No newlywed sets out to take photos like these. And yet, somehow – through the coercion of a fancy photographer with a glossy book full of happy, married couples – they all find themselves smooshing cake into their partner’s face for the camera.
These are the 11 types of wedding photos that every newlywed has in their album. Look familiar?
1. The horizontal bride, because why should the groomsmen be left out of the action?
2. The running shot (this is highly practical when you’re wearing a tulle meringue)
3. The ‘dress hanging in the window’ looking purrrrdy pic.
4. The ‘gotcha’ shot for all those women who ‘snagged’ a man. Ugh.
5. The cigar shot (AKA the ‘I’m a man, so I’d best give myself cancer to maintain the low life expectancy of my gender… grrr, manliness’ shot)
6. The ‘swept off my feet, literally’ shot.
7. The ‘Oh, goodness – is that a photographer? Well, we’d best kiss behind these flowers then. There’s nothing more shameful than kissing in public on your wedding day. How showy.’
8. The group jump. Where inevitable someone mistimes their take-off and one gets serious air.
9. The ‘Do we even know each other? Or are we just beautiful hipster strangers staring at a camera?’
10. The ‘food fight because we’re so cute!’
11. The ‘Oh, look! A vintage bike!’ shot
What’s the cliche wedding photo that gets your goat? Are you guilty of any of the above (don’t worry, we all are!) Any more to add to the list?

Happy to say we didn't do ANY of those shots. In fact we had very few posed shots at all, mostly just candid photos of ourselves and our guests having a good time.
Thank goodness I didn't endure any of these forced photos on my shedding day. We had some good family friends take our photos (they were happy to and we paid for their overnight accomodation). The photos were lovely and warm and reflected on who we were as a couple because they knew us. I was very lucky.
