When thinking about wedding photography, I have discovered through many years of experience, a number of tips that will help you enjoy your day and at the same time, get the best out of your wedding photography experience.
1. Think About Your Must Get Shots
Before your special day, think about what are the most important elements of the day to you. These wedding photos will become important family records and it is vital that your photographer prioritises the images that YOU want photographed. If this is not thought about, your photographer will capture what they see as the main events.
2. Style
Discuss with your photographer the kind of photography that you like. Many brides ask for a casual photo-journalistic form of photography as they are not keen on posed shots. In truth, a skillful wedding photographer will be able to capture set-up shots that do not look overly posed and wooden. These can then be blended with the candid photography to produce an attractive cross section of photographs which represent both the detail and emotion of the day.
3. Family Group Photos
When it comes to your family group photographs, make certain that you have provided your photographer with a list of the family shots that you want recorded. It is also important that those family members who are on the list know they're required for these images.
I seriously recommend that the family pictures are taken at the the ceremony location where everyone is already gathered. If you leave the family photographs to later , it can be hard to locate everybody quickly which can lead to lost time and stress for everyone.
4. Hair & Make-up
On your wedding day , be sure that your hair and make-up are finished an hour and a half before the ceremony. This way you can relax and capture at you leisure those important photos before leaving your home. Leaving everything to the very end will have impact on what often is a special photographic opportunity.
5. Wedding Emergency Kit
Always pack an emergency kit for the day. This should include still water for the bridal party, a needle and thread kit, scissors, plasters and a rescue remedy - some chocolate or packed sandwiches!
6. Don't be too Late
It is critical to arrive relaxed, and on time at the ceremony location. A few photos taken just before you enter the marriage location are always looked for by brides and these will take between 5/10 minutes to photograph.
7. Personal Photographs
It is most important to give the photographer 15/20 minutes to capture the bride and groom's special shots away from the guests. This can be done as your guests are called for dinner as you have between 20-30 minutes to wait whilst they are seated.
8. Relax and Enjoy
Your marriage photographs will look much better if you're relaxed and having a good time.
The secret is to make some basic plans for your photography and allow for a little photography time. Your photographer will want to produce amazing photographs for you to cherish for the rest of your life - but don't forget, he/she is a photographer, not a magician and they're going to need a little time and some co-operation.
