Fun Fun Wedding: Expansion

Wedding photography is one of the good careers in photography. It is also a fun challenge for amateurs to try to do something creative at a wedding where a professional has been hired to get the essential photos. This blog includes information on how to take the best wedding pictures and photos. It also includes example photography of brides in their wedding dresses, wedding ceremonies, and friends.

Taking pictures at a wedding isn't exactly like taking snapshots down at the beach or out on the town with friends, though. When you're a guest at a wedding there are some important matters of technique and etiquette to take into account to make sure that you, and the bride and groom, get the best pictures possible.

Many people go into a wedding and think about the different group shots they want to get. This person's mother with that person's mother. That family long, lost member. This group of college friends.

Weddings are often in beautiful places and are set up to be idyllic moments, often ending close to sunset. Rather than rushing to get all the group photos right away, wait for the right light.  The quality of your photographs can improve.

Just about every wedding these days will retain a professional photographer to make sure those once in a lifetime moments are captured at the highest quality. Many amateur photographers get excited at the prospect of also breaking out their shiny new DSLRs and matching up with the professional.

Many photographers spend too much time focusing exclusively on the bride or groom and never capture what is happening around them. There is always a great story to be found by simply turning around and capturing emotionally rich images of the friends and family.

Weddings are a once in a lifetime (hopefully!) occasion, and a day that the bride and groom will cherish forever. Wedding photos play a large part of this, but this can also put a huge amount of pressure on the photographer missing a shot simply isn't an option.

Wedding photography can be very stressful and lots of hard work. The first thing to decide is whether you actually want the responsibility. If you've been asked to photograph a friend's wedding, remember that you can always say no.

It's a good idea to gain some experience before going it alone as a wedding photographer, see if there's a local photographer who will let you tag along and observe; just remember to stay well out of their way, and don't expect to get paid. You'll then be much better prepared when it comes to your first solo shoot.

While wedding photography is possibly the most stressful challenge a photographer can face, it can also be one of the most rewarding. If you're lucky, it might even lead to a lucrative and enjoyable career.

A natural smile photographs better than a forced one and the greatest compliment I could receive is hearing that I captured the real story of their wedding. 

Finally, remember that weddings are a time for celebration and fun. Although they can be stressful for the photographer, make sure that you take the time to let your mood high a bit, have a chat with the guests, and enjoy yourself.
