Aside from the moments shared with the groom, a bride deserves to have her personal moments photographed so she could relive her emotions in the future. Starting from the makeup session down to the dance floor, there are countless moments and emotions that make the day so special. Take a look at the photos below and implement your own artistic interpretation for your next client's wedding.

2. Hand Shots
If you are the chosen photographer for the usually festive Indian wedding, don't forget to capture the henna on the bride's hands. It is said that different patterns of henna symbolize different blessings for the marriage. Some traditional Indonesian too have this ritual, so be sure to capture those. Also, take a close-up shot of the manicure, it is one of the tiniest yet most impactful details of the entire ensemble. Don't forget the rings too!

3. Writing love notes for each other
Some couples prefer to not meet in the morning of the wedding day. However, they sometimes give little gifts to one another. Make sure to have a shot of the bride writing a note for the groom, and another one as she reads the note from him.

5. Bridal portrait
When finally everything is in place, a bridal shot is a definite necessary. You can experiment this shot by taking it from any angles as you please. Either from the side or from the front, if your bride is wearing an exquisite backless dress, take a shot of her facing away from the camera so she can show off her back.

6. Holding the bouquet
A bride holding her bouquet is a pretty sight to see. There are plenty of ways to this shot. You can play around with the depth of field, focusing on the bouquet while keeping her face blurry. Or, you can also take the shot neck-down and focus more on how well the bouquet sits with the dress. If you have other creative or even artistic interpretation to this shot, go ahead and snap away!

8. Flower girl moments
Don't forget about the little flower girls! Having flower girls in a wedding is not only cute; they add a sense of innocence to the wedding. As the little girls usually love to play around, spare some time to take photos of the girls alone as well. You'll end up with cute photos that your client are going to love.
