Take the time to go through the details of your day with your wedding photographer, it’s so important that they know what’s happening when whether it’s a small or big celebration. Give as many details about your day to the photographer including timings and suppliers. Your photographer should offer you the opportunity to have a second shooter attend on the day to capture the details, preparation and special moments that the main photographer might miss while taking the couple portraits and group photos. Always have someone from the bridal party call out names for the group shots. The photographer won’t know who is who, so to help, make sure you nominate someone that will know who is needed and when. On the day itself, remember to keep your hands in their pockets if you aren’t holding anything like the bouquets or each other. Connect during the couple portraits by hugging, kissing and touching and don’t look at the camera - natural images, whether silly or romantic, are important. www.gettyimages.co.uk www.gettyimages.co.uk www.gettyimages.co.uk www.gettyimages.co.uk Light is really important in photography, it can make the difference between a dynamic image and a flat one, so consider the time of day that you’re getting hitched. Don’t worry if your photographer hasn’t worked at your chosen venue before. Suggest that they meet you both there ahead of your wedding to have a look around and go through everything. During those all-important getting ready shots in the bridal suite, remove carrier bags or ironing boards left in the background. A good photographer will keep an eye on these spoilers but they will also want to capture candid shots. Remember to smile up the aisle and to look up, not down at your feet. Your photographer will love you for it! At the end of the ceremony, turn to face your guests and smile again – a high-five or a cheer always makes for a wonderful photograph as you walk out! www.gettyimages.co.uk www.gettyimages.co.uk www.gettyimages.co.uk www.gettyimages.co.uk 46
