"Rare Opportunity: Capturing Wedding Photos at the Reception Venue Before the Ceremony Begins!"

Photos of the Wedding Reception Venue You'll Want to Look Back On Again and Again ♡
One of the joys of the wedding day is the first time seeing the reception venue. During the preparation period, many brides look at photos of senior brides online to nurture their ideas and meet with florists multiple times to create the venue's decor ♡
The chance to see that reception venue is only on the wedding day—it's the first and last time.
Because of the importance of capturing those memories, many brides request photographers to “please take lots of photos of the venue decorations.”
While it's certainly important to have clear photos of the floral design at the head table and guest tables…
There is actually a beautiful wedding photo of the reception venue that surprisingly few brides take!
Capture Your Photos Together in the Reception Venue ♡
That is, wedding photos featuring just the couple in the reception venue.
Photos of the couple sitting at the head table or shots taken in front of the venue doors are quite common on social media, but how rare is it to see wedding photos where the couple is alone in an empty reception venue?
Photos of just the couple in the reception venue are incredibly memorable, and
I believe photos with the main couple in them, rather than just photos of the venue alone, convey the atmosphere of the wedding day much more effectively ♡
Photos that capture both the ambiance of the reception venue and the appearance of the newlyweds on the day are also great for sharing announcements of “we had our wedding.”
Photos taken from a distance where the guest tables are included are lovely as well.
Many brides have likely coordinated their decorations by considering the combination of flowers used and their wedding dress, so photos conveying the overall atmosphere of the dress and reception venue are really appreciated.
These are precious photos that can't be taken once the reception starts, making them quite valuable.*
☑ For sophisticated venue decor, pose seriously and stylishly
☑ For a natural venue decor, a candid smile works best
☑ For a cute venue decor, lovely poses are perfect
It sounds like it might be nice to get creative with expressions and poses based on the venue's atmosphere.
Add to Your Photo Instructions: Wedding Photos in the Reception Venue ♡
Wedding photos of the couple that convey the atmosphere of the space. The fact that these are not often seen on social media indicates that there are few photographers who naturally capture these moments.
If you think it’s beautiful, be sure to add this to your instructions for the photographer!*
Please have memorable wedding photos taken in your beloved reception venue ♡
