Weddings are made in heaven, they say. However, you can retain them on earth through good photography, by sealing the memories forever in those albums and video cassettes or compact discs. Therefore, it remains largely up to the photographer to click the right kind of pictures.
It is very important for a photographer to know what the right pictures to take are, and which ones are a strict “no”, so that the album retains the best of everything and everyone on that big day.
A few pictures before the ceremony involve photos of the bride getting ready. A picture of the bride with her mother and one with her father, separately and one with both of them, would be great. It is also relevant to click the bride with her flower girls and bridesmaid. A shot of the bride leaving the house would be symbolic and very befitting addition in the wedding album.
The ceremony is the most important part of the day. Capture that on camera by starting with a shot of the bride getting out of the car. Then click the groom with his ushers. Take a shot of the groom, when he walks down the aisle or when he is at the altar. A shot of the flower girl while she walks down the aisle and one shot of the ring bearer when he walks down the aisle are good too. A shot of the bride while she walks down the aisle would be great. Capture a poignant moment of the giving away of the bride. A picture of the groom meeting the bride and one with both of them at the altar, along with a panoramic view of the audience would also be great. Click a picture of the musicians as well. In addition, the exchange of rings, the candle lighting, the kiss and the shot of the couple coming up the aisle contribute to memorable shots. A shot of the couple throwing flower petals and one of them in the car is valid too.
Then the shots of invitation card, cake, bouquets are also relevant.
Bride and groom with their respective parents and then with both sets of parents must be captured. The grandparents, if alive, should be in the pictures. The couple’s attendants, their extended family should also be in the pictures.
At the reception, the dances are important- the photographer can capture the couple dancing, the bride with her father, and the groom with his mother. Of course, you cannot ignore the guests or the toast. A few informal shots of the couple talking to guests can be included. Due attention must be given to the cake table, the cake ceremony, the throwing of the bouquet and the couple bidding bye to the guests.

Helpful Tips for the Bridesmaid
Becoming a bridesmaid involves lot of effort. From bridesmaid’s gown to shoes and from head pieces to jewelry, you need to arrange everything.

The first thing you need to do is to calculate the total money which you will have to spend. Take into account your budget before making any plans. If you are short of money but you still want to be a bridesmaid, then make things clear to the bride and seek her permission if you are free to make some compromises. For example, instead of buying an expensive gown, you can opt for wearing a black gown which you already possess. But it is very essential to make the things clear to the bride and get her consent.
If a bridesmaid does not have much money to spend, then cost cutting can be done by patronizing the less expensive manufacturers like Alfred Angelo and Bari Jay. Matching the shoes with the gown is very important for the bridesmaid. It can be done by dyeing an old pair of shoes so you don’t have to buy a new pair. If you are wearing a dark gown, black shoes can easily go with it. Do not waste money on buying expensive things. You can also buy the shoes from low-priced stores and Wal-Mart. Bargaining can also help you get the right price.

Implement your ideas and bridesmaids can help each other and do their own hairstyles. Another option can be by approaching owners of beauty schools and ask if their students can give the service at nominal prices.
One should not be hesitant to become a bridesmaid. Instead you should offer your services at once. This will not only give happiness to you but also to the bride. A bridesmaid is very special to the bride. So you should put in all the efforts to dress up very well. The look of the bridesmaid should be according to the look of the bride. Just explore your ideas and follow the above tips to become the perfect bridesmaid.
