Breath Bridezilla! It's time to take it cool and cool down with a chilling refresher. A perfect shot to capture an upbeat attitude, drinking shots have suddenly become all the rage - be it a simple milkshake, a cool Coke, a coffee mug/cup or even something stronger. So, pick up a bottle and swig it like no tomorrow for creative wedding photography set like no other. While also showcasing your love for a particular drink or a food item, it would make a photography shot to remember for life. 

2. The Mehndi Shot

If you got it, flaunt it. Pictures showing off the goodness of Mehndi designs have gone through a reinvention by themselves, with attitude being a careful addition. Flaunt your henna designs for hands across or partially covering your face, with a popped eye for good measure. With a change in the stunning mehndi designs nowadays to choose from that range from Arabic to traditional to minimalistic, a perfect mehndi shot is a must have in your wedding album.  

3. Dramatic Entries

Everybody loves a grand entry! Add a pinch of drama to the groom’s wedding entry to make it a memorable moment. You could add the same set of panache to a grand bridal entry too. Choose a vintage car to exude royalty or opt for a more funky way to enter your wedding venue while choosing an entry song that would leave a lasting impression on each one of your wedding guests.

There is just a lot that you can do for a stunning bridal entry. You can choose from entering like a princess and sitting on a throne, or a traditional way of entering the venue with a floral chadar on your head. You can even bring your pets in so that you can make a lasting memory or dancing your heart out. Any way that you choose to enter your wedding venue, it would be a wonderful and creative photography shot to remember the day by.

4. Getting ready shots

Capturing a groom’s excitement before that “I do” moment, or the bride doing her last touch-ups...these are some of the most adorable shots for creative wedding photography. You can even get a whole photography series clicked of you getting ready so that you do not miss out even on a single detail. 

5. Tight close-up portraits

A close-up shot of the blushing bride is an absolute must for a creative wedding photography album. It’s a priceless expression that has subtle nervousness mixed with enthusiasm and a feeling of adventure. From a fun expression to the one with emotional subtones to the anxious one, you can get a range of beautiful photographs clicked on your wedding day or any of your other festivities. 

6. The 'share a laugh' shots

Never miss out the candid laughter between the bride and the groom! There are cute little moments amidst all the wedding ceremonies, where the couple bursts into laughter. That is simply one of the most adorable subjects in creative wedding photography.

7. Low-angle shots

A low angle shot is usually used to make the subject look taller or larger. Wedding photographers prefer using this particular shot during a Jaimala to emphasise the frame. In creative wedding photography, low angle shots are also used for shooting dance performances on Sangeet.

8. The Goofy Groomsmen

Weddings are the occasions brimming with emotions. Giggles, tears, sadness, excitement- all kinds of feelings are exploded at a wedding. Capturing such precious moments is an essential part of creative wedding photography.

14. Perspective shots
