Your wedding ceremony is a once-in-a-lifetime event, and you want to capture every special moment in photos. But sometimes, the officiant can unintentionally block the view of the photographer and videographer. Here are a few key times when the officiant should step aside to ensure you get stunning photos of your big day:
- During the processional: As the bride walks down the aisle, all eyes are on her. The officiant should stand to the side to give the photographer a clear shot of the bride and her groom-to-be.
- When the couple shares their vows: This is an intimate moment between the couple, and the officiant should take a step back to allow the photographer to capture the emotion in their eyes.
- During the first kiss: The first kiss as a married couple is a magical moment, and the officiant should step aside to give the photographer a clear shot.
- During the recessional: As the newly married couple walks back down the aisle, the officiant should again stand to the side to allow the photographer to capture their joy.
By following these simple tips, you can ensure that your wedding officiant doesn’t block the view of your photographer and videographer. This will allow you to capture all the special moments of your wedding ceremony in beautiful photos.
