Photographing A Wedding With Your Digital Camera
Filed in archive Tip by jim on April 10, 2008
These days more and more couples are having their weddings photographed by friends and family rather than by a pro.
The decision to do so is usually dictated by economics and if you're asked to do the honors you should feel flattered because obviously your photos have impressed the bride and groom.
Of course you'll be nervous about having the responsibility of documenting such a momentous occasion but that's to be expected. Take a deep breath and start planning your project.
Make a list of all "must" shots", such as the bride going up the aisle, and the newly married couple coming back down the aisle, and of course, the key shots of the ceremony itself.
If there's a reception afterwards it's time to take pictures of the attendees, the dancing, the cake cutting, the garter
toss and other traditions.Even as an amateur you have many advantages over the pro photographers of yesteryear who used film cameras.
You can take many shots content in the knowledge that there isn't any film to have processed; you pay only for what you want printed. You also get instant results so after review any muffed shots can be redone immediately. This helps raise your confidence level.
Of course you still can't replace experience with the convenience of a digital camera when it comes to factors such as lighting and positioning of the subjects.
If there is a wedding rehearsal you can practice at that and probably produce some additional photos of interest for the couple.
You might also want to look through the albums of other weddings shot by professionals for ideas on posing and so forth.
