Wedding Photography Tips & Tricks
Things to know when planning
If you have not planned a wedding before there are a few things here which you might find useful regarding your wedding photography and planning things that work well on a real life wedding.
Mix things up
When it comes to your portraits on your wedding day, it's a good idea to split your portraits session into two sessions. One session in the afternoon using natural light and then a Twilight Session in the evening where we can get a bit more creative with the photos.
​
This mixes up your wedding gallery, makes it more interesting and you will get so much more photos for your album or art to put on your wall.
How are you going to close your wedding day?
There are a lot of different things you can do to close off your wedding day. The most popular one is a Sparkler Exit, but there are lots more you can do. A few are listed below;
​
1. Champagne Spray Photo - This is fun and you can just have a laugh with it. If you are worried about getting Champagne on your clothes we can just use Sparkling Water.
​
2. Fireworks - It can be a nice way to close of your wedding but can be expensive and you will need to make sure your wedding venue will allow this too.
​
3. Bubbles - This is probably a new trend which there aren't many photos of but bubble machine exit can be a cool way to close of your wedding day and have all your friends and family around to see you off.
Your wedding day timings are so important....
Your wedding day will go so fast, so you need to be prepared and organised with your timings. I would keep group photos down to just immediate family and wedding party. Having a long list of group photos and having your wedding guest just waiting around for photos isn't a good experience for your guests, so keep it short and sweet is the best way forward.
