What Are Some Wedding Party Photo Ideas?

The Morning Of…

On the beginning parts of your wedding day, they are usually spent getting ready with your chosen wedding party. Whether you have bridesmaids or groomsmen, our St. Louis wedding photographers have some ideas for some pictures you may want with them.

Getting Ready Moments to Capture

Some of the most timeless shots happen while everyone prepares for the day. Our photographers love to capture bridesmaids helping with the dress, arranging the veil, or sharing a moment of laughter. For groomsmen, classic shots include adjusting ties, fastening cufflinks, and toasting with a drink before the ceremony. These moments tell the story of friendship and anticipation before the celebration begins.

Here are a few ideas for must-have getting-ready photos:

• Bridesmaids zipping the dress or placing the veil
• Groomsmen adjusting jackets or helping each other with ties
• Detail shots of accessories like rings, shoes, or bouquets
• Group cheers or champagne pop moments before heading out

Pop Some Bubbly

One of the things that go well with celebrations is drinks! Have mimosas, beers, or mocktails for you and your wedding party. They make for some fun pictures. Especially when you pop open a champagne bottle!

After The Ceremony

If you’re planning on not seeing your other half until the ceremony, then you’re also probably planning on getting photos with the whole wedding party after. You can even have these photos taken prior to the ceremony to have more time with your guests during the reception!

Have A Laugh!

If you and your fiance’s wedding party are more on the goofy side, show that through your photos too! Have your wedding party stand on opposite sides with you and your fiance in the middle. Then have a tug and pull of you both as you try to lean into a kiss! Another fun picture we’ve seen is reenacting a golf shot. This one is better simply shown than explained.

Scenic Wedding Photos

If you happen to be having an indoor ceremony and venue, and they just happen to have a stunning interior, use it to your advantage! You can get some classic pictures by having them stand/sit somewhere with some cool furniture or backdrop.

Artistic Wedding Photography Styles

One of the more unique photos we’ve seen is a blur in motion. When you and your fiance are together, it’s easy to feel like you’re the only ones in the room as the world races past you. This kind of picture visually captures that feeling. Have your wedding party run around you and your fiance as you two stand still in the middle. The turnout is worth a thousand words.
