Before we get into the must-have photos to keep in mind for an intimate wedding some other basic things that you should also consider moving forward with this will help you in getting absolute foolproof and beautiful images of your big day.

• Keep a budget from the get-go

Even if you are planning an "at home in your backyard wedding" it's still a good idea to stick to a budget in all your aspects. It helps you envision your spendings and allocate funds accordingly.

• Outdoor all the way

Weddings at home can get cramped up especially if it isn't in a farmhouse. Always keep in mind to have ample light (sunlight/natural light) and space on your side. If you have a backyard or a terrace then make use of it. Natural light results in beautiful images automatically. A well-lit venue ensures you have good memories so make sure that your ceremony is either in the morning or sunset hours to use the good soft and golden light.

• Decor Elements

It's a good idea to have a professional wedding planner or decorator help you with the budget you have. Although many couples go the DIY way but getting professional help will make sure you have complementary colors, good placement and also will take the stress away.

And now the list of pictures that you gotta keep in mind for an intimate wedding setting lets begin,

• Getting ready moments

This goes for both the bride and the groom, this is a special time on the big day where you have some time to yourself with all the makeup and hair and lehenga and jewellery going on, get it documented as it makes for good memories

• The Accessories

It's a good idea to document your fineries from the big day, the lehenga that you spent days searching, the heirloom jewelry, the shiny pair of shoes, and the wedding rings.

Make sure you set some time aside for your portraits alone and separately before the ceremony.

As you will have your closest family it would be great if you keep a slot for pictures with them as they will be great for your photo album.
