It is the duty of the wedding photographer to capture the precious moments and create a great album of wedding photographs and hand it over to the couple. In this article I am going to state some of the important tips for taking good photographs of the most cherished occasion in one’s life. Practising these techniques will help one to reduce the chances of great mistakes which often take place in the life of photographers.

Wedding photography is a challenge

Weddings   is  a one -time event. There is no chance of retake or reshooting as it happens only once at a pre-determined time.  So every possible step has to be taken for making it free from errors. Dealing with the bride and her family members is often the most stressful matter in wedding photography.  After signing the contract one should read it again and understood what are the conditions and terms included in the contract. This will help one to avoid glitches after the completion of the shooting. Another thing to be   decided is the number of portraits that has to be taken. This has to be discussed in advance and included in the contract.

Wedding photographer should be knowledgeable regarding the dos and  do nots  related to wedding photos before starting the shooting process. For this he should have worked under a veteran wedding photographer for sufficiently longer period.  Such person should understand that his duty is only to assist a professional photographer in the early days of his career. Through this experience he should learn the important techniques a wedding photographer should know.

Hiring wedding rental services

A wedding photographer should check regularly and ascertain that his gadgets are working    properly. We advise the wedding photographer to arrange one additional camera, lights and lens so that you remain prepared to face any unforeseen circumstances that may arise.

It will not be good if a professional photographer is having the habit of saying excuses for his failures. To avoid this, one should always be carrying  extra memory cards, batteries etc so that it can be replaced in case of any emergency  occurring due to the fault of the existing accessories.  It will be better if you can back up the photos in real time on a laptop or any other convenient storage device so that any type of data loss can be avoided.

It will not be really nice for the wedding photographer to move alone when going out for carrying out wedding photography. In any case, one cannot carry all the accessories alone. A helping hand is unavoidable for properly carrying out wedding photography.  One assistant is needed to fix the lights, taking the test shots and for taking real time wedding  photos in your absence. A person who accompanies you as an assistant can become the second shooter in the next event or when he is fit for that. In this way one can get a good wedding photographer assistant capable of carrying out the entire work in your absence,.

Pre plan the shoot

The entire shooting plan for the wedding has to be pre planned.  Additional photos have to be taken of the bride and the groom in different locations. It will be better if you can give the couples some training during the planning session.  The couples can be allowed to choose their posses and this can be included in the contract itself. Extra instructions can be given how to capture the best shot.  A wedding photographer has to be very patient with the newlyweds.

There will be different kinds of guests in a wedding.  Neighbors, relatives, colleagues, friends and others are among the guests. It will be necessary to discuss with the couples about the guests and mark the VIPs among them. Try to make fine portraits of these VIPs. Knowing their names will help them to be comfortable during the photo session.

Even though photographers are include in the wedding tent rental packages, there is no harm if one can arrange special photographers to cover the entire event so that no occasion occurs for feeling disappointed due to some technical errors that can happen in the photography.
