Planning your wedding can be a stressful task, but one of the most important decisions you'll make is what photographer to hire. Your wedding photos will be treasured for years and the right photographer can help capture all of your special moments on your big day. When choosing a photographer for your wedding at Milagro Winery, don’t forget to discuss the must-have moments you want them to capture. Here are five moments your photographer should make sure not to miss:
Getting Ready: As bride and groom, it is important to remember that all brides and grooms have different experiences as they prepare for their wedding day - from donning traditional dresses and suits to enjoying a moment of relaxation before the ceremony. This is a great time for your wedding photographer to capture candid pre-ceremony shots of both parties, including details such as jewelry, accessories and flowers.
The Ceremony: Although you will likely take many photos during the ceremony itself, it is important that your photographer captures all of the special moments from this part of your day. Take the time to discuss with your photographer what elements of the ceremony you would like them to focus on, such as exchanging vows and rings or any family traditions or readings.
The Newlyweds: After the official wedding ceremony, it is important for your photographer to capture some shots of just the two of you together in both formal and informal settings. Don’t forget to tell them of any particular poses or locations you would like them to capture - such as a picture frame or window, a nearby fountain or pond, or under the trees in our scenic winery grounds.
The Reception: This is where all of your hard work comes together! Make sure that your photographer captures all of the important elements of your reception, from the speeches and toasts to the first dance and cutting of the cake. Don’t forget to also ask them to capture plenty of shots of you and your guests enjoying themselves - these are sure to be some of the best memories from your day.
Last Dance: As one final moment together, have your photographer capture a picture of your last dance together as a married couple. This will be the perfect way to remember the end of your big day and it is one photo you don’t want to miss!
These are just some of the must-have moments you should discuss with your wedding photographer. Whether you choose Milagro Winery for your special day or another venue, capturing all of the special moments will help ensure that you have a lifetime of beautiful memories from your wedding day!
