Photography Tips Wedding Guest
Now that June is here, chances are
that you will be attending a wedding
or two sometime soon. And, chances
are, you'll be bringing your camera
to the wedding along with a gift or
two for the happy couple
Here are some tips from the pros at
the New York Institute of Photography,
the world's largest photography school,
to help you take great pictures of
this memorable occasion.
While most couples hire a professional
photographer to photograph the ceremony
and reception, there's still plenty
of room for you to also capture this
occasion on film.
Not only will you have a record of
the wedding for |
your own pleasure,
but imagine the joy of the happy couple
to receive prints of events that the
professional photographer did not
see or wasn't asked to cover.
For instance, many wedding photographers
no longer shoot those "table
shots" of the guests because
these photos don't usually get purchased
by the bride and groom. This is the
perfect opportunity for you. But shoot
these like a pro: Have some of the
people at your table stand up and
move behind those still seated and
take a group shot. Avoid showing the
entire table complete with half-eaten
food, instead concentrate on the faces
of the guests. Another photo opportunity
exists at your table.
Many bridal receptions now include
disposable "single use"
cameras at every table. You may need
to get the show rolling and coax your
table mates to start taking pictures.
Remember,the bride and groom can't
be at every table to take part in
the festivities so candid photos from
these cameras can show the guests
having fun in a way that professional
photographers aren't likely to capture.
A couple of hints on wedding photography
etiquette. If you want to take photos
at a church, synagogue, mosque or
chapel, take your cues from the professional
photographer hired by the bridal couple.
If you see that he or she is not taking
photos at the ceremony, chances are
it is because the clergy told the
photographer not to do so. Respect
the tradition and don't take pictures.
The same thing holds true for flash
photography. Some places of worship
will allow it at the ceremony, others
will not. If you see that the pro
is shooting, then take an aisle seat.
It's the best place to get nice close
shots of the couple that fill the
frame as they leave the church.
One other suggestion on wedding photography
is to be respectful of the professional
photographer. Don't get in that individual's
way. You don't want to ruin the photos
that the bride and groom are paying
the pro to take, and the pro can do
a better job of capturing many parts
of the event than you can. As we've
indicated, there are plenty of different
kinds of shots for you too. Check
