During the shooting sessions, you will have his picture alone, and with the groom and his family and friends. You will kill nearly full length, and from afar. You will see the capture and his personal energy and mood. More importantly, you will have the happiness of his capture both as a person and a wife. You pass it to an advanced stage of preparation. However, this careful preparation can be the first time. Here are 12 tips for achieving that success.
1. Talk to the bride.
Spend time discussing the wedding day photo session with her. Also, if possible, take some photos of her and husband before the wedding day to help train this relationship. This combined effort will produce reliable planning and lands on the big day.
2. Clean, triple control, and know your equipment.
Failure of equipment is the biggest killer of wedding photos. A trigger can stick or a bad battery instantly without warning. Have emergency equipment at hand and ready. Also, know your equipment combined with better parameters (for example, aperture size, shutter speed, brightness and strobe) for all conditions that you encounter during these sessions. Stick with these settings so you can focus on the bride herself. In addition, the use of camera and lighting equipment that loads and fires easily.
3. The use of lighting available.
The natural light gives a strong atmosphere size photos of marriage. If the weather is rather cool, turn his covered porch or a soft shade of trees where natural lighting is available. However, if these plans must be made inside alone, then use an atrium, a window or door glass, or a chandelier or opera for candle lighting available. Most professional photographers are masters at blending lighting available with strobe lighting. This skill like wives when they see the pictures.
4. Keep it simple.
This tip applies to all other advice above and below. By nature, photography is complex with numerous technical and artistic details to consider. Do not go beyond what you or your equipment can be done easily.
5. Use a few accessories.
It's okay to get the big bang is the big church altar outdoors or Vista with the bride and her dress posed in it. However, these plans may affect the bride to a certain extent. Simplification plans are equally convincing. Photo next to his beautiful piece of furniture, a guardrail or wooden staircase, a brick or marble column, exotic or shrub or flower garden. Try placing his hand on or near some accessories while explaining what you are doing. If necessary, take a little practice plans to relax it. Then, as she took her wedding day itself, click, take the photo quick.
6. Try controlled humour.
Few marriages are totally serious. A slight humor is well received, and often the subjects relax. But do not make the weight of a joke that if necessary, although this ploy will work properly. For example, you might try something similar at the tip if your next session is tense. While aiming your camera to the wife or his group, let your trousers all of a sudden drop to your ankles, exposing a large pair of baggy white bloomers with lip-shaped lipstick on all draws. Make sure you have an assistant with you if you try it.
7. Be yourself.
If you're not a comedian, nice and sincere. Brides are understanding. They will respond to your sincerity with sincere poses.
8. Expect interruptions.
The bride is never alone on her marriage. She is the star. Everyone is talking to her, including hiring and help the photographer. Interruptions May break your shooting schedule slightly, but they relax his own. Keep smiling.
9. Look for natural features.
If the bride is a farmer or rancher, take a few shots near a barn, a tractor, wood fence, or with his horse. If it is a body builder, project its power in a coup or two. No biceps please, or boudoir.
10. Never miss a favorite relative or friend.
Sometimes a favorite aunt, uncle, grandparent, friend or not arrive until halfway through the reception after the ceremony. Be sure of this photo guest with the bride, even if it is slightly disheveled to celebrate. If, for whatever reason, the bride can not be photographed at the time, take a picture of the special guest alone against a plain background. Then, later, have the laboratory digital insert this image in another photo of the bride or her group.
11. Make a list of ball in advance.
Before marriage, write a proposed list of plans. Wherever possible, a study of the wedding album to learn what shots are important. Include the wife of your suggestions on earlier discussions with her. Take all the shots on the list. Also, be ready to add new ones, or to change the order in which the list is actually taken. Such a list might include the following elements.
Bride Alone

12. Repeat sessions in your mind.
For Card-fire your ideas more clearly, visit the house, the church building, reception area, or any place where the photos will be taken on the wedding day.
