One of the latest fashions in the type of wedding invitation you can send out to announce your big day, are the new photo wedding invitations. Since digital photography is now standard in most homes and also the development of the internet has come in leaps and bounds that let customers upload and edit invitations on line, it is now possible to create wedding invitations that are far most personalized to suit every part of your wedding. Adding a photograph of yourself with your husband/wife to be, makes the perfect wedding invitation that will be treasured forever by all of the guests and can be kept as a gorgeous keepsake of the wedding day.

When it comes to choosing a photographer to take photos for your photograph wedding invitations, you don’t need to go all out and get a professional wedding photographer. This could cost a lot of money and ultimately, for your wedding invitations with photo, you really only require one good photo.

So you could perhaps do one of the following:
- ask a friend with a good SLR camera to take some shots of you at home against a clear plain background
- or perhaps choose another location like the park, or the beach if you are intending on a beach wedding
- ask a local school photography student to do a photo shoot for you. That would save you money and get them some experience.
- or ask your chosen wedding photographer to do up a package which would also include the pre wedding shoot, so that a photograph of this day can be used on the invitation

When it comes to choosing a wedding photographer, other than price, the personality of the photographer is the biggest component that you need to look at. You don’t want to be feeling intimidated  during the shoot by someone who you don’t get on with. You want them to be the type of person who can direct you to pose, without making you feel like a rag doll and make sure that your smiles are natural and reflect your personalities.
