Rehearsal Dinner, Why you need to Hire a Photographer

Brides and grooms plan for wedding photography, but rehearsal dinner photography is usually an afterthought. A rehearsal dinner is just as important to document as the wedding. Here’s why:

You Can Actually Take Photos With Everyone

The rehearsal dinner guest list is typically pared down to your absolute nearest and dearest—often just your family members, longtime friends and wedding party. Use this opportunity to get photos with everyone, especially if you have a huge family.

You'll Document All Those Emotional Speeches

You'll have toasts and memorable moments at the wedding, no doubt, but rehearsal dinner speeches, given by any number of loved ones, including parents, friends and even the couple, are often slightly less formal and even more emotional.

Your Photographer Will Get to Know Your Family

When I have the opportunity to photograph the rehearsal dinner before the wedding I learn so much about the couple through the speeches. I also get to know the family and guest better and who goes with who. This knowledge helps me document your wedding day more thoroughly. 

Capture Less Formal Family Photos

It’s nice to have a few photos with your friends and family without boutonnieres and matching outfits. Guest usual look their best but are less ceremonial looking and show more personality at a rehearsal dinner. It’s also nice to have a different location in your photos. 

Finally, let's face it, a professional photographer will document the laughs, tears, and good times like no one else can!
