Important Tips Before Photographing Wedding

01 # Chat with customers

In order for your work to be as close to what you want, you need to do a photo briefing .

It is nothing more than a document where you record everything that has been agreed with customers. By talking to them, you ensure that the interpretation is clear to everyone.

So it's a super important time for the professional photographer to understand things like:

Where will the wedding / party be? 
How is the lighting of the place: natural or artificial?
How many guests?
What moments can not miss the records?
What do they want people to feel when they see the pictures?
Also, take the opportunity to absorb as much information as possible about them and the expectation they are having about the occasion, so also consider questions directed at each couple.

Also talk about wedding album layout , this will give you more perspective than you want.

02 # Train and search more photos

Now that you have your customer's opinion, it's time to search for more inspirations, organize all the photos that will be taken and compare the ideas of the couple with yours to make it harmonious.

For beginners, another important point is training, as the saying goes, "Practice makes perfect . " However, this tip also applies to those who are experienced in wedding photography, ok?

Eventually, as you find interesting references, back up all of them, organized into folders.

They will certainly do for some time, even if not exactly for the next time.

03 # Plan ahead

The first step to keeping everything in order is to know the space you will be photographing and already know the photos that will be taken. Once this is set, you will also know what equipment will be needed .

Then make a checklist with questions to remember all equipment and specific details:

What lenses will I need for wedding photography? Also think about the focal length .
What extra materials will be needed?
What locations will the photos be made of? Will artificial light be needed?
When shooting, you should be sure of your work, the steps to be taken, your posture and even your clothing.

As accustomed as you are, when you get things over time, you end up popping your head with concerns that should be focused on other things.

So planning is a fundamental step, even to reassure you.

Top Ideas for Creative Wedding Photography

04 # Light Painting to delight

The light painting is an easy and practical technique that leaves the stunning photos . Great idea for photographing weddings at night.

To take such a photograph, you have to apply the long exposure .

For those who don't know, just increase the shutter time, so that the picture is taken longer than usual.

Thus, the bride and groom should be positioned while a third person with some light source (flashlight, led, candle…) draws the desired effect.

Because the shutter is open longer, all movements made with the light are recorded in the image while the bride and groom are still. These are clicks worthy of an image bank .

05 # Different angles to resignify

Trying to photograph wedding from different angles is an unusual way that the photographer can do to bring a big difference in the photos.

So also try to risk yourself in positions you never thought of before. After all, the photography market is lacking in professionals who escape the norm.

So bend down, tilt, turn upside down, climb in places for a top view…

Believe me, sometimes the best photos come from the most disruptive ideas.

Use different angles to creatively photograph the wedding How about this photo with the impression that the tree is part of the record?

06 # Be aware to surprise

The magic of wedding photos also consists of photographing unplanned moments. Big photography contests are won this way.

So, this is where the talent of the professional comes in: there are no tips besides "be aware" and "feel the feeling".

So watch people, feel the moments to come and look for smiles and looks. After all capturing feelings goes far beyond poses.

 The photographer needs to be alert to be able to photograph spontaneous looks and smiles during the wedding party.

How about a professional album to close with a golden key?
