7 Effortless Ways to Add a Slice of Life to Your Wedding Photos

Most couples would go for a glamourous pre-wedding photoshoot, dressed in a beautiful long wedding gown and impeccable suit, with famous landmarks and sights around the world as their backdrop. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience for most people after all!

At the same time, more and more couples have decided to incorporate a casual session for their pre-wedding albums, going for a more laid-back vibe that showcases the simple joys in life.

Whether you are going for a casual shoot, or are just looking for some unconventional ideas to change up your typical wedding photoshoot, here are some easy ways you can add a touch of daily life into your photos.

1. Have a Cuppa

Being dressed up in a wedding gown and suit doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy something as simple as a cup of coffee. Why not take a short break in a warm little cafe between your shooting locations while adding a few slightly unconventional shots to your album?
