Whether you fancy yourself as a wedding photographer, or have been roped in by friends to do the job because of ‘you’re a photographer, aren’t you’ reasoning, I have found there are few events as stressful, challenging and fun as photographing a wedding. The key to making a good job of it is preparation and a few key wedding photography tips.
Visit the locations you will be shooting at a week before so you can see how wide an angle lens you will need, how light or dark it is. Go meet the officiant beforehand to find out where you can shoot from, whether flash is allowed in the venue. Work out where you will be doing the group shots, where there’s the opportunity for creative shots with just the bride and groom.
