Hey party people! Planning a wedding and dreaming of a dance floor that’s bursting with energy and moves that could rival a music video? Well, you’re in for a treat! I’ve got the inside scoop on turning your dance floor into a scene straight out of a rom-com. And guess what? Your candid wedding photographer is here to capture every twirl, dip, and drunken finger-point. Let’s get this dance party started!
Set the Mood with the Right Tunes
The key to a lively dance floor? Killer tunes! Work closely with your DJ or band to create a playlist that’s a mix of crowd-pleasers and personal favourites. Throw in some unexpected gems to keep everyone on their toes.
The First Dance:
Your first dance sets the tone for the night. Make it memorable, whether it’s a classic slow dance or a surprise choreographed number. As a candid wedding photographer i will be ready to capture it all!
Encourage Group Dances
Kick things up a notch with group dances. Line dances, conga lines, or even a flash mob—these are surefire ways to get everyone involved and giggling. Bonus: it makes for fantastic candid shots!
Embrace Themed Dance Sets
Transport your guests to different eras or musical genres with themed dance sets. From ’80s hits to disco fever, these themed moments add variety and excitement. I Love nothing more than snapping shots of everyone getting into the groove.
Keep the Libations Flowing
A well-hydrated guest is a happy dancer. Ensure your bar is well-stocked with favorite libations, and consider signature cocktails to add a personal touch. A happy crowd is a dancing crowd, and your candid wedding photographer will catch the joy in every sip.
Get the Bridal Party Involved:
Your bridal party is there to support and celebrate with you, so put them to work! Encourage them to hit the dance floor early and often. Their infectious enthusiasm will have everyone following suit, and your candid wedding photographer will capture the camaraderie.
Create a Comfortable Dance Space
Comfort is key. Ensure your dance floor has enough space for everyone to let loose without feeling cramped. A spacious dance floor means more twirls, more dips, and more opportunities for your candid wedding photographer to capture those magic moments.
Props, Props and More Props!
Confetti canons, Glow sticks, fun costumes, silly hats! Providing props is a sure-fire way to jazz up the dance floor. From glow-in-the-dark accessories to wigs, these are a fun additions to transforming a good time into an amazing one!
Make sure EVERYONE knows it’s a priority for you!
Tell people you want a packed out dance floor! Tell your wedding co-ordinators,your DJ/ Band, your photographer, videographer, & your wedding party- that way we can all work together to happen.
A great way to tell your guests is making it clear on your invites that the party is a priority. Get them to pick their fave song that will get them dancing? This is a great way to create a playlist at the same time!
Play some bangers from the off!
Most couples book their photographers until the 1st dance. I love the candid photos you can get from the dance floor so if its going off after the first dance, chances are i will hang around for a bit. Of course i do offer a package for me to stay until the party ends, so if you want all the drunken shenanigans from the night this package may be for you!
Remember, the dance floor is where memories are made and joy is contagious. So, lace up those dancing shoes, crank up the volume, and let the celebration begin! Your candid wedding photographer is ready to seize the moment, ensuring you have a visual diary of the dance floor that’ll make you smile for years to come. Happy dancing!
