A wedding is not just a ceremony, it’s an emotion, a celebration, and a lifetime memory that deserves to be captured beautifully. The photographs from your big day will be your treasure to relive those magical moments again and again. But with so much happening on your wedding day, it’s easy to miss capturing certain moments. That’s why we’ve put together this list of 15 must-have shots in your wedding album that will help you preserve the essence of your special day.
Every bride deserves her princess moment. A solo portrait of the bride, dressed in all her bridal finery, with makeup and jewelry shining, is an absolute must for any wedding album.
Just like the bride, the groom too should have a dedicated solo portrait. A well-composed shot of the groom, either candid or posed, captures his anticipation and joy.
That magical moment when the bride and groom see each other for the first time on the wedding day is priceless. Whether planned or spontaneous, this candid shot is sure to bring goosebumps.
The excitement, laughter, and nervousness while the bride and groom are getting ready make for beautiful behind-the-scenes photos. Shots of makeup, hair styling, or even adjusting the dupatta or turban add charm to the album.
One of the most dramatic and emotional moments of the wedding, the bride’s entry under the phoolon ki chadar, or with her family, must be captured in all its glory.
From the groom dancing with friends to his grand arrival on a horse, car, or even a quirky ride, the baraat is full of high-energy moments that add vibrance to the album.
Tears of joy, proud smiles, and tight hugs between parents, siblings, and close relatives are pure gold for a wedding photographer. These emotional shots capture the heart of the celebration.
The varmala or jaimala ceremony is one of the most iconic wedding moments. A candid capture of the couple exchanging garlands amidst cheers and laughter is a must-have shot.
From the pheras to the sindoor moment, these sacred rituals are the essence of an Indian wedding. Every detail, from the fire in the havan to the couple’s folded hands, deserves to be documented.
Amidst all the chaos, candid shots of the couple sharing a smile, a private whisper, or a stolen glance add intimacy to the wedding album.
Weddings are incomplete without capturing the stunning décor. From the mandap and stage to the centerpieces and wedding signage, detailed shots bring back the mood and style of your big day.
Indian weddings are also about food! A well-shot image of the lavish buffet, desserts, or even guests enjoying the delicacies is a fun addition to the album.
Whether it’s a choreographed performance or a spontaneous dance, this shot is romantic and joyful, a highlight of any wedding celebration.
The bride’s farewell is an emotional, tear-filled yet heartwarming moment that must be beautifully captured. It’s one of the most meaningful parts of any wedding album.
Finally, a post-ceremony couple portrait, relaxed, happy, and glowing, makes for a perfect ending to your wedding album. These timeless shots become iconic memories for years to come.
Your wedding day is filled with fleeting moments that deserve to be captured and cherished forever. A well-curated wedding album not only preserves your story but also becomes a legacy to share with future generations.
