Shooting for wedding! Continue!

Next will be the Ceremony, this portion among the whole wedding event is considered to be the shortest of all three sections. Majority of the ceremony should be between 20-30 minutes long, which means you have a very tight time frame to capture the whole process! Here are the few things to take note and capture,



1) March in - Communicate with the bride and groom before hand, let them know that they need to walk slower than their normal walking speed and to be smiling at all times. This is important because very likely you will be walking backwards and taking pictures of the bride and groom, so tell the couple to walk slowly if you don't want to trip and fall like the photographer in this video.



2) The table - One of the most challenging moments of the whole event since your subjects are seated, you need to be creative and go for the interesting angles to ensure you shots looks nice. You got to sharpen your senses too and be sure not to miss emotions, so watch out for facial expressions not only from the bride and groom but also from the guests. The next problem you could be facing would be guests walking up and snapping pictures too, you do not want them to be a source of distraction in your picture. What you can do is to fill up your frame, since by tightening your shot you reduce the chances of taking a picture with someone in the background.



3) Details - Yeap details, we are not over with that yet. Like I said before details helps to bring back memories, so this time you got to be looking out for body languages from the couple. Watch out for hand especially, it tells a lot about a person's feeling and thoughts! Don't let your mind tell you that it is foolish and silly to be taking detail shots when you got so little time to work with, feel free to be creative after you got the important shots done!

So if you planned ahead on how to do your shots, a time frame of 20-30 minutes should not be a problem at all. Next week we will conclude with the last portion of the whole wedding event which is the Reception!
