How to Get the Best Wedding Photos

Alas! You have finally chosen your knight in shining armor! And boy, are you excited for your wedding day! Each little detail of that special day is planned out like an architectural structure – bold and sure that everything will fall into place and none of the unforeseen or unfortunate will happen. It took quite a while to choose your groom to be. So will it be in your pursuit of the “perfect” photographer – the one who will capture every darling moment on your wedding day.

We know of the Chinese proverb that says “A picture is worth ten thousand words.” Photos are the most dynamic souvenirs a newlywed can ever have. Viewing wedding photos together, whether right after the wedding day or twenty five years later, creates that magical moment that no other kind of photo can evoke. Wedding photos are special in that way.

Brides are the ones who can best recommend the PERFECT wedding photographer or “bad mouth” the worst of them. Great wedding photos do not come by accident. Achieving them requires you to first know what you want to see in your photos and to be clear and bold in communicating that to your photographer.

Do you prefer casual and candid shots or the more sophisticated appeal of posed shots? Would you like to combine traditional poses with totally wacky ones? What particular moments do you want captured in your photos? How about the venue? Would you like to have some really beautiful snapshots of your chosen venue for good memories? Close-range shots of the bouquet, ring, or souvenirs before they disappear? Be very specific. Do you need some props to achieve a certain photo effect? How about interesting angles and shots for a more post-modern appeal? Oh, and let us not forget the guests! Will you go around tables to take photos with them or prefer the guests to move to your table for some pictures? For each photo with the guests, do you want just one traditional shot or have two of them — a serious shot and a wacky one? There are many things to consider and choices to make. It will be best to write them down on a sheet of paper and organize them by priority. Hand a copy over to your wedding photographer so you have something to begin with. Remember, just as communication is crucial in a relationship you’ve just entered into with your groom-to-be, so it is with your photographer. As mentioned, beautiful wedding photos are not accidental.

Now that your wedding photographer knows what you want, how about listening to his suggestions? After all, he is the more experienced one, and probably the more creative one too. For starters, he has probably been to more weddings (and taken more wedding photos) than you could ever dream of! Listen to some ideas he will throw your way. Who knows? They may just be your answer to a most memorable out-of-the-box picture-perfect wedding!
