Must Have Bridal Party Photos

As a wedding photographer, I LOVE capturing the special moments of a couple’s big day. While the focus is often on the bride and groom, the bridal party plays a significant role in creating unforgettable memories. In this blog post, we will explore must have bridal party photos that beautifully capture these cherished moments.

Fun Bridal Party Poses

1) Bridesmaids with the Bride: Fluffing Her Dress, Sharing Laughter, and More

One of the most heartwarming moments of any wedding is when the bride is surrounded by her closest friends and family. Capturing the bond between the bride and her bridesmaids is essential. The bridesmaids will make a semi-circle around the bride with some girls standing more behind and some crouching more in front. They’ll just adjust her dress, veil, etc. admire her and hype her up!! The photographer will direct the bride to look at the camera, look at her bouquet, or look at her girls. These intimate shots showcase the support and love that the bridal party provides.

These candid moments of laughter and joy shared between the bride and her bridesmaids are precious memories to be cherished. Posing the bride and her bridesmaids in a natural setting, allows their personalities to shine through. These photos reflect the genuine friendship that is an integral part of any bridal party.

2) First Look with a Twist

These must have bridal party poses are a unique twist on first looks! For this bride, she went the extra mile to “ice” her groomsmen which made for extra fun and hilarious photos! When this Groom did a first look with the bridesmaids, it became super sweet time for them to hype him up before seeing his bride! Doing a first look with the opposite group is a super fun addition to a wedding day, especially when the entire bridal party are such good friends!

This must-have pose of “rushing the groom” is a lighthearted and fun moment that often takes place before the ceremony. This is an great opportunity to capture candid shots of the groom and his groomsmen, showcasing their unique personalities and sense of humor.

Encourage the groomsmen to have fun and let loose, creating an atmosphere of excitement and celebration. Whether it’s lifting the groom in the air, jumping on his shoulders or just rushing up behind him, these images capture the joyful energy and camaraderie that makes a great groom’s party.
