4 Simple Tips To Capture The Best Wedding Pictures
If you are reading this article, it means that most definitely you have searched and found your wedding photographer through Specialens.
Is this the end of the story?
You guessed right. There is much more than just signing a contract with your wedding photographer. Finding your wedding photographer is not just a matter of style and money, but it is a matter of time. If you want your wedding day to be captured as you have ever dreamed of, just follow these simple tips:
1. Develop a close connection with your wedding photographer:
You must be comfortable with your wedding photographer and familiar with his approach to photography. You can set up meetings with him/her or even via emails to develop a close relationship. Seeing your wedding photographer as a friend, rather than a service, is very important in achieving the best possible results.
2. Act normal:
The most difficult part not just for a wedding but for any kind of photography it's to act normal. How many times have you looked at pictures and just hated them? Most people are not used to have people shooting at them; imagine how they would feel surrounded by professional equipment. The 1st tip comes in hand here. If you are not posing for the camera, you must be yourself, relax and behave casually as if thephotographer isn’t there. Pay attention, not so much though, to your body movements because the body language reveals how comfortable you are in front of the camera. A typical mistake grooms do when posing is either they have their hands in their pockets or they are holding a glass close to their body. Act normal whether you are posing or not.
3. Communicate:
Communicate with your fiancé, a lot! You need to be in charge of your man at all times. Men tend to avoid pictures so they need your help to get over this problem. Since most men will not even know who the wedding photographer is the day of your wedding, prepare him of what they should expect. Set the scenery and choose what pictures you would like tobe taken by showing them some wedding magazines or some pictures of another wedding. Communicating with your photographer is also very important. Expectantly, you chose the wedding photographer that matches your style so you know you are on the same page. However, you still need to discuss with him what you exactly want and hear some opinions and ideas from a professional.
4. Enjoy your wedding day:
This might seem as common sense, but most brides forget to have fun in their most special day. All the anxiety and anticipation is taking away all of the fun. If you feel you have a lot of duties or you feel very nervous about planning and following yourwedding plan, you can always hire a wedding planner.
