A wedding could not be planned two months prior to the D day where you go for bridal shopping and arrange the catering etc. A wedding symbolizes the beginning of your new phase of life, the beginning of a journey of a lifetime. Hence, the wedding itself takes about a year to arrange if you want it all to be perfect. You get your wedding gown and wedding suit six months prior to the event and make sure you don’t lose or gain weight so that you can fit perfectly into it. You start checking out the marriage hall rates in Mumbai, Goa, Alleppey, Udaipur, or other beautiful destinations to find that perfect venue.

The year you get married is the most eventful year of your personal life, at least, family gatherings wise. A wedding isn’t just about the wedding day, or the week of the wedding, reception, or Haldi and Mehendi functions. Your wedding is about all the hard work you and your family put in to ensure a series of perfect ceremonies. After all that, you deserve a break. Most of the people take it in the form of a honeymoon. But that is just for the bride and the groom. What about all the other people who worked so hard to make the wedding a success? You owe them a post-wedding shoot just as much as you owe yourself the luxury of capturing the first moments as a married couple and frame it away for a lifetime.

Here is a list of post-wedding photo shoot ideas that include your friends, family, and of course, some ideas for just the two of you.

  • Just married

The classic ‘Just Married’ photo is a must for your post-wedding photography album. It will be a good idea to put it on the cover of your wedding album or separate post-wedding album. If you are planning to make a journal out of your post wedding pictures, put one in black and white on the cover and coloured on the very first page of the album. Imagine the nostalgia rush you will get when you open this album 40 years from now.

  • The Rings

The rings must get a dedicated photograph either through a pre wedding photoshoot or post wedding. If you both as a couple are not about the rings, but more of the Mangalsutra or vermillion people, that’s okay too. Get a very artistic photo of the wedding bands. The typical idea, yet a very good one, is to take a black and white studio shot of the hands holding each other such that both the bands are in focus. The bands gold, diamond, or silver, need to shine brightly in the picture, so keep just the bands in colour.

  • Don’t Let Her Feet Touch the Ground

Take a picture of the groom carrying the bride into their new home or their bedroom or just out on the lawn. This photo shows affection and brings out the youthful enthusiasm of a young married couple. Also, this photo will act as a reminder of your fitness sooner than you realize. If the bride is strong enough, you could totally reverse the role and have her carry the groom. It is still just as sweet.

  • Missing the Parents

The family deserves to be in at least one of your post-wedding photos. The parents of the bride will always have a sad glimmer at the corner of their eyes even if they have a smile on their face. They miss their daughter and she misses them too. If you both are moving out after marriage, the same holds true for the groom’s parents as well. Take a photograph with your respective parents, with your respective parents in law, and one with all six of you together.

  • Messing it Up

The first few days as a married couple will always have some rough patches. It doesn’t matter if you both know how to cook and clean, or if you have been living in for some time now. Mistakes will be made and silly follies will lead to some mess around the house. Instead of getting annoyed, take a picture of the mess and put it up on your Instagram with a caption along the lines of “Adulting as a Couple”.

  • The Jealous Best Friend

If your best friend is not jealous of your husband or wife, he or she is not your best friend. Your best friend could be a childhood friend, or the closest friend you have, your sibling, or your dearest cousin. You need to understand that no matter how much you want to believe otherwise, it’s never the same after marriage. So, honour the bond that got you here, and dedicate at least one photo each to your respective best friend or best friends. If you have close common friends, have a picture together with them too. These are the bonds that were there before the wedding and will remain after it. Don’t forget this ‘forever’ bond because you just got a new ‘Forever’.

  • Young Romance

Post wedding photography has to include exclusive couple shots that depict the young romance. Be it indoors or outdoors, your home,  park or any other pre wedding photoshoot locations, the giggling close-ups and the “We are so happy” faces are post wedding snaps that are worth framing and keeping on the bedside table to wake up to every morning. Even if you go to bed a little upset with your partner the night before, you will wake up to the reminder of a happy couple the next morning.

  • Coy Smiles

The coy smile of the bride or the groom is a giveaway of the newness of the marriage. Irrespective of whether it is an arranged marriage and you have only known each other for a few months, or you are marrying your high school sweetheart, being a married couple will bring out a few shy moments. Capture it to keep the freshness of the relationship alive.

  • Honeymooning

Add the best honeymoon photo in your post-wedding photo album. If you do not have a separate album for honeymoon and post-wedding pics, mark the distinction with the best honeymoon photograph.

Keep the post-wedding photos in your honeymoon album, or make a totally separate album exclusively for the first few days of your wedding, whatever you do, you must make sure that you have captured every moment of joy, every moment of fun, and every moment of utter confusion as a new couple. This post wedding photo album will be the best escape from the haunting memories of relentless hunting for the best caterers, comparing marriage hall rates in Mumbai, canceling on one priest and moving on to the next, and other such stressful and mundane tasks.
