Tips to Capture Wedding Memories

It's one of the most memorable days of your life but the time goes by very quickly and without a good plan and an excellent photographer those memories may fade faster than you would like. Along with creating photo galleries after the event here are a few ideas to make sure your big day is documented and remembered for years to come.

1.Hire a Good Photographer. It is really true that in most cases you get what you pay for. Begin looking for a photographer well ahead of your big day and get to know them. Make sure they share your vision and you're clear on what they will do leading up to, on your wedding day, and deliver afterwards so there are no surprises. If you can't afford a professional photographer talk to friends who may be amateur photographers or get recommendations for photographers that might work for an exchange. If you have a skill or service to offer they may be willing to trade or give you a discount.

2.Encourage Guests to Take Pictures. Your photographer can't capture everything and some candid shots from your guests may end up being your favorites.  Create a web photo  album that has access for guests to upload their pictures after the event. This way you can have all of the images in one place.

3.Think Outside the Box. There are standard pictures that are taken at every wedding but if you want something different discuss this with your photographer and come up with some new ideas. Think of things that are important to you and your fiancé and what captures your personalities.

4.Take the Pictures. Even if you think you don't want the hassle of posing for pictures you may look back in a few years and wish you had spent more time documenting your wedding day. Parents and other loved ones may also want nice photos to remember.

5.For years ahead you will look back at your web photo album to see all the captured memories of your special day.
