Lately we have seen more and more couples experimenting with the way their wedding photo album is done. While some of us may joke about the wedding photos taken by some couples others have opted to be creative in approaching how the album can be done. Below are some simple yet creative ways of being different:

1. Are you having a church wedding? Arrange for your photographer to take shots for you after the ceremony in the church and around its premises after the guests have left. That way you may even have close friends and family members take those pictures together. It's meaningful and different.
   
   
2. Using the bridal houses' photography packages yet you do not want the change of costumes? Talk to them. Modern bridal houses and photography studios are very open to suggestions and willing to work something customised for you. For example, we know of a couple who opted for some simple garden shots in their wedding gown and suit. That's all. It came out really tasteful. No irrelevant costume changes.
   
   
3. Are you the sentimental sort? Invite your parents, best friends, siblings, nephews and nieces to come for the photo shoot. It may take some coordination but well worth it. When that is complete include old photos of these people in the album. That way you can see the changes and the times you spent together side by side. For example, your 5 year old birthday picture taken with daddy and mummy beside the photo of you in your wedding gown with daddy and mummy or pictures of you and your best friends during those teenage years and pictures of them at your wedding now.
