Must-Have Photos for Your Big Day

Did you know May is National Photo Month? From adorning your walls for years to come to sharing your special day with friends and family, your wedding pictures are an important part of your big day. Our Colorado Springs wedding venue knows the importance of wedding photography. We've dedicated this week's blog to showcasing a few of the photo opportunities you MUST capture. Here at The Historic Pinecrest, we LOVE wedding photos and we hope you will share some of yours with us!


The Dress

Before the bride gets dressed, a solo shot featuring the wedding gown is a stunning addition that will be appreciated, from the big day. Personalized hangers are popular right now & that's a cute way to hang your attire.

First Look

If you choose to do a first look before the ceremony, be sure your photographer captures this special moment. All the excitement and preparation for the big day leads up to this moment, and it's an important one to keep for years to come.

Wedding Party Fun

Your wedding party is your closest friends and family members - this is an opportunity to show your natural interaction and personalities. Capture any shenanigans and fun poses with your bridal party.

Family Shots

As two families join together, this is a great opportunity to capture your love for one another! Be sure to get some photos with your family - you and your loved ones will look back on this special day.

Aisle Walk

No matter who walks you down the aisle, it's important to get photos of this intimate and special moment. Walking down the aisle is a big moment leading up to your ceremony and should be captured during your big day.

First Kiss

Starting your lives off as a married couple, the first kiss is a momentous part of your ceremony! Most wedding photographers know the importance of this moment and will capture this it for you.

Couple's Walk

As you take your first walk together back down the aisle, this a must-have shot from your big day. This is a moment of pure joy and happiness - it's a great photo opportunity!

First Dance

At the reception, the first dance is what everyone waits for! This is a vital moment to capture from your big day. Many couples will use this photo, along with the lyrics from their first dance to make a touching display of their big day.

Parent Dances

If you choose to do a father/daughter dance and a mother/son dance, these are big moments for the parents - be sure your photographer knows to capture these touching times!

The Toast

As the bridal part toasts to the happy couple, stories and personalities come out during this time. It's fun to capture this special moment from your big day.

Cake Cutting

A wedding tradition, cutting the cake, is a big moment and should be photographed as well. Hand-in-hand, the newly weds will cut the first piece of cake and feed a piece to each other.

Reception Fun

As your closest friends and family members gather to celebration your big day, it can be fun to look back on the memories. Encourage your photographer to capture your guests having a good time, at your reception.

Now that you've seen a few of the must have wedding day photos, you can start making a list of shots you want your photographer to capture.
