Planning Your Wedding Photography

Once you pick your wedding day, it is important to book a photographer as soon as possible. After you find a photographer whose style you like and whose price fits in your budget, you need to take the time to meet with him or her and begin planning the photos that you will want for your big day.

Sometimes, wedding photographers offer packages that include bridal or engagement portraits. If you can choose, it can be helpful to pick engagement portraits. This gives the photographer a chance to get to know the groom so that he's not a complete stranger on the wedding day. Typically, a photographer will have his or her own list of preferred locations for engagement portraits so that you can have the best pictures possible.

Setting up a time line is a very important part of making sure that you get all of the shots that you want on your wedding day, even down to the engagement portraits. Many couples like to have slide shows sharing pictures of them at the rehearsal dinner or reception, so if you want your formal engagement pictures as part of this, you should make sure that you take them enough time ahead of the wedding so that the photographer can process the images, and you can add them into the show. Additionally, other couples choose to display large copies of their favorite engagement photos at the reception if the bride does not get bridal portraits.

After you book the photographer and get the ball rolling on your other photography sessions, you should take the time to sit down with him or her to make a list of the shots that you definitely want. This is especially important with someone who has a more photojournalistic style since you want to be sure to get all of the family poses that you want. Many photographers have a list of suggested poses, such as with the bride's family, groom's family, both together, grandparents, etc.

Because these formal shots can take a while, you may want to plan ahead so that you do not keep your guests waiting for a long time at the reception. If the bride and groom do not want to see each other before the ceremony, it is a good idea to be ready at least an hour and a half before the wedding so that both the bridal party and groom's party can take their respective group shots. This way, you only have to take the family and together portraits after the ceremony.

However, if you are having an outdoor ceremony, it is important to plan these shots with even more finesse based on the changes in lighting. You do not want to start your wedding so late that your pictures will be in the dark. Thus, if you want your wedding at dusk, you should definitely plan to take as many pictures before the ceremony as possible.

Once you have all of your pictures, the hardest part can be choosing the one perfect photo that you want to display. However, once you do pick it, you may want to do more than just stick it in a frame and put it on a dusty shelf. Consider turning your photo into canvas work of art-this way, you can display the beautiful photo of your special day in a manner that it deserves.
