To many people their wedding day is the most important day of their life, so when planning the documenting of your wedding it is essential that you consider all of the aspects concerned. In future years you want to be proud to take out the photo album to show your friends and family. Whether planning time wise for wedding portraits, making sure everyone looks good, getting all the photos you want and making sure others with digital cameras aren't in the way but can still get the photos they want can be very difficult.
When booking a photographer there are many different things you need to consider. The first is whether they will be available; generally you should book twelve months in advance, however for autumn or spring weddings you may need to book up to eighteen months in advance.
You should visit the website of the photographer first to ascertain whether or not you like the photographers style. Depending on your budget, different wedding photography packages can be purchased. Carefully considering each package is essential so as you get the perfect package for your wedding.
Wedding photos can come with added effects (such as a sepia effect) which can add to your photos. Your photographer will provide samples of different effects and shooting styles which you may or may not decide to include in your package. You should also inquire whether or not retouching is included in your chosen package. It is a good idea to meet with your photographer around a month before the wedding to finalise the details of the day.
In regard to time, you should make sure you have plenty thereof. It is ideal to leave about forty five minutes for photos before the bride leaves for the ceremony, and in case of any delays the bride should have her hair and make-up finished first. For these photos you want to find an area in the house that provides plenty of natural light for the photographer. The photographer should also be given a list of all the photos you want them to capture during the day. When planning these photos it is a good idea to let the people in them know whence they are scheduled to happen, so as to avoid them having to be chased down.
For photos taken at the ceremony, make sure no foreign objects such as held plastic bags are in the shots, as they can really dampen a good photo. Any pocket bulges from the Groom or Groomsmen should also be removed from the photo. It is very important at the end of the ceremony that guests are informed not to crowd the aisle, so the photographer is not blocked of and hence does not miss any key moments.
