Expert advice
When taking pictures of babies, it is worth considering the appropriate props for the photo shoot, for example toys, books. Equally interesting photographs can be taken both at home and outdoors, especially if the weather is warm and sunny. It must be remembered that children do not pose and will not be able to stay in one place for a long time. But this is not so important. The most important thing is their spontaneity, and only a good photographer will be able to convey all the naturalness of children’s movements and facial expressions. When starting to shoot, you need to play with your child.
Balloons and kite
A photo shoot with balloons is doomed to success. A few cheerful colorful balloons or elegant plain ones will add a new dimension to your photo walk. Such props look especially impressive in the rays of the setting sun. More detailed ideas for using balloons at a wedding walk are outlined in the article at this link .
Kites are another romantic attribute. Do you remember how much joy and delight its launch brought in childhood? To this day, kites evoke childhood emotions when you raise your head and see them in the sky.
Attributes for a winter wedding
In winter, photo sessions are usually held indoors. But if you want to capture bright photos against the backdrop of a snow-white winter landscape, you can use, for example, huge bundles of many snow-white balls, which will create the illusion of large snow flakes, or you can beautifully frame a photo in a sleigh with three bays.

It is not necessary to plan a large amount for wedding photo attributes and order them from special workshops. For a budget option, you can make original sets yourself, showing your taste, humor and talents.
How to make your own design
It’s quite easy to make props for a photo shoot yourself. You can create three-dimensional letters for wedding photographs, a costume for baby pictures, or a crown. Let's look at the latter in more detail. In order to get a beautiful golden rim, you will need the following material. Wire, scissors, five gold leaves, paper, hairband. You will also need a heat gun. First, you need to cut out the leaves from paper. You will get a stencil eight centimeters long. It must be attached to a gold sheet and cut out along the contour of the finished figure. The blanks can come in different sizes and shapes, but be sure to make two of the largest ones, their length will be ten centimeters. You need to wait until the heat gun heats up and use it to fix everything on the wire on the wrong side of the rim.
To prevent decorative elements from interfering with your ears, they must be attached at a distance of eight centimeters from the edge on both sides. You need to work carefully so that the gluing area is not noticeable. During the manufacture of the accessory, you must periodically try on the headband. Finally, you can complement the product with beads. Thus, it turns out to be a wonderful prop for a photo shoot, and little time is spent on its creation. There is no need to purchase a ready-made item or rent it in order to take a beautiful photo.
Order from a specialist
Not all people are exclusively occupied with digital artifacts; there are still craftsmen capable of making wonderful products with their hands: from wood, metal, paper and the most unimaginable materials. Perhaps there is such a master in your circle? If not, look on the Internet: they are on social networks, many have their own websites, many are registered on specialized Internet portals (such as “Masters Fair”).
You will be offered ready-made products, and you can order something according to your individual project.
We were lucky: we found a master among our friends. He does amazing things with wood, an example can be found here. If you need contact information for a master, please contact us.
Mustaches, crowns, hats
Even a child can handle this type of decor. If the baby already knows how to use scissors, then he can be trusted to make small paraphernalia for photos.
What we need:
- thick colored paper or cardboard;
- wooden sticks or skewers;
- glue.
The manufacturing process is extremely simple - we print out the templates, trace them on cardboard, cut them out and glue them to skewers. The attributes can also be additionally decorated with sparkles, bows, and beads.
Outdoor photography
The area for a photo shoot in nature can also be selected in advance. If the wedding is planned outside, you can decorate the place not only with traditional balloons, textiles or flowers. Sets for a photo shoot for an outdoor wedding may include voluminous elements, for example, in the shape of a large heart. These can also be letters displaying the initials of the young people , or entire inscriptions, for example: “Love”, “Wedding”, made in a color contrasting with the outfits of the young people, almost full-length or taller. They are made from plywood, plastic and even foam and painted in white, red or other bright colors.
Photo of plastic inscriptions love
Large rings, figurines of swans, and stars will look original. An unusual idea could be a huge barn lock with the inscription “Happiness” and a separate key for it, which the young people can hold in their hands. Such voluminous blanks can be arranged in any order, choosing different landscapes - the compositions will look very exclusive, especially against the backdrop of emerald grass. And in the evening, you can add extravagance with garlands or LED illumination of letters in the counter-openwork style.
