My role as a wedding photographer is to find the best light available and direct your poses in the most flattering way possible. However, there are some limitations depending on the location and timing of your wedding day schedule. Here are some tips to consider as you’re planning your wedding day:
For formal portraits, find locations with the least amount of distractions (i.e. parked cars, street signs, people, etc). Also, if there’s enough time, plan to have your formal portraits taken at a location with a beautiful backdrop (i.e. a flower garden, historical building or an open field).
Allocate at least 1.5 to 2 hours for formal portraits. Formal portraits does NOT have to be done all at the same time. For example, I recommend doing the bride and bridesmaids portraits immediately after their hair and makeup is done while everything is still fresh and in place. I also recommend doing the groom and groomsmen portraits before any drinking starts. Once we have these portraits done (which is normally before the ceremony), it will allow us more time to photograph family, the entire wedding party, and bride and groom together later.
Lighting is everything because it changes throughout the day and different light will create different results. Here are my tips for making the best use of light throughout your wedding day:
For getting ready photos:
Avoid doing”duck-lips” during the kissing poses (instead, go in slowly for the kiss without really kissing)
