You are a Bride in search of the perfect wedding photographer to capture the biggest day of your life. There are so many choices out there and you don’t even know where to begin. What is important and what isn’t? Learn the professional wedding photographer’s tips and tricks. There are three key considerations to take into account when getting great wedding photographs – light, locations and a good attitude. Once you have your wedding venue booked, you should look for your perfect photographer straight away. Make sure to decide on a budget early and what is important to you. If you need a second shooter great, but would you prefer an album if your budget doesn’t stretch to both? Ask your photographer about the editing of the photographs afterwards and the digital resolution format. Brief your photographer on the style you want and review photography galleries online to get a feel for what you like. Don’t go overboard on the processing though, as you may regret it in later years. Timing is key and ideally you should draw up a detailed itinerary of the day. Check your travel time to and from the venue if you have a specific photography location in mind. Always overestimate time by at least 10% as you will find you will need it. Have water and snacks on hand so you can take a rest throughout the day. Choosing your location is important but be realistic to how long it takes to get there. Don’t be tempted to take photographs on a red carpet as they can cause a red glow on the skin and always have a backup location just in case. Avoid the full force of the sun where possible. The best way to be when posing for photographs is to relax and smile. Focusing on your partner and bridal party will help you do this. For Brides, make sure to get a makeup and hair trial in advance and see what it looks like on camera so you are happy with it. Be yourself and be natural, this always works best.
