Classic or dated? Wedding photography cliches to avoid.

So, I’ll admit right away that I am guilty of some of these. And when I read this post on I Do for Brides I was reminded of the photographs from my own wedding in 1977…. full of stupid cliche images that I swore I would never duplicate. Hats off to Susan who said to me right off the bat, “..and don’t waste your time taking that stupid picture of my dress. I don’t get that picture and I don’t want it in my album.” Clearly we can learn something from our clients!

And now for your viewing pleasure, a few of the “cliches” from our recent blog posts…

Mosher Johnson Wedding

Manson McGrane Wedding

I’m going to send a link to this post to the brides whose weddings these images are from to get their reaction (he writes nervously…). Hey, we don’t learn anything if we don’t listen. For the record I have never once asked a wedding party to jump up in the air.

  • whatever, I love a dress shot. My dress shot, other peoples dress shot, nailing a dress shot. I love it. Never get tired of it.

    I would like to say perma good bye to the colored object in a field of black and white (gag!), and the jumping. I had a strict no jump policy at my wedding.
