subject: In Relation To Wedding Photography [print this page] "Everyone should not look at wedding photographs as just images of someone or something printed on a piece of paper. They are a way to relive the wonderful memories of the day two people vowed to be together as one. This is why wedding photography should be taken seriously. Having a camera is not enough and knowing how to take pictures won't do it either. The important thing is for you to know how to capture very essential aspects as being a wedding photographer.
When working, you should be professional. You should dress to impress and you should carry yourself in a professional approach. Provide the bride and groom samples of previous photography works and discuss with them what they expect and how you can deliver quality outputs to them.
You should also be like a Scout - always prepared! This means that you should have everything ready before the actual date. Nowadays, photographers use digital cameras because they are much more convenient to use compared to other types of cameras. But you should have a back up camera just in case the other one suddenly jams. Make sure that your batteries are fully charged and bring spare batteries and adequate memory devices, lenses you will be using, lighting, extra bulbs, tripods and any other things that you will be needing.
Know the place and the flow of the wedding program. Knowing what moments to capture or what pictures to take is also very important. But you should focus on the bride and the groom. They are your top priority. Next up would be their family members and close friends and then the guests. Take as many pictures as you can. Overshooting is better than undershooting. Since you are using digital cameras, you won't lose anything and you will have many choices on what to print. Be sure that the date you agreed on delivering your work will give you enough time to produce high-quality work because your reputation will depend on it.
Take photos carefully. Make sure that you adjust the lighting and the camera functions if needed so that you can produce great photos. Use flash when necessary but remember that they aren't usually allowed in the church, so make sure that you ask whether or not you are allowed to. Make sure you double check your work before submitting the photographs to your clients.
