2. Create a Timeline

Work together with your photographer and wedding planner to carve out time for key moments.

This way, your wedding album can tell a story, starting with details like rings, invitations, flowers, and outfits.

Then move to key moments like the ceremony, your vows, your first kiss and your final exit as blissfully wed.

Don’t forget:

Throw in candids from the getting-ready process and late-night dance-offs to capture the day’s full spirit. Also include time for unplanned moments, like surprise laughs and goofy group shots.

3. Get Your Guests Involved

Even the best photographer and their sidekick can’t be everywhere at once. Guests bring a different perspective—the laughter over cocktails, kids on the dance floor, and candid reactions that make the day unique.

Guest photos are the perfect complement to professional shots, offering a fuller picture of the celebration.

Here are a few of the best ways for guests to share wedding photos:

Wedding photo-sharing sites and QR codes are a breeze to use and there’s no app to download or accounts to worry about. Your guests simply scan the code and upload their photos directly to your online gallery.

Place the QR code on table cards, signs at the venue, or even in the wedding program. Guests snap the code, upload their pics, and boom—you’ve got a treasure trove of memories.

Don’t forget to set up your QR photo-sharing site well in advance, so it’s wedding-day ready.

Photo booths are a classic hit. Spice it up with props or personalized backdrops.

Want to keep it retro? Hand out disposable cameras for an old-school vibe. Guests love snapping their own perspectives.
