Timeless wedding photos are those special photographs that just stand out and pop. Among all your wedding pics there’ll be a handful of truly fabulous ones. Especially if you have a professional wedding photographer like James Jagger shooting. Here are a few ideas of what your timeless wedding photos may look like.

Don’t look back…

Natural wedding photos, with the bride and groom enjoying their day in total happy relaxation, are what everyone’s aiming for. Your wedding photographer should be a trusted part of your team on the big day and not have you doubting anything.

Looking back over your shoulder, anxiously in the direction of the camera, will show in the finished pics. If you’re worried at all, about anything to do with your wedding photos, make sure you talk it through with your photographer before the big day. Someone like James Jagger is very used to this and happy to allay any of your fears.

Talk through your timeless wedding photos wishlist.

It’s worth having in your mind what some of your timeless wedding photos may be. These can vary according to your taste and personal style. As well as the general theme of your wedding. As with any concerns, also communicate what you think these might look like. Most are possible. If some aren’t then a professional like James will steer you in the right direction.

Communication is key with all aspects of weddings and wedding photos. So make sure you don’t leave it until the last moment. Or not mention it at all. 

Practise with pre-wedding shoots.

Getting together with your wedding photographer before your wedding day is a good exercise. Not only will you be able to run through things like a wedding shoot wishlist you’ll also be able to practise being photographed.

Not everyone is comfortable in front of a camera. So this gives everyone a chance to ease into it and become accustomed to how things may run on the day. Worth noting is that James Jagger offers this service free of charge as part of his wedding package. So it’s definitely good to make use of.

The golden hour - the best for timeless wedding photos.

If possible aim for the golden hour for the best possible light and therefore some of the best and most timeless wedding photos. The golden hour is just as the sun’s starting to set and the light is softer, thereby setting your wedding photos off.

Of course, the weather doesn’t always play ball in the UK. But have no fear. Even if you don’t get an idyllic sunset a professional wedding photographer like James will know when the time’s right. Whisking you away for those timeless wedding photos, whatever the conditions, he’ll get them sorted. 

Chase those moments!

Wedding days are special. There’s lots of opportunity to do things you wouldn’t normally do. Climb that rock. Stand under that fountain. Dance on the chair. Or sing with the band. It’s your day and you’re free to have it play out however you wish.

These moments lead to great opportunities for timeless wedding photos. Having James on hand to capture these situations means you’ll have something memorable and fun to look back on. So don’t be coy. Chase those timeless wedding photo moments with gusto!

Summing up.

The above barely scratches the surface of what timeless wedding photos are. So many factors are at play. James is great at working through what you’re after. Even if you’re not sure yourself.
