Wedding Photo Ideas for a June Event
- If your wedding day is warm and sunny, take advantage of the weather and take photos outdoors. A flower garden, beach or lakefront setting screams "Summer!" and provides a beautiful backdrop for the photos. If your event venue is urban, you can still find fun outdoor sites. Go to a nearby playground and take pictures on the swings and slides, or take playful pictures on a baseball diamond or basketball court. While a garden or water view is expected and classic, you can create stunning pictures by taking advantage of an unexpected outdoor setting like a farmers market, zoo or a street corner.
- Traditionally, June has been the most popular month for weddings. Play with the idea of tradition and create your own take on traditional wedding pictures. Look at the posed wedding photos that your parents and grandparents have from their wedding days and mimic those images with your wedding party. For a fun touch you can later frame your parents' or grandparents' photos next to your 21st century version. Search thrift and antique stores for old-fashioned props to use in your photos, or have the photographer create prints in sepia tones or use other aging effects to make your photographs appear as if they are from another era.
- June's flower is the rose and the June birthstone is the pearl. Create June-themed photos by buying roses to use as props or posing in a rose garden. Roses come in a variety of colors, so choose your favorites for the pictures. If purchasing large quantities of roses or pearls is out of your budget, use the colors to inspire your pictures. Find sites where rose red and pearl white are featured colors, or buy items in various rose colors to use as props in your pictures.
- Many bizarre and entertaining themes fall in June, and maybe one will appeal to your wedding party as a backdrop for fun photos. June is Dairy Month and Candy Month, so consider the color and fun ice cream or candy props will add to your photo session. June is also Aquarium Month, and many aquariums have architecture and lighting that could make an intriguing backdrop for pictures. Look at calendars and online sites for other June themes that may inspire a creative photo shoot.
