Sure, wedding is the most perfect occasion for anyone’s whole life and everyone would love to make their big day catchy and memorable. If you’re a great photographer, sooner or later there will come a point in your life where you’ll be asked to shoot the wedding – whether it’s your cousin’s wedding or a friend. They would have lots of expectations with you only and trust me, to successfully fulfill their expectations and drive them up all happy and excited, is not an easy job. However, if capturing the wedding portraits are done by practicing these inspirational ideas, can really help to boost your talent in photography.
Laying hold of the list:
Due to the chaotic scenario that prevails after the ceremony, it might get really difficult for you to capture the details that the couple requested you. In order to prevent this, you must pump in and ask for a ‘shot list’ from the pair. This means to get a list of all those happenings which the couple specially wants to include in their photo album. Action Filmz provides a full line of film making equipment, production services, studio facilities, crew hire and many more filming services.
For instance, the list might include requesting to take some snaps of the bride and groom getting ready and all dressed up, wedding ring, cake cutting, meal, random but beautifully captured pictures of the flowers or the deco, friends and family groups’ pictures, solo pictures of bride and groom, bride’s wedding dress, ceremony etc. These images from DSLR bought from production services make gorgeous memories.
Snap Rehearsed:
Boom! You take a picture and suddenly your DSLR switches off only because it wasn’t fully charged at the first place and the event has just begun! For you, it’s your first opportunity for wedding photoshoot and this nightmare might ruin your career! No! Hold on! Please never take that risk. You must go rehearsed and prepared for the upcoming event.
Set everything beforehand akin to fully charging your camera and batteries from production services, tidying your lenses, keeping some spare batteries, formatting the memory cards and taking a backup camera with you. Secure the series of memory cards in a case or a memory card holder. Rehearsing on a friend before the big day is a great option to check and control the camera and adjusting the dial details.
Don’t jam-pack stuff:
Yes, I agree, you need to take radiant light accessories and enough lenses bought from production services to make use of -- in case of any mishap. Nevertheless, remember don’t end up with a big haversack or a big bag that ticks off or troubles the guests or even worse, simply knock over the cake creating so much embarrassment!
Wedding ring:
Ensure that every shot you capture is a best shot but particularly, pay special care when taking the picture of a wedding ring as it might be a beautiful addition to the wedding album. For instance, use some of the resources in bride’s room such as ribbons, flowers and even her invitation card. Place the ring on the invitation card with a ribbon or flowers behind it. This will give a soft look to the ring in your picture. One more way to capture the ring entrancingly is to plunk down the ring in a delicate flower bouquet and boom! Take your shot with a macro lens!
Wide Constant Aperture:
Assuming that you’re stuck with a dim light event. Don’t ruin your shots by flashing objects. Instead, to produce a quality output, use lenses with a wide constant aperture of at least f/2.8 as capturing a portrait from a fast (wide constant aperture) lens particularly undergoes with less crookedness than a cheaper zoom.
