  1.  Tips for Amateur Wedding Photographers

  2. Create a ‘Shot List’ One of the most helpful tips I’ve been given about Wedding Photography is to get the couple to think ahead about the shots that they’d like you to capture on the day and compile a list so that you can check them off.  This is particularly helpful in the family shots. There’s nothing worse than getting the photos back and realizing you didn’t photograph the happy couple with grandma!

  3. Wedding Photography Family Photo Coordinator I find the family photo part of the day can be quite stressful. Get the couple to nominate a family member (or one for each side of the family) who can be the ‘director’ of the shoot.  They can round everyone up, help get them in the shot and keep things moving so that the couple can get back to the party.

  4. Scout the Location Visit the locations of the different places that you’ll be shooting before the big day.  While I’m sure most Pros don’t do this – I find it really helpful to know where we’re going, have an idea of a few positions for shots and to know how the light might come into play.  On one or two weddings I even visited locations with the couples and took a few test shots.

  5. Shoot the small details Photograph rings, backs of dresses, shoes, flowers, table settings, menus etc – these help give the end album an extra dimension. 

  6. Consider Your Backgrounds One of the challenges of weddings is that there are often people going everywhere – including the backgrounds of your shots. Particularly with the formal shots scope out the area where they’ll be taken ahead of time looking for good backgrounds.
