Ask any couple: flipping through the wedding photo book, they again and again plunge into the atmosphere of their wedding celebration, relive emotions, remember the cherished moment when they said “we agree”, when they put a ring on the finger of their loved one, when at the end of this complex and bright day, huddled together, they danced their first dance as a family.
But it’s not just knowing how to photograph in different genres that makes a photographer a master wedding photographer.
A good wedding photographer has many skills and knows the nuances without which it is impossible to get great wedding photos.
Often the wedding photographer takes on the role of director. Helping plan the wedding day is a service that is in the arsenal of any professional. Who better than a photographer, based on his experience, can tell the bride and groom how to plan the route of the wedding walk or how will the wedding ceremony in the registry office, and what the main points to pay attention to, so that the photos looked the most winning.
A wedding photographer is also a psychologist. Emotions in wedding photos – that’s what is most valuable for the bride and groom, everyone wants a memorable and emotional wedding photo, looking at which the viewer can feel the same feelings. It can be bright and cheerful, or, on the contrary, pictures saturated with romance and tender melancholy. But very often, both the guests and the newlyweds are shy, embarrassed, worried and do not know how to behave in front of the camera. And it is at this point to help them come to the wedding photographer: he knows how to loosen up, to point to the most advantageous angle, tell (and often show) how to convey a particular emotion.
Look into a wedding photographer’s bag, and you’ll be surprised. A good photographer has with him a lot of, at first glance strange, but absolutely indispensable things at the wedding. These are wet wipes, pins, invisible pins, a needle and thread, a painkiller pill and much more. After all, at almost every wedding suddenly inadvertently something gets dirty, rips off, the bride gets knocked out of her hair curls or nerves begins to hurt her stomach.
And, of course, the photographer is a person who always has a “plan B”. This is especially true for our city, with its unpredictable weather. A wedding photographer will always offer an alternative location for the wedding reception. If it suddenly rains, or organize a mini photo shoot with the guests if the limo is late.
From all of the above we can draw only one very important conclusion: take the full responsibility for choosing a photographer for your wedding.
