4) Long Exposure Photography
An undeniably beautiful photo effect, long exposure photos can be really, really fun to create! Just picture the scene: the couple stands perfectly still staring lovingly into each others eyes…and the best man has to whiz around them with a sparkler (bonus points if he tries to make the couple laugh with massive, exaggerated dance moves).

We love this photo, as we can just tell by looking at it that the couple must be really fun people!
