Bloomsbury Films Explains Top Tips for Must-Have Wedding Photos

• Bride having her makeup and hair done.
• Still life shots of the bride’s wedding gown, shoes and accessories, incorporating ‘something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue’ if the couple have opted for traditional nuptials.
• Photos of the bride’s and bridesmaids’ bouquets.
• Mother or best friend buttoning or zipping up the bride’s dress as well as positioning the veil.

We hope that couples preparing for one of the most unforgettable days of their lives will benefit from our expertise by ensuring that the key moments we have outlined before and during the ceremony are given to the photographer as a priority list.”
