17 Set The Top 10 Must-Have Shots For Your Wedding Photo Service
The importance of the photo service in a wedding
The photo service is one of the most important elements in a wedding, because after the very big day, what remains are memories and… PHOTOS!
That’s why we always recommend to wisely choose the photographer, in order to have a wonderful, professional photo service that will treasure the most beautiful moments of your event forever: those pictures will bring you back in time and will make you relive the happiness, the enthusiasm, all the great emotions you felt that day!
It is true that experienced photographers are always ready to give a piece of advice whenever it is necessary about what to include in your photo service, and it is also true that every couple is different from the others, with different tastes and expectations, that’s why a particular moment or detail that is fundamental for one couple might be not so important for others.
The moments that cannot be missing in a wedding photo service
Having said that, here at Apulia Weddings we have our own list of favourite pictures and we want to share them with you, with the help of the wonderful photos of many extremely talented photographers, female photographers from all over the world, that we have selected thanks to their excellent work.
So, here are (according to us) the 10 must-have shots in a wedding photo service:
It is a very intense moment! Everybody is looking backwards, in order to have the first glimpse of what the bride looks like. For her it is a very important moment, because she is the real protagonist, she is at the centre of the attention and she is about to make her dreams come true: how many emotions altogether!

2) The groom’s first look
In the same moment, there someone on the other end of the aisle who is experiencing the same great mix of emotions: the groom! Almost nobody is looking at him, but the expressions on his face, in the very first moment he sees his bride arriving, well deserve to be captured!

3) The exchange of rings
Whatever the wedding ceremony might be (civil, religious, symbolic), this highly symbolic moment is aaaalways present, unless the spouses are really really unconventional! This is also the moment the bride and groom exchange the most solemn vows of eternal love, commitment and fidelity. Let’s be honest: there is no wedding photo service without some photos of THIS MOMENT!

4) The first kiss as husband and wife
And after the proclamation, the newlyweds can exchange their first kiss as a married couple! What’s more romantic than that?

5) The tossing of the rice (or whatever it is…)
At the end of the ceremony it is customary for the guests to greet the bride and groom tossing rice, which is a symbol of abundance and wealth. But rice can be replaced by something else such as confetti, flower petals, soap bubbles and so on: the important is to find a way to rejoice with the newlyweds, to wish them long lasting happiness and… to capture this moment of great enthusiams and glee!

Another incredibly romantic moment: the lights go down, the music starts, the bride and groom are alone on the dance floor… perhaps the guests are about to join them in a few minutes, but this very moment is just for the two of them!

7) The cutting of the wedding cake
The long wedding day is almost over, but there is still time for further celebrations! It can be either a very solemn or humorous moment, depending on the personality of the couple, but it is always a GREAT MOMENT!

After these moments, there are 3 more situations we think that should always be included in a wedding photo shooting:
8) The bride (or groom) with a dear family member
It’s important to capture some tender gestures between the spouses and some beloved member of the family, for example between the bride and her daddy or the spouses with the old grannie: these photos will be the most appreciated in the years to come.

9) The details of the wedding décor
Flower arrangements and other elements of the décor (seating plan, centrepieces, escort cards, the very bridal bouquet) are the result of a long, careful process of preparation and planning: they absolutely deserve their share of photos!

10) The setting
The venues where the wedding ceremony and reception take place are usually very beautiful and picturesque, so it is a pity not to have great pictures of them. And often also the surrounding landscapes are amazing and this is particularly true in Italy, and in our Apulia too!
