3 Photo Ideas For Getting Married At A Baseball Game
by Ernest Cox
If you and your soon-to-be spouse are big baseball fans, you might love the idea of getting married at a baseball game. While some couples get married at big league games, this is often more common in the minor leagues, where ceremonies may take place on the field shortly before the start of the game. When you hire a wedding photographer to shoot your big day, you have to remember that there's a good chance he or she hasn't shot a wedding at a baseball game.
To ensure that the photographer gets all of the shots that you want, it's advantageous to brainstorm some ideas together. The photographer can then work through this list, and you'll be able to relax and focus on the important moment at hand. Here are some photo ideas for shooting a wedding in this setting.
1. With Players
While your wedding photographer will shoot a series of standard shots during the ceremony that don't particularly relate to your unique setting, you'll want to be sure to get some images that tie your wedding into the baseball theme. One of the best ways of doing so is to get a few shots with some players. The team's public relations department can likely arrange for a couple of players to join you on the field for some photos, which can really be a highlight for you.
2. Throwing The First Pitch
At some pre-baseball game weddings, the team gives the bride and the groom the honor of throwing out the ceremonial first pitch of the game. This can be a bucket list moment for any baseball fan, and you'll get the chance to stand in front of the mound and throw your best fastball to the catcher. You'll definitely want your wedding photographer to be crouching between you and the plate so that he or she can capture a series of action photos of this big moment.
3. Enjoying Ballpark Food
Sometimes, you might stick around to enjoy at least some of the game that follows your wedding ceremony. If so, you'll want the photographer to continue to snap shots of you. A shot of you both in your formal attire, sitting in the bleachers, can be a fun shot. Another must-have shot is a picture of both of you enjoying some ballpark food. Whether you're each holding a hot dog, sharing a bucket of popcorn, or sipping a couple of cold beers to beat the heat, these photos can be home runs.

About Me
The best way to keep your special memories alive is to hire a professional photographer to capture them as they happen. But after working with hundreds of professionals over the years as a special events planner, I know first hand that not all photographers are created equally. Some can really focus in on their human subjects to capture emotion that comes right out of the photos, while others are more attuned to making the surroundings in a photo stand out like a 3D feature. So I figured that I could help people who are looking to hire a photography find the best possible fit for the occasion that is going to be documented. Learn the right questions to ask, find out what types of skills to look for, and figure out what tools and resources are needed to capture all the details of your special event.
