8 Photo Tips to Show Your Wedding Dress at Its Best

When you’ve finally found your dream dress, take time to capture it on camera on your big day. After all, it’s a once in a lifetime, unrepeatable experience for the dress too! This doesn’t mean that you can’t allow yourself to be swept away in the moment and have to stress all day. By letting your wedding photographer know exactly what you would like, you can have a wedding photo album full of special moments without extra stress. Here are a few photo types of Daalarna brides showing the wedding dress in all its beauty.

1. Waiting for You on the Hanger

The very first stage of the preparation is when the dress is hanging on the hanger waiting for you to put it on. It seems to symbolize calm before the chaos. With proper lighting gorgeous photos can be taken of it, perhaps including the accessories or the flower girls.

2. Getting Ready

One chapter of your life is closing and another is just about to begin. It is fitting that in the final moments of getting ready only those closest to you are there, your parents, sisters and best friends. Let them help you, and enjoy being the centre of attention! 

3. Details

The best photos of the details of the wedding dress can be taken while getting ready: the buttons, the fine lacework, the fall of the dress and other features. Those very things that made this dress your dress!

4. Low Cut Back

Whether you have a low cut back or not, it is always worth taking photos from the back and not just the front, as exciting details can be highlighted. In addition, your beautiful hairstyle can be shown in all its glory.

5. Playful and Happy

If you want to bring your dress to life, then forget the regal posture for a moment, and move naturally in the dress during the creative photoshoot. If you like you can run, swirl and jump like a little girl, but of course only if you feel comfortable with this. Being true to yourself is always the most important rule even on your wedding day!   

6. Fashion Photos

The exact opposite of the previous photo style is the fashion photo feeling when you can pose in your dream dress like a Vogue magazine top model. Trust me you will love the final result!

7. The Train

If you have a train, don’t forget to show it to the camera! The effect will be a princess straight from fairyland, just as you wished for!

8. Bring on the Shoes

Basically, there are two types of brides, one feels comfortable in trainers or flat-heeled ballerina shoes even on her wedding day, the other wouldn’t dream of not wearing high heeled shoes and spends at least as much energy on finding the perfect shoes as choosing the dress. If you have your dream shoes it would be a sin to hide them under the dress during the photoshoot, so be sure to have them on display when getting ready and during the creative photoshoot.
