Wedding Photographer Charlotte NC – Better wedding Images

by Ann Norment· October 17, 2020· in Tips and Information· 0 comments
One of the things I like to talk to brides and grooms about is how to have better images on your wedding day. There are several things to remember: *While walking down the aisle, hold your bouquet waist level. You want your bouquet waist level in most of your images. This tip is for the bride as well as the brides maids. *When you have your first kiss, hold the kiss for 3 or 4 seconds to ensure your photographer has several opportunities to capture that kiss. Also, make sure you are touching each other. If hands are straight to your side, it does not look right in the image. You lose the warmth of that first kiss. Hold hands or hold each other. Groom can touch brides face; just make sure you both make a connection with your hands on each other when you kiss. *During your images of just the two of you, the same applies, hug, snuggle, and touch each other’s faces. I tend to shoot a lot of candid shots so they look more natural of the two of you interacting. I am photo-journalistic in style but like to call myself a story teller. *Be natural, […]

Wedding Photographer choices, what to do!

by Ann Norment· February 12, 2016· in Tips and Information· 0 comments tags: Wedding Photographer
HOW DO I CHOOSE MY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER? There are many things you need to know when you are in the process of looking for a wedding photographer that will be the perfect fit for you. Once you have scoured through portfolios online and found a wedding photographer whose style you love, you need to meet with them face to face. Let’s say you’ve come across Chris and Becca Photography. These photographers will be spending a lot of hours with you during some of the most intimate and emotional times of your day. Your personality needs to mesh with them in order for your day to be the very best. Let your wedding photographer see your personality during the consultation, learn about your photographer’s personality.  You will know by the end of the consultation if you are going to click with this team or not. You will want to make sure to ask questions like do you bring backup gear in case of malfunctions? Do you photograph with two cameras on you throughout the day? Does your camera have two slots for memory cards so that it is backing up a second set of images in case of a malfunction? Do you […]

Everyone has a DSLR or camera phone at weddings

by Ann Norment· August 13, 2012· in Tips and Information· 1 comments tags: Charlotte NC photographers, Unplugged Weddings, Wedding Guests with cameras, Wedding Photographer, Wedding Photographer Belmont NC, Wedding Photographer Charlotte NC, Wedding Photographer Fort Mill SC, Wedding Photographer Lake Wylie NC, wedding photographer Rock Hill SC
I wanted to take a few minutes to write a post about what I have encountered over the past year in increasing numbers.  Don’t get me wrong, I am glad everyone is excited about capturing pictures of special moments in their lives.  It is a lot of fun to do and everyone wants to preserve special moments.  This blog is more for guests at weddings as well as information for any bride and groom.   DSLR’s are becoming very popular and are increasingly easy to use.  iPhones can take some pretty amazing images as well.  I debated whether or not to post some images of what I have encountered and how it affects the bride and grooms coverage for the day but there is no way to do it without calling attention to particular individuals and I do not feel comfortable doing this. I will have some examples for my potential clients that I will show them at initial consultations. What has been happening is my crew and I will set up near the back of the isles during a ceremony so we do not obstruct guest’s views of the ceremony and during the procession I will usually be crouched down […]

How to avoid a photography nightmare for your wedding

Being a wedding photographer, this is something near and dear to my heart.  Whether you use my studio or another for your wedding photography needs, I am hoping to provide you with some insight to help you make your decision.  The first link below breaks my heart and prompted me to address this in my blog.  I have had phone calls in the past from brides that are trying to re-create some moments to photograph because of a poor decision they made when hiring their photographer.    At the end of this, there is a link posted for a client that took their wedding photographer to court. Sorry for all the daytime drama banter on Judge Joe Browns show but this is a really good reason to understand why you want to  investigate your potential wedding photographer and make sure you are confident in their knowledge.  I know this is hard when you are not a photographer and do not know how the cameras work, their limitations, the technical data.  One thing you can do, is to look at their entire portfolio, view at least 2 or 3 entire weddings for their past clients, just not their “best of” that […]
