You only get one wedding day, so you want to make sure that the day is properly commemorated with amazing photographs. Use these tips to ensure that your wedding photographs are the best they can possibly be:
Don’t Go for the Cheapest Deal
When you go for the cheapest deal, you’re not looking for the best value for money. Having good photographer is all about having the best value for money. When you go cheap, you might end up regretting your decision in terms of quality and the service!
Research Photographers
It goes without saying that you need to do your research on the best photographers in your area. Read reviews and ask for recommendations to find a photographer that suits your needs down to the ground. Most wedding photographers will have portfolios you can look at too. If they don’t, don’t even go there!
Discuss Your Needs
You’ll need to discuss your needs with the photographer. Hopefully, they’ll be able to give you some ideas for your pictures and tips on looking great!
Make a Shot List
Make sure you create a shot list so that the photographer can check them off as they go along. They’re not psychic, so don’t automatically assume that they’ll get that picture with you and your grandfather. Write down every single picture you can think of that you’d like on the day so that nothing gets left out.
Find Places to Pose
Having the right setting is important for your pictures, so make sure you’ve found places to pose. The location you’ve chosen to be married might be just fine, or you may have found somewhere in your area that you’d love to snap a couple of pictures for the album.
Remember The Little Details
Don’t forget to request that the little details get photographed too, such as the rings and even your bridal hair! You’ll want to remember all of this, as silly as it may seem at the time.
Be Humorous
There are plenty of ideas online for taking humorous wedding photographs, so make sure you take a look and see if there’s any you like. You could end up with an album that makes people tear up and laugh all at once!
Take Candid Shots
Make sure you hire a second photographer (or family member), or request that your photographer take candid shots too. The candid shots are when everybody is at their most relaxed, and you can really capture the moment without it feeling too posed or artificial. You’re bound to find some really moving pictures that you love this way! Don’t stress about everything being perfect.
Providing you pick a good photographer who knows how to work their camera and the light, you should end up with some amazing pictures to remember your special day. If you go for a cheap photographer, you’ll usually get what you pay for. Leave a comment below if you have any ideas for amazing pictures on your wedding day!
See you soon!
