TOP20 wedding pictures I want to be taken during my BIG DAY

After reading so many blogs and looking at billions of pictures on Pinterest, I noticed that during every single wedding you can find some pictures that are classic and taken by almost every wedding photographer. I chose my TOP 20 pictures I want to be in my wedding photo album. That might sound silly but I really think that so many couples choose to strike those poses and ask those pictures to be taken because it is  really beautiful (and because future brides spend too much time on Pinterest:)

1. Getting ready

I think it is a very nice to take those “getting ready“ pictures before the ceremony because it shows all the excitement on bride’s and groom’s faces and conveys the atmosphere of the wedding better.

2. The picture of bride’s dress and shoes

I think it’s a MUST to take a picture of the wedding dress and shoes for a wedding photographer! Dresses and shoes are girls best friends! Especially on this kind of occasion!

3. Bridal bouqet

Knowing that brides spend a huge chunk of their wedding budget on flowers, a picture of bridal bouqet is necessary!!!

4. Bride’s father seeing his daughter for the first time

I want my dad to be the first one to see his little baby girl looking so mature and ready to step the biggest step in her life.

5. The “first look“ 

So many couples can’t decide whether they should or shouldn’t do the first look, but I know, I am definitely doing it!

6. Looking at each other like no one else is there

It is a picture where the bride and groom look at each other and it gives me a feeling that only two of them exist in this Universe. I don’t know if you understand what I mean, but look at them and you might get an idea.

7. The BRIDE

After taking tons of pictures together, it is so beautiful to have a picture just of a bride herself. Enough said. Look at this gorgeous bride!

8. The GROOM

Check this handsome groom!

9. Rings

I think that no matter how expensive, amazing, original, sparkly or old fashioned your rings are, the picture of them MUST to be taken! You never know what might happen to them after 50 years of marriage, but you will still have some pictures to look at!

10. Children in the wedding

I am talking about a flower girl, your sister’s brand new baby boy or your little nephew. Some wedding parties don’t want children to be during their “addult“ event, but I think that children bring so much joy! I want some pictures taken of my little friends!

11. The ceremony

I think it is such a beautiful moment that is captured in so many angles. I don’t care about the angle, I just want that picture to show how I feel that moment. I and my significant other might shed a tear or two and I want my photographer to notice that.

I have a sweet tooth, and I really want a picture of my wedding cake! I prefer me and my future husband in that picture as well!:)

19. The first, second, third and final DANCES!

I think that the first dance does not necessarily have to be a classic one! A couple having fun on the dance floor makes the wedding guests so much more entertained! Also, the more time for dancing, the bigger opportunity to shake all the cake and extra calorie intake during the wedding! 🙂

I think that every couple would add some more pictures or poses they would like to be captured  during their BIG DAY, but for me, these are really important and beautiful moments I want to find in my wedding album and enjoy it for many  upcoming years.

P.S. I might add up some more pics later, these are the ones that I thought of immediatelly.

P.P.S. If you have any questions, please email me: mydreamweddingday@gmail.com

Silly me

Today I spent my entire day on the Internet. I didn’t do ANYTHING useful until I found this quote. Obviously, staying all the time on Pinterest, shows  who I am… I feel that I am the best at procrastination, but I am the worst at trying to find my self-identity. oh well

You think that’s enough? Well, then I found another quote by Eric Hoffer: You can never get enough of what you don’t really need.

I think that is enough said. I am turning off this machine.

I miss you… missing you insane…

This rainy morning I am listening to a beautiful song “I miss you“ by Beyoncé and thinking why life is not fear to me and my loved one… I miss my baby but he is so far away that I don’t even feel that I have the right to miss him because I know that missing him won’t change anything. I don’t know when I am going to see him but there is one thing I know for sure… I will wait as long as I need until I am with him… If you have your loved one by your side, please hug them, because the worst feeling in life is not to be able to touch, smell, feel or hear your loved one.

Daily confessions

This public art project in Las Vegas made me realize that people are open to share their confessions with others but what about sharing them with their loved ones?.. How should really feel the soon to become a bride/groom if they knew what their significant other was really thinking…

“I have doubts about the person with whom I plan to spend the rest of my life.“

TOP 10 wedding dresses with long sleeves designers

I chose to pick the TOP10 wedding dresses designers that create amazing wedding dresses with sleeves because I feel that no matter what season I will have my big day, my wedding gown will have sleeves.  It’s not only because I adore sleeves but also because I have an admiration for those brides who choose to leave a little bit of covered secret in their gowns. I also think that wedding dresses with sleeves are timelessly chic. So here is my TOP10. I would give all these designers a number 1 place FOR SURE, NO DOUBT, so these numbers do not mean too much because all of them are my favourite! Ching chong bing bang!

I told you that all of them are amazing, didn’t I? 🙂

Rainy wedding day can be AWESOME!

I always thought that the most important thing that really matters during the wedding is… the weather!!!! You can choose the groom, the venue, food and even your guests but not the weather!!!! That is the only thing you cannot control and it can really affect your BIG DAY. However, after watching this video I realized that the most important thing is the people that surround you during that beautiful day. No matter if it is snowing, raining or storming during your wedding day, if you have your family, friends, and most importantly, your loved one by your side nothing else really matters!!!! Every season is perfect for the wedding day! Check this  beautiful video and get ready to shed a tear.
