Wedding Photographer Charlotte NC – Better wedding Images

Ann Norment · October 17, 2020 · 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, even when I pose you, I will ask you to stand how you normally do when talking to someone then I will adjust a few things if it is a formal image.

*Very most important tip – be ready early or on time so we have plenty of time to take pictures of you with your brides maids and grooms men. Be prepared for a few images of getting ready. Groom and grooms men, I tend to like to capture images of details, grooms shoes, cuff links, tie, before they are on. I will enter the room once you have dressed in your tux pants and have your shirts on. I do like to capture images of people helping the groom finish with putting on the cuff links and helping with the tie. Your dad, brother or friend’s putting on your coat, mom pinning your boutonniere. Brides and brides maids, time with you getting ready will include capturing images of hair and makeup being done, details of your dress, shoes, bouquet, your girls helping you put on your dress, lace up, button up or zip. Garter being put on, Mom, sister or friend’s helping put on your jewelry and shoes. Then I take Formals and Informal’s of the bride with her parents, family, her bride’s maids and the groom’s men. After that, I take the groom and do Formals and Informal’s of the groom with his parents, family, his groom’s men and the bride’s maids. Everything else is done after the wedding. Allowing time for this will get you to your reception much faster. Always remember, the venue/church sanctuary typically wants us out of there 30 minutes before the ceremony so that means 90 minutes before the ceremony, I need to be starting your formal pictures. So, if you think it will take 1 hour to get ready, then you need to be at the church 2 1/2 hours before your wedding begins. Otherwise, we will be trying to do a lot of images between your ceremony and reception. There will be no time to get some fun creative shots you have hired me for.
