There are a number of key things which you need to consider so as to end up with a fantastic set of wedding images.
Not just wedding pictures of the two of you as a couple, which are of course important but photographs that tell the story of your wedding day. Pictures that record every one of the tiny details that you have put so much hard work into arranging that have made your day unique and fantastic for you. You may also want to have formal and informal pictures of the individuals that have been instrumental in helping you put together your day. You’ll want images of yourself getting ready in the morning together with your bridesmaids, your mum as well as any other close friends or family. Similarly for your groom, pictures of the bridegroom as well as the bestman with the ushers getting ready – or putting on button holes outside the church. These photographs will be important to you both as these are areas of your wedding day that you will not have seen happening at the time. There should then be some slightly more official photographs of you when you are ready with your mother and father, particularly your dad if he is to give you away. Also with your bridesmaids. Subsequently from the grooms point of view, him together with his bestman at the church and again with the ushers and not forgetting a close-up of the rings.
Photographic coverage of the rest of the day needs to be a balance of journalistic photographs or story telling photographs, capturing the emotions, the laughter and also the tears as well as some more formal groups.
So, images of your guests enjoying themselves, children enjoying themselves and looking angelic, the food, the refreshments as well as the venue – You will have spent a great deal of time and money selecting the spot to spend essentially the most important days of your life – so this needs to be captured with some beautiful wide angle shots. Often brides say they don’t really want group shots …. it is always an oversight not to have any of the group wedding pictures taken, it is in the many years to come that these photographs are going to be looked back on with fondness and emotion.
