Tips for Perfect Wedding Photographs

Cooperation on a location.

If you are getting married and want to get really good wedding photographs, you should cooperate with your wedding photographer.

You have to reserve enough time for a location of your choice. How much time do you need to reserve depend on how many good photos for printing you would like to get.

If you single out 2 hours for a location between a ceremony and a reception, for example.

2 hours is enough for good wedding photos, but you can meet one or a few of the following problems.

Situation 1

The bride finishes her dressing up and last preparations much later (often from 1 hour to 2 hours later).

Situation 2

The groom comes to a bride's house (place of last preparations) very late.

Situation 3

You spent significantly more time near the church after a ceremony just talking to bridal party or relatives.

Finally you and your wedding photographer have only 20-30 minutes for a location, which is not enough even for standard group portraits.

Situation 4

You are worried about the day and checking up all details, deciding last small problems/ questions, giving a call to anyone all the time.

Situation 5

You get phone calls all the time or your guests congratulate you.

Situation 6

You are emotionally exhausted, tired and very worried about being late on a reception, because of guests who wait you to join them.

Formally a photographer have enough time, but can't do his or her job completely. In this case a photographer can make only reportage photos, but people talking on the phone make a lot of different grimaces, facial expressions, gestures, often not very attractive, and absolutely don't pay attention to the wedding photographer.

In conclusion

It doesn't matter how many hours you reserve for locations, please add 2 hours. Please start this important for you day 2 hours earlier. By the end of the day you will understand why.

If you suddenly have a 30 minutes break - it's break for check the bride's makeup, catch a deep breath and just enjoy the day and think how happy you are.

Cooperation on the reception.

There is a paragraph about a cooperation in the photography contract, please read it and say to the bridal party and all relatives and guests who is going to be with you on the big day.

Guests don't read and sign a photography contract, so they don't understand that their behaviour can make any influence to photographer's work and your photographs. It's not a photographer's job to explain guests that they disturb plans and interfere in photography process. It's your responsibility to make your big day perfect.

What you should say to all your guests. Tips for guests.

Guests should give necessary access for a wedding photographer to the couple all the time.

Guests must not pass any plates, cameras, glasses or shaking hands just in front of the photographer's camera, especially in the most important moments, like cutting the bridal cake and the bridal dance, because we can't replay these moments.

If there is a special booster light for the couple, guests must not overlay this light, because it's very important for wedding photographs.

Guest should not ask the photographer to take a portrait of them, especially when he or she is busy with a couple. The photographer will do it in due time, if it's coordinated with the couple.

The picture perfect nature

Here's a way to make two great things at a time: take photos impressive and discovery of nature at the same time.

Photos of nature are currently very documented on the internet, if you are in the nature and photography, you can get popular and get money out of it.

So assuming that you already have a device photo tools, you'll shipping everywhere where you want to: forests, mountains, beaches, deserts etc.... You need to know certain things regarding photographing nature.

First, you need to learn to work with the things see you: the colon, the light (and shadow) and textures and play with them. Combine them as you think is OK, find a good contrast which corresponds with the colors and what are the POP in your head and think it looks good. These rules apply better when it comes to close-ups. If you like the best landscapes, you have to play with the light much, because the Sun move around the Sun and a certain shade of my step be in the same place after 20 minutes.

You will need to then all look long in the vicinity. If you see something in a corner, you are going to watch it closely, that search, down, right, left and then looking behind you, so you won't miss a thing which seems good.

Another rule, you should consider taking a tripod with you. It doesn't matter if you think that you have a strong hand. If it is windy, rain or snow you will be cold, you will mess up.

Another trick for you is before his departure for the photographic expedition, look at photos of nature on the internet, books or journals and find inspiration. Try to find how they did their, what camera applications, they used. But not to copy their work. Well, you are in any event because we speak of nature here.

Keep in mind that there is nothing wrong to get inspired by other photographers as long you add a personal note to the image of nature. What do mean by personal note? I am afraid that you will have to discover for yourself. The only pointer, I can give you is to let your imagination flow.

If you want to explore places that are extremely wild as the jungles or extremely high mountains or caves make sure that you do y only, because if something happens, you can even die there.

If you are photographing wild animals, study their behaviour before going for it. You need to know how to address them without them attack you. In addition, you need to know where you can find and track down for some time, if you want to photograph more of their species. In any case, take some precautionary measures. Take something you defend hunting animals away without killing them. Don't forget, you go on a photographic expedition to take pictures of nature, not hunting.

And finally and most important: make sure you have lots and lots of fun, because nature is a wonderful and miraculous place!
