Wedding Photo Ideas and Projects

Pictures are important both before during and after your wedding. There are plenty of DIY projects that you can do to impress your guests and have memories that last forever.

Before your wedding, one of the best ways to get to know your photographer is to have an engagement photo session. Once your photos are all set and ready to go a great idea is to use your favorite for your “save-the-date” invitations. Simply upload your photo to a printing website, like VistaPrint, and you can add the affects you want to make your cards unique.

During your wedding, you can find interesting ways to display photos at your wedding reception. You can always re-purpose old photos and use them as coasters for your guest’s drinks, or use them as a part of your wedding program. To honor your parents or grandparents marriages find photos of their wedding days and display them as well, it is great way to bring out the sentimental nature of the day and make the moment even more special. 

After your wedding, looking at all the photos may be overwhelming. Sit down with your spouse or maid of honor when you are ready to scrapbook your day. Choose the best photos that you feel best describe your day. Make it like a story, highlighting the most important parts of the day, keeping the categories semi even (getting ready, wedding ceremony, candid’s, cake cutting, dancing, and speeches are popular categories). Also, be sure to have the most important people well represented whether it is your immediate family, bridal party or friends.
