A Wedding Photography Planning Guide: All About Wedding Reception Photographs 

Hey y'all! My name is Lissa Chandler and I'm a creative wedding + portrait photographer based in Fayetteville, Arkansas who has been shooting weddings since 2011. And this wedding photography podcast? It's got all the answers to FAQs about wedding photography! Get so excited cause this limited series is a blast! 

Can’t wait to chat with you about photographs during your wedding reception! 

Questions We’ll Cover Today Include:

  • How Can We Make Our Reception - and Reception Photos! - Fun?
  • Do We Need a Band or DJ?
  • Should Photographers Stay For The Whole Reception?
  • Should We Do Garter and Bouquet Tosses?
  • Do Photographers Still Take Table Shots?
  • When Do Photographers Eat Dinner?
  • Are There Any Reception Moments That Won’t Be Photographed?

Want to know this episode in one quote? Wonderful! I’ve got you!

"Like with all things, remember that your wedding reception is whatever you want it to be. While I love photographing a wedding reception with a ton of dancing, I’m super aware that this isn’t the best fit for everyone. Plan a reception that you’d want to party at! Is that a big lawn full of games? A chill cookout? A super glam Vegas style party? All of these sound so good to me! 

If you hire a photographer whose goal is to capture the personality of your day, they are going to be down to photograph whatever your day brings. I’ve said it so many times and will say it again: Your wedding day is a celebration of YOU. Just the two of you. Plan a reception you’ll freaking love! And your wedding reception photographs? They’ll show this!"
