Guarantee That Your Wedding Photos Are PerfectWe are all guilty of looking through wedding photos from other couples for ideas to adopt for our wedding. This could be the flower choices, to color scheme, or even the poses performed by the bridal party. Couples browse numerous pictures for the simple reason of trying to create a perfect wedding. Everyone wants their wedding to be something memorable, with creative ideas that reflect their personalities and interests. In order to achieve this goal, the photographer needs to be integrated effectively into your wedding plans. Here are some tips to help better capture your wedding through the photo lens.Fun and Serious PhotosSome of the best wedding photos often involve the most creativity. Ideas such as having the men open their dress shirts to show off their Superhero character undershirts is fun. This theme of superheroes can be implemented into the after wedding activities, like letting the wedding party shower the bride and Groom with "Spiderman" Silly-String. Another fun photo idea is to have the bridal party stand on each side of the bride and groom while pretending to grab hold of the newlyweds by the arm as if they don't want them to get married. However, a wedding is not all fun and games, serious pictures need to be taken too. Several smiling and relaxed pictures of the bridal party should be taken after the ceremony. The bride and groom should also be sure to break away from the bridal party, get away from everyone, take a moment to relax and capture some intimate photos. Also, do not forget to get pictures of all the special people in your lives. The photos of your grandparents, siblings, elderly or seldom seen relatives and friends will one day be your most cherished wedding photos.Backgrounds and AttireThe background will make or break a photo. A background of a horse stable versus one of the beach and ocean, really says a lot about the couple. Other great backgrounds include a blurred wedding venue, any open spaces, and simple designs like a brick wall. These backgrounds allow the subjects of the photo to be embraced. Unique attire choices are the easiest way to spice up the wedding photos. Crazy bright patterned dress socks for the men will make for an interesting photo. Watch out for background obstructions: a chandelier appearing to be sitting on top of the bride's head, an exit sign over the groom's shoulder or an old college room-mate photo-bombing you in the distance. Also remind the photographer to watch out for the little details like crooked bow ties, shirt sleeves not pulled down properly, a slipping bra strap or a groomsman trying to hide a cigarette in his cupped hand.Bride and Groom TipsFind a wedding photographer with outdoor and indoor experience so they are able to capture every precious moment with equal professionalism and quality. Browsing a photographer's previous work will help you determine if their style will fit your wedding. Make sure your photographer connects with the event or location coordinator to confirm what can and cannot be photographed. It would be devastating if your wedding day arrives and your photographer isn't allowed to take all the photos you were hoping for. Meeting with your photographer in advance will be essential to explore the location, describe the type of photos you want, your wedding vision and to connect on a friendly level. Make sure to confirm the schedule and locations with the photographer well in advance to help prepare. Lastly, if you want pre-wedding photos then be sure to schedule the session several weeks in advance of your wedding date. The pre-wedding photos allow the bride and groom have intimate photos that are not rushed, photos with close friends or family and perhaps a location that is dear to your heart like your garden, the park where you met or out on the beach.Tips for the PhotographerFirst and foremost, don't get in the way! You should not get in the way of the guests or anyone's view. Your job is to capture the wedding day on film, not to orchestrate or take over the day. To accomplish this goal, while still capturing the important moments, use additional photographers along with assistants. Utilizing headsets is a great way to communicate between this team. As far as gear, make sure you have a prime lens, telephoto lens, and an all-around lens for the wedding day at your disposal. Besides lenses, sun filters and flashes are needed for outdoor sunny areas and indoor photos. Even though you're the photographer, dress appropriate for the wedding, as if you are a guest, a very well-groomed guest. Avoid being overdressed and underdressed. Shorts and a t-shirt won't do your credibility any justice; be professional. The photos from your wedding should not only provide a memory, but tell a story of the newlywed couple. Ways to ensure the photographer's team will capture the experience is to have multiple photographers and lenses, the right equipment for the setting, and a plan in advance by seeing the venue ahead of time. The bride and groom need to plan ahead as well when giving the photographer the schedule, being clear with their vision for the photos, and when shooting the pre-wedding pictures. Do not forget to choose simple backgrounds to help the subject of the photos stand out, and to get creative when taking fun photos that portray the newlywed couple you are. Most important, relax and have fun!Look better than expected,Robert
