Photography tips....
8.
Be organised
 Formal pictures are still requested at most
weddings although it is
getting less popular.
Make sure that you schedule the formal pictures straight after the
wedding at the
church or register office in the venues grounds or at a nearby park.
Another option is to schedule the formal
pictures at the Reception / Party venue if there is some outside or
indoor space suitable.
Then you can let your guest go ahead to the reception/party venue when
you (the Bride and Groom) go first for your location pictures.
The
advantage is that there will be enough time for your guests to make
their way to the reception / party venue and have refreshments.
When you arrive everyone will be relaxed to do quickly some formal
group shots
after which you can get back to the rest of the day.
 If you want formal group pictures, make
a list of groups for the photographer before the
wedding.
Make sure that
everyone knows where you expect them for the formal group pictures.
Try to keep the number of formal group shots to a minimum.
Ask one of the ushers
or someone else who knows the party to round up the different family
members and friends for
the groups so nobody has to wait around too long and the photographer
can quickly organise the
groups and get these pictures done without people getting bored.
9.
The important people
Who
are the parents and grandparents of the bride and groom?
Make sure your photographer knows who the important people are. When
the
photographer has to guess he is bound to have a lot of nice pictures of
your aunt and uncle because he mistook them for your parents.
10.
Leave
time for some location photography
 Take
out some time to have some pictures taken away from the crowds.
There are so many possibilities: Enjoy a stroll
along the beach, drink champagne at a great view point, go to your
favourite bridge in the city, there are endless possibilities.
Choose a photographer who is willing to do this and has the confidence
and experience to make the most of this opportunity, and turn this in
some stunning pictures.
Ask your
photographer for ideas, and maybe to scout for locations before the
wedding day.
11.
Go for Quality
Trying
to find a cheap photographer is bad economy which you will regret
later. Make sure you go for the best quality you can afford.
Look at the quality of photography and look at some
real albums the photographer has produced.
12. Go for an
engagement
shoot
An engagement shoot is a great way to get to know your photographer
before the wedding, this
will make you more confident and relaxed on your wedding day.
These location lifestyle shoots will give you some great pictures which
could be used for invitations or for
a custom guests book to sign at your wedding
reception or 'thank you' cards. Outdoor Portrait Photography is perfect for this.
