Some Important Points Remember in Wedding

Photography

Weddings are a special time for brides and grooms before marriage. It’s a ceremony of

love of the two people, as well as their family and friends. With the evolution of

technology from film era to digital SLR cameras, photographers have more flexibility

and capability to capture the events of the entire course of the day. In this post, I

discovered some suggestions for Photography in which you can get inspirations from the

above so that you can use them in real wedding event without forgetting important things.

Have a frank talk about seeing the bride

Some couples are very serious about the tradition of the groom not seeing the bride

before the wedding day. I like to sit couples down and explain that I really NEED at least

an hour just with the couple (nobody else in the wedding party) in order to get a decent

album together. Once they realize that they need to commit to this much time and see

they can’t fit it in the wedding day plans, they are usually open to doing a shoot the day

before the wedding all dressed up. It gives the bride a chance to try her hair and makeup

out, and you’ll have unlimited time with the couple to nail the wedding photos.

Change lenses for changed expressions

If you notice that you aren’t getting the bride and groom to relax and interact with each

other while you’re taking photos, the best thing you can do is to switch to a longer lens

(like 200mm) and scoot way back. The couple will naturally begin to interact with each

other and you’ll be able to get the shot since you’re out of their way. This is my favorite

way to START a wedding shoot of the couple. By starting far away, they feel like it’s

just them and they can get used to the camera from a distance.

Don’t miss the bride and her siblings, and the groom and his siblings

This is often one of the most treasured photos from any wedding, so don’t miss it!

Be clear about what is included

You don’t want to be in the position as the wedding photographer of needing to fight the

client after the fact (or during!) with what they have and have not paid for. Before the

event, clearly communicate to them what services you are prepared to offer for the price

they pay. Do you include digital files? How many hours of work will you shoot? Are

you going to shoot the reception too? Is there a travel charge? What prints are included?

Will you do an album? Provide answers or face the wrath of bridezilla.

Watch for the little, unexpected moments

Always capture the moments that are unexpected. beyond what is expected. brides love it

when you photographed her sharing a special moment with her parents or a special

moment with her new husband.

Stay calm if you want the bride to be calm

Very few things could occur on a wedding day than for the bride to see that the

photographer is frazzled and appears not to know what he or she is doing. It doesn’t

show much confidence, and you’re likely to make everyone feel uncomfortable and

unhappy if you don’t take charge and get things done.

Pay attention to which kids are whose!

Sheryl Turner wrote in “if the children in the wedding aren’t the children of the couple

getting married there are no need for a million pics of them doing silly things. I have tons

of pictures of our ring bearers who are our cousins. The pictures are cute but I would

rather if she took more pics of the ceremony.

Be spontaneous as the photographer

While you need to be organized and prepared to shoot a wedding, you also can get a lot

of great shots by being spontaneous and seizing shot opportunities as the ideas come to

your mind.

Don’t forget to include elderly family members

A young B&G may not be thinking of the eldest of their family elders in their youthful

exuberance, but may appreciate a photo that includes them as time goes on.
