Wedding photography is a booming industry thanks to social media and the demand for beautiful photos. But what exactly is a moodboard? In this post, we’ll explain why you need a moodboard for wedding photography and how to create one.

What is a moodboard?

A moodboard is a collection of images that are used to communicate ideas and inspiration. It can contain magazine cuttings, outfits, and rings to show what you want in your wedding day images.

As a wedding photographer, I use moodboards often with my clients. I find them useful because they help me easily convey my vision for the day’s look and feel—and also because they allow me more time on the big day itself. (which means less stress for everyone involved).

It can be used to give an idea of what you’re looking for in your wedding day shots.

A moodboard is a great way to give your photographer an idea of what you’re looking for in your wedding day shots. It can also be used to help them understand the general feel and theme of your event, which will allow them to create a shot list that matches the look and feel of your wedding day.

By collecting photos that represent this vision together on one board, it allows you to easily reference your ideas later when discussing how you want things like lighting, color palette and framing handled throughout the day.

A moodboard is a great tool to communicate your vision, especially if you’re looking for photos that represent more than just your wedding day. You’ll want to include magazine clippings, photos of dresses and rings, or anything else that really inspires you and helps communicate the vibe you’re going for.

Why you need to use a moodboard for your wedding photography

If you’re thinking of hiring a professional wedding photographer, it’s time to get started on your research. A good way to do this is by looking at their portfolio and seeing what kind of photography style they have. If you like what they do, ask them for some sample albums from previous weddings that are similar in style and theme as yours. This will help give you an idea of how their work will translate into your wedding.

However, there’s also another important factor that affects whether or not the outcome will be satisfactory: how well the photographer understands your vision for the day. There’s no better way of communicating this than through moodboards.

Things you should consider when creating your own custom photo board

  • Create a moodboard of your favorite things. Think about what you love, and how that can be translated into the space around you. What are your favorite colors? Flowers? Foods? Songs?
  • Think about what’s important to you, and how these things are reflected in all aspects of a wedding day. Your wedding planning checklist should reflect all those things too!

It’s not just about what looks good on paper—it’s also about making sure that everything comes together on the big day, so everyone remembers it fondly forever after!

Common mistakes people make when creating their own wedding photo boards.

As you start to create your own wedding photo board, avoid these common mistakes:

  • Not enough content. The most common mistake when creating wedding photo boards is not having enough content. It’s easy to get carried away and add way more images than necessary, especially if you have a lot of photos from different sources. Make sure that every image contributes something new and unique to your board.
  • Too many colors. This is another common mistake that often occurs when people are creating their own wedding photo boards online or using an app for the first time—they try too hard with all the different colors and end up making their moodboard look like a rainbow! Keep it simple with one dominant color palette throughout your whole board so as not to distract from all those adorable couple moments captured on film (and so that no one gets dizzy!).
