The Regulations of Wedding Photography: Do’s & Don’ts

Wedding photographers will always be in demand as long as there are weddings. It may be a lucrative profession for the right person; couples and families will spend the top price to guarantee that their special day is well-documented. On the other hand, shooting a wedding entails much more than simply showing there with a camera.

 

Following are some things that you as a wedding photographer must know, in short, the do’s and don’ts of wedding photography.

Look Presentable

A decent rule of thumb is to dress as if you were attending the wedding of someone you know but aren’t close friends with. You want to appear professional and inconspicuous; don’t stand out by dressing too casually or too formally.

Be Focused

Imagine yourself as a wedding guest: you’re come together to join a friend or relative about one of the most important days of their lives, but you can’t concentrate on the ceremony due to the photographer’s distracting techniques.

 

It’s important to remember that the wedding is about the couple and their guests, not about you. The following tips can help you capture incredible photos without attracting too much attention.

Use flash Sparingly

The bride and groom share a special moment with their loved ones, not holding a press conference– not to mention that shooting in natural daylight is always preferable. Keep an eye on your parameters and use automated bracketing to ensure you obtain the best exposure possible. Only use the flash when absolutely required.

 

Pack the appropriate gear

Close-up photographs are frequently the most powerful and unforgettable. You’ll need a telephoto lens to get that perfect photograph of the groom sliding the wedding band on the bride’s finger without getting too near. Having a decent one on hand will also allow you many leeways when you need to take a step back.

 

Keep these pointers in mind (along with your clients’ pleasure), and there’s no cause you can’t be a successful wedding photographer!
