Wedding Photography Tips that keep EVERYONE happy!
Wedding planning by its very nature keeps everyone involved on high stress alert where each little detail seems emotionally charged. Nowhere is this more evident than with the Photography. Each bride should feel like a princess from when she awakes the day of the wedding till she falls asleep that night.
Preparation is absolutely essential to making sure the wedding turns out to be a success. In fact, you might spend as much time scouting venues and talking with the couple beforehand as you actually do in shooting their wedding.
You must know your equipment inside out. You must understand how it works and how to make instant changes to cope with unforeseen circumstances. At Aimee Rossi Wedding Photography, we always have a spare camera and batteries, and make sure the batteries are fully charged.
If you’re able to, get with the Bride as early as you can (make an appointment so they are expecting you). Take your time and get some shots of the Bride and mother getting ready, the bridesmaids and even set up a few mock shots of them leaving the house. This stops you from getting in the way when they actually do leave
During the ceremony, try and get shots from as many different angles as possible, without being intrusive.
During the reception, you’ll at least want pictures of the cake, the bride and groom entering, and each set of parents entering the hall. After that, candid shots of everybody relaxing are great.
If doing the formal photos after the ceremony it is a good idea to do the largest groups first as well as the Bride’s family first so they can host the beginning of the reception as soon as possible. Also, if there are very young children in the formal family photographs, it is wise also to get these done right away as children will tend to get cranky and restless.
Reception – This is where it is extremely helpful to get the timeline from the couples. Some receptions start with the couple being announced into the room and then they do their first dance. Some start with a welcome toast from Dad followed by the Best Man and Maid of Honor Toast, then a blessing and then the buffet or dinner. Others may have scheduled the toasts after dinner before or after the cake cutting. The first dance can happen between courses or before or after the cake cutting.
Spend as much time as possible preparing for, and practicing, before the wedding. Buy books that deal with wedding photography. Take the book out and do practice photo sessions.
Consider having a “backup” photographer taking snap shots throughout the day. This is a touchy bit of advice and must be handled carefully. You don’t need several photographers taking hundred’s of pictures throughout the day and getting into each other’s way. However, it would be nice to know that some images are being captured by someone else throughout the day on a separate camera. Some people might have a friend work as their “assistant” and might loan the friend their “backup” camera to use during the day. Or, you might ask a friend who has a camera to take photos on their camera throughout the day. On the other hand, if you know guests will have cameras and be taking pictures throughout the wedding, you might not need to ask any one in particular to shoot some backup for you.
Choosing a photographer is a big decision. It is important to select someone who will capture the moments that give your pictures the charm and feelings you come to expect when investing in a photographer. Aimee Rossi Photography dedicates itself to capturing your priceless moments…one shot at a time. A photographer needs to be flexible, creative, and able to work with individuals and groups to bring out that “extra” touch. As your photographer, I guarantee that you will be pleased with the high quality in the pictures you receive. You can be confident choosing Aimee Rossi Photography because I shoot all my own work and do not hire out assistants to cover my assignments.
