What to do with your wedding photos after the big day

So you finally received your wedding photos in a digital gallery. Now what? 

There are so many fun ways to showcase the memories your photographer captured for you on your wedding day. Whether you want to see them every time you open up your phone or laptop, or decorate your house with them, I’ve got options for you! Here’s a few of my favorite ways to show off all the love you shared on your wedding day: 

Digital Format

Pick your favorite and set it as your phone background. Can’t pick just one? I don’t blame you, I struggle to pick just one favorite from every wedding I photograph. Canva or SCRL are free apps you can use to create fun grids to show off more than one of your wedding photos.

Get a digital photo frame that cycles through your whole gallery. My friend has one of these in her office at work that she and her family add to from time to time. It’s a fun way to liven up your work space and relive your favorite moments.

Print, Print, Print

There are so many options when it comes to print. The most budget friendly option is printing on paper, but you can also purchase metal prints, canvas prints, and even tapestries!

Albums are a great way to print your photos in a way that re-creates the story of the day. Some photographers will even create one for you as a fun add-on so you don’t have to worry about piecing them all together.

Share

I always take at least one, “refrigerator photo,” for each of my couples. This is usually the photo that gets printed the most because it’s the one you send in your thank you cards and the one grandma is going to put on the fridge. Getting gifts for your guests is a nice gesture, but one they’ll cherish forever is a printed photo of you and your forever person. Why not share the love? 

Bonus Idea: 

My hubby and I are planning to do this for our vow reading, but I’ll share it with you because I think it is just so freaking cool. You can print your favorite engagement or wedding photo on a deck of cards, and either give them out as gifts, or if you’re having a microwedding or small reception, you can use them as a portable guest book that you’ll actually look at and use. We play card games all the time when we’re at home, camping, out to dinner, hanging out with family/friends, and then some. If that sounds like you, this one might be worth the salt.

Thanks again for joining me on The Wild Side

Wildly with love,
