Your wedding day is unique, as it is an opportunity to enjoy time with relatives and friends. All the classic wedding photographs are lovely to have, as they capture much-loved older relatives as well as the latest additions to the family.
Sandals Will Throw Your Wedding for Free
Stay 7 nights in a Club or Butler suite and Sandals covers the wedding: a personal planner, the ceremony, a private cocktail reception, a two-tier cake, your bouquet and boutonniere, plus $200 toward photos and $200 toward video. No venue hunt, no vendor juggling.
Once the photographs have been taken, why not have some fun photos taken? They help everyone to relax and laugh together and help to capture fun moments that will make you laugh for many years to come.
Bride and Groom Pillow Fight
Watching the bride and groom enjoy a pillow fight will make everyone laugh! This fun photograph can be achieved easily if they are staying at the reception venue. The resulting photos will capture fun and spontaneous action moments between the two and showcase their chemistry.
For extra fun, a hole can be made in one of the pillows so that feathers fill the air. Bridesmaids and ring bearers will be more than delighted to join in the fun too!
Bride Carrying Groom
A photograph of the bride carrying the groom is definitely role reversal at its best and will produce some hilarious photographs. The bride carrying the groom in her arms will definitely showcase her strength and create plenty of laughter.
If she does not feel confident that she can lift her groom, an equally amusing photograph will be of her and her bridesmaids joining together to carry him horizontally, with him holding a glass of Champagne to celebrate!
Swinging on a Playground Swing
Some lovely nostalgic moments can be captured of the bride swinging on a swing while the groom gently pushes her. This photograph works particularly well if the swing is in a rural setting surrounded by greenery.
In addition to the swing, more photographs can be taken of the couple on a roundabout or the group sliding down the slide into the bride's open arms.
Groom Proposing in the Supermarket
If the groom crouches down on one knee and proposes to his bride in the middle of the local supermarket, this will certainly cause a stir! As well as capturing the fun expressions of the couple, there will be plenty of reactions from other shoppers too, and these will add to the fun setting of these photographs.
Bride and Groom in Dino Costumes
If the wedding couple enjoys theatrical costumes, why not organize some for their wedding day? A pair of ovey-dovey dinosaurs takes a lot of beating, and bridesmaids and groomsmen will thoroughly enjoy getting dressed up too! The result will be some playful photographs that will look lovely in an outdoor setting.
Other costume ideas will suit a city wedding perfectly, and these include Superman and Superwomen. Wedding favors can reflect these costume choices.
Pretending to Bake in the Kitchen
Photographs of the bride and groom cooking together in the kitchen can certainly be fun – especially if there is plenty of flour involved! The bride and groom can enjoy playful moments and spoon-feed each other or throw flour about. They can wear personalized aprons with their names and wedding date clearly visible.
For added interest, the couple can be photographed using old-fashioned wedding scales with weights and other vintage cooking utensils.
A fun shot can be of the groom working hard rolling pastry for a pie, while his bride watches him, swigging Champagne straight from the bottle!
Groom Giving Bride a Piggyback Ride
This can be a really fun study of the couple with plenty of smiles and laughter. The bride is given a piggyback ride by the groom, who will have to tuck her train and veil over one arm. If the weather is rainy or it is muddy underfoot, this shot is a practical one too and will look even more amusing if the groom dons some brightly coloured rain boots!
Jumping on a Trampoline
There is plenty of scope for fun photos if you persuade the bride and groom to get on a trampoline or climb into a bouncy castle. The photographer can capture a number of fun shots from different angles, and if the bride has a short veil, this looks ethereal when it floats in the air. Other family members may well want to join in the bouncy fun too.
While everyone is out by the trampoline, get them involved in another fun photograph – a tug of war. The bride and her bridesmaids are on one side, with the bride pulling the groom's arm, while on the other side, his groomsmen are pulling on his other arm.
Mismatched Shoes
A very amusing photograph can be easily achieved by getting the wedding couple to swap shoes! This idea can be developed further by the couple wearing mismatched shoes all day long. Imagine how funny it is to see the bride looking beautiful in her wedding gown, which she lifts to reveal her favorite battered sneakers or riding boots!

Make Funny Faces with Props
Add some oversized sunglasses, false mustaches, and funny hats, and you soon have some fun wedding shots! The bride and groom making silly faces will soon have everyone laughing, and bridesmaids and groomsmen will soon be eager to join in the fun.
Couples can choose props that best suit their personalities and/or professions, such as police hats, firefighter helmets, etc.
Photo Bombed by Pets
Many couples have an animal that is an important part of their family. Animals are unpredictable but can add charm and humor to photographs.
The bride and groom receiving kisses from their dog works well, and their cat winding through the bridal dress looks cute. Of course, if they have a beautiful horse, this will look stunning, and some fun moments can be created with a bag of carrots!
Recreate Iconic Movie Scenes
There are a number of iconic movie moments that we would all secretly like to reenact, so what better excuse than on your wedding day!
The bride and groom can become Jack and Rosie on a ship's bow, just like in 'Titanic ', or can strike the dance pose from 'La La Land' against a cityscape background. For Harry Potter fans, there are plenty of scenes to recreate with the essential props of broomsticks and wands.
If you want to add galactic charm to your special day, some 'Star Wars' moments will be fun and for those who love the glamor and elegance of the roaring twenties, what better than choosing 'The Great Gatsby' as the theme for your fun photographs?
Groom Wearing Tutu
Sometimes the unexpected can cause a ripple of laughter, and the bridegroom looking smart in his DJ, bowtie, and a sugar coloured tutu will definitely be a moment to capture forever! To make the most of the moment, the groom can adopt some daft poses with his groomsmen.
The best time to take these shots is when the groom is getting dressed at the beginning of the day. The resulting photographs are fun and light-hearted and will complement the classic photographs in the album perfectly.
Bride in Oversized Sunglasses
The bride wearing oversized glasses will certainly make everyone smile. They can be carefully chosen to complement the wedding theme, showcase her hobbies, which could be flying or scuba diving, or her favorite pop star, such as Elton John.
For extra fun, her bridesmaids can be photographed all wearing exactly the same sunglasses or pairs in different colors.
Groom Trying to Lift Bride
The classic shot of the groom lifting his prize is beautiful and romantic, but imagine the same shot with a good sprinkling of humor and the groom trying really hard to lift his bride off the ground! This can be made even more amusing if the bride has a voluminous gown and the groom makes funny facial expressions as he tries to find his bride in the middle of all the material!
A fun approach to this photograph encourages the couple to relax and enjoy the moment together.
Dressing as Famous Couples
A fun twist to the classic wedding photographs can be achieved by the couple dressing as one of the classic couples such as Romeo and Juliet, Bonnie and Clyde, George and Amal Clooney, or Jack and Rosie from 'Titanic'. Your chosen couple can be from the world of pop/sport, such as Victoria and David Beckham.
The costumes need not be elaborate and can just be crowns, sunglasses, or accessories used by the star.
Playing Video Games Together
Everyone likes to be competitive, and what better way to relax than for the bride and groom than to find a beautiful bench to share and spend some moments playing video games together?
They can enjoy some snacks as they play, or a long, cool drink, and the photographs can capture the highs and lows of their video game session. If they have one particular game they enjoy, some soft toys or posters will help develop the theme perfectly.
Bridal Veil on a Bicycle
A lovely photograph can be captured of the bride sitting on a vintage bicycle with her veil trailing in the breeze. The groom can be holding the handlebars. Better still, if you have access to a tandem bicycle, some fun shots can be captured of the couple pedaling together – wedding dress permitting!
The bicycle can be decorated with flowers in the color theme of the wedding, and a 'Just Married' sign can be attached to the back. The perfect shot as the sun sinks, the couple pedals off into the sunset and their new life together….
