Bachelorette Party Pictures - Tips
Planning a bachelorette party should include making
sure you or someone take lots of memorable photos,
since it is one of the last times the Bride-To-Be
will officially will be photographed as a single
girl and with her favorite group of friends. We have
included some great bachelorette party picture tips
to share ideas on how to make the bachelorette party
“last night out” recorded in photographs. Below are
our ideas and tips that may help in planning out
what to photograph at bachelorette parties:
General Tips
Prior to the party starting, take pictures of
everything – bachelorette party decorations, food,
signs, gifts and venue so the bride-to-be can see
how cute everything was before the party started.
The Bachelorette may be focused on the people and
not realize how nice everything was until she looks
at the pictures.
For Film Cameras
Make sure you have plenty of memory (if using
digital cameras) or film and extra batteries for the
bachelorette party camera. If your camera has a
timer or remote you can use it while posing for the
picture. If not, see if one of your guests,
neighbors or a helpful lad will snap the picture for
you. It is important to get all the girls together
for some group bachelorette party pictures.
For Digital Cameras
Make sure you have extra batteries and a spare flash
card or two. Take as many bachelorette party
pictures as you can, so you have a better chance of
getting a good one.
-
When taking a group bachelorette picture, have
all the girls move in as close together as
possible before taking the picture. The closer
you can get to your subjects the better. So,
either move closer to your subject or use the
zoom.
-
Try to take pictures of people at eye level.
Also state this to others that you have take the
group shots.
-
Use of a tripod helps a lot, and keeps the
camera steady. We know tripods are not advisable
to take on away bachelorette parties since they
are bulky and can be forgotten at your
bachelorette destination.
-
Position your bachelorettes so they are
illuminated by the best light source in front of
them, not behind them.
-
Be sure to select the best white balance setting
for your camera based on the light source.
-
Back-lit bachelorettes and party goers don't
come out very well and are difficult to see
pictures.
-
If you do use the flash, make sure you are
within its effective range, typically between
six to twelve feet, depending on your camera.
-
Make sure there is not a lot of background
clutter before taking the bachelorette picture.
All too many times there are objects that may
distract from your sassy friends.
-
Try to get in some of the bachelorette party
decorations or bachelorette wearables the
bride-to-be is wearing.
 People & Group Bachelorette Photos
Make sure you take many pictures of the Bride-To-Be
from the moment she enters the party till being the
last one standing (or passed out). Do not take any
photos she will see as embarrassing as it is her
moment and not a time to haze her.
Make sure the
primary person who is taking the pictures is there
before the Bride-To-Be gets to her bachelorette
party. If not, make sure you have a supplemental
bachelorette party camera. Always ask the
bachelorette to take pictures at here last night out
party, as she may not want a documented record of
here bachelorette party activities. Some of our favorite
ideas of taking pictures of the bachelorette are:
-
Take a photo of the bride-to-be at the door
entering the bachelorette party - A great
beginning shot.
-
Every bachelorette party game is a great time
for a photo.
-
Take a picture with the bride-to-be’s and her
friends each individually and in a group.
-
Get a group picture with everyone present at the
bachelorette party.
-
Get some action photos of the bachelorette and
her
bridesmaids drinking and having fun.
-
Always be ready to get a few of her
laughing...You may have to be fast about this.
-
Make sure to get a picture of the Bride-To-Be
opening up all her wonderful and funny
bachelorette party gifts. There are always a few
gag gifts that are funny to catch with a
picture.
-
A
cute picture is to have her at the end of the
day take her shoes off and sit in a chair with
her feet up fanning herself like she is ready to
now get married (or go to sleep).
-
Think about getting the bachelorette a
bachelorette party photo album to house all
the wonderful pictures.
As
for taking pictures of the other bachelorettes, here
are a few helpful tips below:
-
As I stated above, make sure to get the
bachelorettes close together so everyone fits in
group photos.
-
Make sure you have a photo taken of everyone
present that is present. It is fun later for the
Bride-To-Be to see who was present at her last
night out a few months or years later when she
goes through her album. Don’t force
bachelorettes if they don’t want to be in the
pictures for some reason. We had a lawyer and
celebrity who stated they would rather not be in
pictures that involve drinking and we honored
their wishes.
-
As the bachelorette photographer. Be in as many
pictures as you can since you may forget and
take all the pictures with you in none of them
which would be sad for the bride to be later on.
