Wedding Photography Tips
Wedding photography has always been something that I have been interested in. I have learned so much throughout the semester about nature and landscape photography, but I wanted to analyze another aspect of photography. This article highlights some of the main tips that photographers should have when doing wedding photography.
The tips include:
Knowing your gear inside and out- The author talks about knowing all of the camera aspects and lenses, just as we have been doing throughout our class. In this section, the author also mentions using a subject for practice when analyzing what poses and what light the cameras and specific lenses work well in.
Scout the Locations- The author talks about going to the site of the wedding or reception to visualize where the subjects would look best in pictures and what the background will look like. This is such a good idea because every place is so different, and if you know the area already, it is easier to situate the photo session which also makes the night go smoothly.
Write a shot list and memorize- The author talks about writing down everything that one would like to get a picture of. There are so many details that g into a wedding that it is easy to miss a certain aspect that was originally wanted. It would be nice to know exactly what you want when going into the shoot.
Assist as much as you can- The author says that the sooner you assist, the more prepared you are. The photographer will get more involved and know what the shoot is capable of capturing.
Shoot a fake wedding- The author says that practicing with a fake wedding is beneficial because one can practice and take many shots without the pressure of everything being perfect.
All of these tips were very helpful, and I would utilize them if I ever began shooting weddings!!
