Did you have a defining photo from your wedding? Perhaps the bride and groom posing in clown glasses and mustaches from the photo booth props. Or an outdoor ceremony shot set against a beautiful orange sunset. Or an aerial view of the massive congo line stretching the length of the dance floor. If you’re lucky enough to have one such photo to define your special day, consider including it in your wedding thank you cards to give your guests a happy flashback when they receive your card.

We’ve already shared some strategies to get that great card-worthy photo of your newborn, but read below for some tips to get great wedding photos for your album and wedding thank you cards.
Intimate Moments: Momentarily step away as a newlywed couple and allow the photographer to observe your interactions and snap away. Whether it’s a hand in hand stroll or an intimate glance, these photos will be among the most heartfelt in your album.
Candids. Candids are always a lot of fun. Be sure to let your photographer know that you’d like candid shots, and during your own photo session be sure to point out guests you’d like them to capture.
Angles. Most people don’t look their best straight on so make sure you turn your head a little during posed photographs.
Let your personalities shine. Ask your photographer to encourage the wedding party to show off their personalities so you have the most natural shots possible. Wedding party photos often appear overly stiff and formal. A trick is to pose with toasting glasses or around a bench or tree to allow more natural interaction and to shift the focus to be the party experience.
Be natural. Don’t force a smile just because you see a camera pointed at you. Some of the most beautiful photos can be of a thoughtful expression or a smirk.
Before your wedding, consider the photos you hope to capture and share a list of important guests with your photographer.
