What You Need To Know Wedding Photography

By Modesto Bertucci


A wedding ceremony isn't only a celebration. It is a path that a couple has decided to take. Wedding photography might not be mainstream. However, it's still an art form. It shouldn't be regarded as anything less than serious photography. The truth is, it's among the most challenging specialties of professional duty. If you want to be a wedding photographer, there are particular aspects that you should know.

One of the key areas is strategy. Even before you can think about the camera, the film roll, the lighting and background, you need to develop a strategy. A sound strategy means that you would be able to create opportunities by the numbers. You will have to create an opportunity in every situation. Most wedding photographers take two versions of the same shot to eliminate blinks and at the same time, they are able to introduce variety.

The standard in wedding photography is to shoot a full-length photo, then a head-and-shoulders or half-length photo. Additionally, you'll have to make a list of pictures that may be taken during the wedding itself. The list employed by most professionals consist of photos of the bride inside the residence, the wedding gown, the parents, the bridesmaids, a group photo of the bride and bridesmaids, bride and chief bridesmaid, bride and family, parents and bride, mother and bride, father and bride, brothers, sisters and bride, parents and bridesmaids, relatives, and any exclusive request.

There are essentially 2 types of cameras used in wedding photography. The first is the 35mm and the other one is a medium format. The 35mm cameras produce a grainier look when the picture is enlarged in comparison to the medium format. An additional element of photography that you should be familiar with is the camera film. Camera film comes in both B/W and color. Color film is considered the most common one but recently, B/W photos are beginning to emerge. The advantage of black and white film is that you can establish an artistic appeal. B/W photos can also endure for a longer time.

The prominent factor of color films is due to the fact that they are multipurpose. If you shoot with a color film, then you are capable of showing the main points of the wedding day. If you are making use of a 35mm camera for the special occasion, then your best option will probably be 100, 200 or 400 speed film. The 100 speed film provides the finest quality prints in strong sunlight. The 200 speed film works extremely well in sunlight as well as shade. As a final point, the 400 speed film is ideal for low light.
