Studio 8′s Top 5 Wedding Tips
top 5 wedding photography tips
1. RELAX! – The best photographs are those where the bride and groom are at ease. You have spent so long planning your big day and probably made sure that your friends and family all have a job – now leave it to them and enjoy yourself and your personality will shine through in the shots!
2. HAVE FUN! – Having fun makes you happy, being happy makes you smile and smiling will make your photographs!
3. PRACTICE – There’s nothing wrong with having a little practice. You will be wearing a very important dress on the day (or suit) and you want to wear it well – maybe take a look in some wedding magazines at how other couples have photographed and see what works for you? However don’t get too ‘posey’ – the more natural the better – its about you!
4. ORGANISE – This applies mainly to the group shots. Time is short at weddings for line ups and so a tight ship is in required! Perhaps nominate an usher or two to be in charge of gathering together the friends and family to the group photographs. This will allow us to concentrate on arranging everyone and achieve the best shots.
5. SPECIAL PEOPLE – Obviously everybody is important at your wedding, however you may have certain friends or family who you just have to have a shot of on the day. Make sure that they are included in the group shots or maybe make a special effort to have a separate photograph with them. Remember, you know who these people are and not your photographer – so be sure to point them out!
