BOUDOIR This is an intimate, pre-wedding bridal shoot, designed to empower you to feel confident in your own skin and embrace your femininity. Captured with a specialist photographer in a private setting (hence the name) these are typically gifted to grooms and you’ll be glad to hear are intended for his eyes only. PACKAGES When you’ve narrowed down the style of photographer you want to book, you’ll be getting down to the nitty gritty of looking at the packages they offer. Look out for elements including hours of coverage, consultations, timeline, number of images, albums and prints, whether they offer a pre-wedding shoot, how they deliver the images and more. There’ll often be various tiers available from the basic to upgrades such as inclusion of a second shooter or drone footage.

You’ve spent so much time and effort carefully curating the look of your big day, so you’ll love having it all immortalised to look back on and remember how incredible everything looked. Andres Molina for Unsplash CANDIDS This is how photographers refer to informal, unstaged shots; just capturing you and your loved ones in the moment as it happens. They capture genuine, raw emotion and always feature among our favourites. Hisu Lee for Unsplash FINE ART When it comes to wedding photography fine art refers to a style that elevates your images focusing on artistic and aesthetically captivating photographs akin to fine art. This style focuses on beauty and tells the story of your day through a series of carefully curated images rather than purely documenting events. Fancy National Portrait Galleryworthy shots, this one’s for you! Joeyy Lee for Unsplash FIRST LOOK If you’re not precious about the first time you see each other being from either end of the aisle, this is a lovely option to consider. You’ll meet with your photographer before your ceremony to capture your reactions as you see each other in your big-day attire for the very first time. There are often tears and emotions aplenty to immortalise. You may also opt for this if timings are too tight to allow couple shots post ceremony. First look shots with the bridesmaids or father-of-the bride also totally tug on the heart strings! 52
