Wedding Night Photography

The newest trend we are seeing in wedding photography is night shots. It is currently the must have shot, that we love seeing all over Pinterest photography.  If you are having an outdoors ceremony, take advantage of those night photography options. Night wedding photos look incredible with string lights in background, sparklers or moonlight. One of our favorite looks is the flood light behind the couple! YES!

Here are 10 inspiration photos to convince you to ask your photographer to produce.  Check out under each photo the local photographer who captured the masterpiece here at The Wright House.

Photo List for Day of the Wedding

Perhaps one of the most important details about your wedding is the wedding photography. After all, these are pictures that will remind you of your special day for the rest of your life. So you only have one chance to make them great! The key to being successful in capturing these moments is speaking with your photographer about them before wedding day. The more you share about the vision of your day the better they will be able to capture it.

Today we want to show photos of a recent wedding and how Ashley Guice Photography captured the small details you will want to remember forever.

Day of Wedding Schedule

As you start your planning one thing you want to think about it is the schedule. Often brides start planning and then all of a sudden the catering staff needs to know what time dinner is and you have no clue what to tell them.  Today, we are going to help with sharing a mock schedule for the “Day of Wedding”. Please note this can vary depending on what your needs are but below is a generic wedding and reception timeline.

We promise as soon as you start thinking about the schedule and at least having an estimated one, the better it will help you in your planning wedding day.

The first thing you will need to know and that will change every piece to the timeline is – “What time is your ceremony”? Depending on your ceremony time you can then move other times to better fit your needs.
