Wedding albums are generally easy to put together when it’s a big wedding. This is due to the large number of photos that you end up receiving from your photographer. What do you do when you have a smaller, more intimate wedding though? What should you focus on when creating your wedding album?

These tips will help.

Showcase the Setting

Your venue is an integral part of your day so ask your photographer to capture shots that showcase the setting for your big day. Take plenty of photos of the landscape and majestic views of an outdoor wedding venue like Green Gables Farm. These are great shots to use at the beginning and end of your album.

Focus on the Meaningful Moments

It’s perfectly ok to still capture all the big moments such as getting ready with your bridesmaids. However, when you choose to have a more intimate wedding, you should also home in on those smaller, more meaningful moments. The first look or shots of you opening a gift from your beloved are some examples.

Capture the Finer Details

Another great way to fill those open spaces in your wedding album is with shots of the finer details. This could be anything from your rings and shoes to the groom’s cufflinks. Even if your celebration is absolutely simple, it wouldn't be a wedding without the little touches that really made it your own.
