5 Must Have Photos of Your Bridesmaids

While we all think the typical static group shot of your bridesmaids is always the best, lately that isn't necessarily the case. While static photos give you a great shot of you and your girls and the dresses and every little detail, photographers today are going more candid when it comes to bridesmaid photos.

So what kind of photos should you have of your bridesmaids? Here are some ideas:

A View From the Back: You'll see it all over Pinterest, in other wedding photos you come across, today photographers are taking shots of bridesmaids with locked arms from the back. It offers a more casual yet intimate feel of the bride and her bridesmaids while still giving an overall view of the bridesmaids.

Before the Wedding Photos: Pictures of the girls helping the bride, or getting ready if the bridesmaids are getting ready all together. Little details also include close ups of the hair, the face and details of the dresses.

Fun and Crazy Poses of Bridesmaids: Girls just want to have fun! And they are when it comes to taking pictures, whether it's crazy group shots where each girl is making a different face or doing a different pose, it's all about having fun.

Down the Aisle Shots: Another popular photo are the girls standing along side the bride, this isn't new, but you will find photographers shooting specific details like a facial expression or a floral bouquet or they will take an overview shot to include the bride, the groom and the bridesmaids looking on.

Pictures Between Pictures: You will see photographers while prepping the bridesmaids and the bride for the formal photos, they will take in between shots, of the girls laughing and talking amongst themselves or with the bride. This also provides a more intimate look and feel of what the day was like for everyone, and it is memorable too.
