Blind folded by her

As the tradition is, don’t let the groom see the bride in her dress before the wedding ceremony. To make the shoot really out of the box, have the bride cover the groom’s eyes just before the big reveal. This is a great pose to begin the wedding shoot, so you can create a story from the follow up shots.

The first look

Make sure to capture the first look the groom has of the bride in her wedding dress. If the couple accepts to it, you can capture this shot in private before the ceremony begins as it will be difficult to capture the true emotions of the groom when the rest of the guests are present. This image is something they will keep in their memories forever.

Lying on the grass

For a playful, unique shot, tell the couple to lie down on the grass with their heads together, facing opposite directions. Have them close their eyes, and for a sugary touch ask the bride to place her hand on the groom’s face. This will result in a great image.

First dance together

An enjoying couple photo is a very important part to capture in a wedding. Usually the couple’s first dance happens at the reception or sometimes after that according to their rituals, but you can also have your couple practice their first dance during their photo shoot. This will make a perfect memory for their photo album. For a really beautiful, unique shot, capture the moment from a higher vantage point. This will give a different perspective to the image and it will look even more beautiful.
