Planning a wedding means you want every moment to look great. Good photos capture the laughter, the tears, and those tiny details that tell your story. At Rio Photography we keep things simple: you get clear advice, creative ideas, and fast printing, so you can enjoy your day without worrying about the camera.
Pre‑Wedding vs Post‑Wedding Shoot: What Works Best
Many couples ask if a pre‑wedding shoot or a post‑wedding session is worth the time and money. A pre‑wedding shoot lets you get comfortable with the photographer, try different outfits, and create fun images that aren’t bound by the ceremony schedule. It also gives the team a chance to scout locations and work out lighting.
A post‑wedding shoot is great for capturing the relaxed vibe after the ceremony. The party is over, you’re still in your dress, and you can focus on candid moments without the pressure of a timeline. If you choose this route, book a slot within a week of the wedding to keep the look fresh.
Posing and Candid Secrets for Stunning Wedding Photos
Standing straight and relaxed makes a huge difference. Keep shoulders down, shift weight onto one foot, and let your arms rest naturally. Ask your partner to walk toward you or hold a shared prop – it creates a natural connection that looks genuine.
Candid shots often win the day. Instead of telling everyone to smile, ask them to talk, laugh, or dance. The photographer will capture those real reactions, and you end up with images that feel alive.
Mix candid with a few classic poses. A quick line‑up of parents, a group shot with the bridal party, and a simple portrait of the couple give you a balanced album that tells the whole story.
After the day, Rio Photography offers high‑quality prints, photo books, and canvas wraps. We use lab‑grade paper that brings out colour and detail, so your memories look as vivid on the wall as they did on the screen. Choose a service that fits your budget and timeline, and we’ll handle the rest.
