Ask Away and Find Out
Every wedding couple has their own preferences as to what types of photographs they want. There may be a request to spend special attention on the bride. She may want close-ups of her mother, sister and best friends. He may want some pictures of him and his men before the wedding begins. Some couples may prefer extra pictures that feature wedding flowers or decorations at the reception hall. Wedding photographers can be surprised at times to find out what a couple wants. Instead of guessing, ask away. A couple can provide recommendations in terms of what they want and what they do not want.
Experience Black and White
Color plays a huge part in the life for many people. At the same time, black and white pictures can be an intriguing way to make a statement and have memorable photographs. Not all the pictures have to be of black and white, but some timely decisions can make all the difference in that realm. A black and white photograph can point the viewer to see only the couple or an individual. Such an example is here.
Black and white photographs can be a way to bring a couple back in time when their parents or grandparents had their wedding pictures done the same way. Having wedding photographs done in black and white can be a fun and creative way to celebrate the special day.
Shoot Empty
Wedding pictures are typically filled with people. While that is important, be creative and capture some wedding photographs of specific things before the wedding begins. Capture her gown before she gets into it. Carefully borrow both rings and set them up in a creative way that matches with the theme of the wedding. Highlight the reception hall that is filled with flowers, fine china and popular decorations. A picture or two of where the service will be held is certainly appropriate.
Emptiness can be a wonderful way of highlighting the way things were before the wedding begins.
A Personal Time
Quiet time and reflection is overlooked by people within the wedding party or by guests. After all, the wedding is full of excitement and joy. At the same time, it is good and right to capture some private moments that the bride and groom have by themselves or together. Collect images of her as she is getting ready and is deep in thought. Watch him through the lens as he is tying his tie one final time before he gets married. When left alone for a few brief moments, emotions can be very transparent. Taking pictures during such times can be a wonderful way of capturing feelings when an individual is alone. Furthermore, it can be wise to have the bride and groom share some private time in a secluded room before the wedding begins. While it can a great way to relief stress for the couple to be alone, it enables a wedding photographer to capture a real moment before two individuals become one couple.
A camera does quite an amazing job capturing experiences and priceless moments between people and a special event. Always be ready to feature moments and experiences. With the blessing of the bride and groom, creativity can create some astonishing results.
