You hire a photographer for so many different phases throughout the wedding process: the engagement photos, bridal showers, rehearsal dinner, and of course, the big day, so don't leave out the life of the party, the bachelorette weekend!
Having a photographer at your bachelorette party captures all of the memories with your favorite pals, whether it be for the whole weekend, an afternoon of fun, a night out, or a more curated shoot.
Pictures with your squad will be something you cherish for years to come and bring back lots of memories from your once-in-a-lifetime weekend. Plus you can use them to create beautiful thank you gifts for your wedding party.
Tampa Bay photographer, The Gadabouts Captures, specializes in bachelorette party shoots, and the owner, Gabi Mondejar, shares her top tips for creating an Insta-worthy bach party.
Why Should I Hire a Photographer for My Bachelorette Party?
Not having the added pressure of wondering who is documenting the day is so important to so many brides and it lets your ladies off the hook as well. Especially for the bridal party that loves to party, it is such a relief to let loose and know someone has the picture-taking covered.
“When we were a bit too drunk, we still got all the photos to look back on to remember things that we might not have otherwise. Gabi even posed us while we were out drinking so we could still look like models, even while overindulging a little!” Bride Amanda shared.
Not all Bachelorette Parties Need to Be Extravagant
No matter the theme or activities, there is always something to capture. From a chill day at the beach to a night out on the town, every memory has beauty within it to capture. You DON'T need to have some extravagant plan to capture pictures of the fun.
What if Someone is Camera-Shy?
Think of your bachelorette photographer as part of the crew! Whether you hire a photographer for the afternoon or to travel with you for the weekend, there is no reason to act any different than you would if I wasn't there at all. I am just a fly on the wall. When you invest in someone to capture the memories of your time with your closest friends, you are also investing in someone who wants more than anything to get to know the group dynamic.
5 Things Every Great Bachelorette Party Shoot Should Have:
Matching outfits always make for the cutest pictures and make you feel like a true squad.
Cute accessories are perfect as props and so aesthetic.
A creative attitude and trust in the photographer. Be ready for me to throw you into some unique poses that make for the cutest girl gang picture and don't forget to bring your laugh with you!
Last but not least, a dance party or a shot or two never hurt the crew and loosens everyone up!
“Having The Gadabouts Captures come to my bachelorette and join in on all the activities made all the difference! I could truly live in the moment and just focus on making memories with my best friends since I was not worried about who was getting pictures throughout the experience. I would have regretted not having her!”
