Your Berks, Bucks & Oxon Wedding - Feb/Mar 2019 (Issue 75)

PHOTOGRAPHY 73  PICTURE PERFECT Expert advice on your wedding photos F rom making sure you’ve chosen the right person for the job to getting the best shots on the day, there’s a lot to think when it comes to capturing your special day. Three of the regions’ finest photographers discuss how to make sure you’re enjoying your big-day moments and not worrying about them. You should choose a photographer with whom you feel a deep connection and whose style resonates with you. Maybe it's posed portraits, a classic style or a photojournalistic feel. Many wedding photographers, like myself, can do a blend of styles, so talk to them about what is most important to you. When trying to find the perfect photographer for your wedding, there is nothing better than client testimonials, describing the experiences they had while working with them. Once you’ve made a shortlist of potential photographers, meet them in person and get a feel for who they are and what their work is like. Remember, your photographer will be spending more time with you on your wedding day than your mum, so no matter how much you love someone's work, make sure your personalities click before you invite them along for one of the most important days of your life. The best wedding photos are those in which the bride and groom look relaxed and like they are having fun. If you have a good relationship with your photographer, he or she will be able to help you feel at ease in front of the camera. There is so much more to being able to just take a good photo. Photography is an investment that one makes to preserve and share memories to last a lifetime. Kirsty Corbett, kirstycorbettphotography.com KIRSTY CORBETT ON... CHOOSING YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER
