, stationery, and your dress hanging beautifully. These are the things you’ll want to remember because they disappear fast.
7. The Epic Couple Portrait
The hero shot. The one that makes you go “WOW.” Whether it’s at sunset, under fairy lights, or in front of your venue, it’s worth every second.
8. The Dance Floor Madness
Your mates tearing it up on the dance floor. Aunt Karen doing the worm. These moments are pure gold.
9. The Speeches Reaction Shots
Not just the speakers, but your reactions too. These are the moments that make your album feel alive.
10. The Sparkler Exit or Last Dance
If you’re doing an exit, this is the perfect closing chapter to your day. If not, a private last dance shot is just as magical.
Final Tip
A good photographer (hi, that’s me) knows how to capture these and more without pulling you away from the fun. Ready to tick all these off your list and get the photos you’ll love forever?
