Key things to think about concerning your wedding photography.
We all know what we like and how we feel about being involved in certain situations. I have had brides and / or grooms tell me that they do not want to pose for any photography? They want the day to be photographed as it happens.
This approach will give us more freedom to enjoy the day but it does rule out some of the photography that would be taken.
I find it is best to listen to the clients and pay attention to what is being said. I do think that it is always nice if we can have some time with the bride or groom during the day to simply feature them. An opportunity to photograph the bride is always a good thing. The men don’t seem to be as involved as their brides when it comes to thinking about wedding photography.
We hear the terms photojournalism and life style wedding photography. Both terms refer to photographing the day with minimal direction from the photographer. Their is also a trend in wedding photography to provide some directed photography, but in a way that it looks natural, unposed and very casual.
If photojournalism is the style desired, their are those moments where you might want a group picture with your immediate family, parents, aunts and uncles or friends. These group pictures can happen spontaneously. These groups are important and we should be careful to make sure they happen. Are there people who you know you must have to make your wedding photographs complete?
When thinking about people who are important to you, discuss these people with your photographer. Make sure your wedding photographer knows who these people are, their importance to you and when he/she might have an opportunity to photograph them.
