What Photos Do You Want Taken at the Wedding After Party?
Brides who are planning to have a photographer take pictures at the wedding after party, have you prepared a photo instruction sheet?
The wedding after party can vary greatly depending on the couple, with plenty of entertainment, games, or casual mingling.
Because there is more freedom than at the reception, it's important to clearly communicate the scenes you want to be captured to the photographer ♡
That said, many brides might not be sure what scenes they want photographed...
So this time, we will introduce the scenes that should be captured at the wedding after party ♩
Photos to Capture at the Wedding After Party ① Hairstyle
The first scene we want to be captured is the hairstyle during the after party ♡
Many brides change their hair between the reception and the after party, right?*
However, most of the time, there is no photographer present between the reception and the after party. It's quite common for brides to think, "Oh no, I didn't get a proper photo of my hairstyle for the after party!"
So when the after party photographer joins, be sure to have your hairstyle photographed before the party starts ♩
Photos to Capture at the Wedding After Party ③ Preparation Scenes
If the party has organizers helping with the preparation, let's have them capture some behind-the-scenes moments too ♩
This scene is something the couple won't get to see. You will surely be moved to find out, "So this is how they prepared for us!" after the event is over ♡
Photos to Capture at the Wedding After Party ④ Cheers
The cheers scene at the after party will likely see many guests rushing to congratulate the couple ♡
It's recommended to not only capture the first "Cheers!" moment but also the subsequent cheers scenes to show the fun beginning of the reception party ◎
Photos to Capture at the Wedding After Party ⑤ Lovey-Dovey Shots
At a casual after party with just friends, it’s easier to capture lovey-dovey shots, like kisses and princess carries, which is alluring ♡
While there may be calls for a kiss, it's a good idea to request the photographer to specifically capture these lovey-dovey moments in advance*

Shots with the friends who organized the after party are also a must-have ♡
The organizers have a lot on their plate with hosting and coordinating, so they might not have time to take pictures, making it easy to forget to get photos together. Be sure to include this in your instructions so you don’t forget the important shots with your friends ♩
