Show Your Shots! Creative Wedding Photo Displays



Article written by: Dan Derby, Professional Photographer

I read in many on-line forums that couples often don’t hang their wedding photographs in their homes. On the other hand, many couples do put up their engagement pictures. They may love their pictures but the don’t display them. Why?

“My wedding pictures, particularly our portraits, seem a bit formal and feel artificial hanging in my home. Our engagement pictures are more “us”, relaxed and connecting with each other.”

Often wedding photos are shot fairly formally. That can make them feel artificial, particularly as time goes by. They just don’t represent the personalities of the couple. Historically, wedding photography was quite formal. Today’s lifestyles, on the other hand, are more relaxed. Your home reflects your lifestyle.

Creative Engagement Photos



Article written by: John Morris, John Morris Photography

Engagement shoots have become widely popular among newly engaged couples, and almost all of them want something different and unique. The best way to achieve that is to make it personal and have fun. That is when the best and most creative photographs are taken. Engagement photo sessions are supposed to be casual and relaxed so in this case, sticking to your comfort zone is perfectly fine. If you are planning to have your engagement photos taken and want to do something a bit different, think about what your personal interests and hobbies are. If you and your future spouse share a common hobby or interest, consider using it as a theme for your engagement session. For example, if you both love racing, find a nearby racetrack that will allow you to spend an hour or so shooting there.
