WHY COUPLE PHOTOS ARE SO IMPORTANT ON YOUR WEDDING

While planning your special day, soon enough, you will get to the point of needing to hire a wedding photographer. This is a very important step in the planning process since the photographer will be the one who is in charge of capturing all of the lovely memories. However, since it is your day, you need to remember that it is your special day. So, let’s look at the importance of wedding day couple photos together!

What are couple portraits and bridal portraits?

If you are wondering what couple and bridal portraits are, it is is as simple as it sounds – they are pictures that your photographer takes, and it is just the two of you. You can relax, take a breath, show each other some affection, do something unusual or fun, or anything that portrays you as a couple. The wedding day couple photos are a great way to give a bit of time to be yourselves and enjoy the moment! Whether it is outdoors, sunset time, or even an indoors in a beautiful building, they are something that you will want to make sure you do.

Why are they so important?

The idea of the couple and bridal portraits are those lovely moments where there is only you and your partner in front of a photograph. There are many events that gradually unfold as the day passes, like the morning preparations, ceremony, the wedding reception, the party, cutting of the cake, meeting and greeting guests, and so on. It almost feels like it passes in a heartbeat as the timeline is tight. But don’t worry, you will be still able to make those lovely wedding portraits. The vision is that no matter the style, they are going to portray a moment of intimacy amid all those candid and joyful pictures the photographer would get throughout the day. This shoot is very important as it allows you to savour your special moments in peace and privacy. In essence, it allows you to take a breather and let the realisation of the day sink in. After all, the wedding day couple photos will serve as a reminder that you were the stars of the evening, shining with love and happiness!

When can you take them?

Talk to your wedding photographer about when and where you want to have the couple and bridal portraits. Remember that you can have them done at any time with good planning. As a wedding photographer, I get inquiries about the portraits frequently, and I can say with confidence that all you need is about 20-30 minutes of alone time with the photographer and enough time to get to the location that you want and get back to the venue. If the location and the wedding venue are the same which they most often are, you can get back to your guests very quickly to enjoy time with them.

Couple photos or portraits on your wedding are an absolute must. They will not only remind you of the most perfect day in your life, but they will also ways bring back the feelings and the love you had for your day. So be sure to chat with your photographer ahead of your wedding to make sure you are on the same page.
