Top Tips for Amazing Wedding Photography

• Be Unique
• Its easy to say, but hard to implement. Having a
  unique style or flair to your photographs depends
  on equipment and talent. If the photographer has
  one of these, its hard to get it right without
  the other.
• Be Natural
• The best things about weddings are those little
  moments that are forever treasured. It could be
  seeing loved ones you havent seen for a long
  time, or it could be your best friends cute
  toddler getting on the dance floor and loving
  every second of the party.
• Be Prepared
• No one can predict what the weather will be like
  months in advance, and weddings more often than
  not are booked that far ahead. Its more than
  important for wedding photographers to be as
  prepared as they can for any eventuality.
• Be Specific
• On the day, it is important for you as a
  photographer or person getting married to be
  specific about what you want out of the day.
  Wedding photography is a personal thing for both
  the couple and the photographer, but in different
  ways.

Top 5 Backgrounds for Your Wedding Photographs

• The Beach
• Probably the most obvious choice in the list, as
  there is just something magical and special by
  the sea. Sandy dunes and grasses are perfect for
  a rustic, countryside theme, especially if you
  can get an old, wooden hut or two in there.
• The Mountains
• Whether its wet and misty, or sunny with a vista
  to the horizon, you will never fail to be
  impressed every time you walk past the framed
  picture of you and your partner (friends and
  family optional) standing at the top or bottom of
  a great, green mountain.
• The Skyline
• If you can get to a place in the city in which
  you can have a great view of the skyline, it can
  end up being a really unique and special way of
  celebrating your marriage, and the city you love.

Top 5 Backgrounds for Your Wedding Photographs

• The Forest
• Back to nature, there are many venues buried in
  the forest that will host extra special weddings
  and receptions that are almost out of this world.
  If youre looking for more of a fantasy setting,
  then the forest is the place to do it.
• Your Favorite Spot
• All couples that are ready to spend their lives
  together will have those extra special places
  that are personal to them. It could be a cafe, it
  could be a park bench, or it could be the gym!
• Wherever is special to you and your partner is
  the perfect backdrop for your wedding
  photographs, and whatever happens, it will always
  serve as a memory of one of the best days of your
  life.

5 Must Haves For Wedding Photographers

• Equipment
• As obvious as this may sound, there is no point
  in putting yourself out into the world as a
  business if you dont have the equipment to pull
  it off. You will need a level of background
  knowledge of cameras and related tech in order to
  invest in the right brands and models.
• Attitude
• There is literally no point in attempting to be a
  wedding photographer if you lack the right
  attitude. This includes the entire process, from
  setting up your business to your customers
  wedding day.
• Marketing
• Being able to tell people who and where you are
  is an obvious must in the wedding photography
  business, and there are several ways to do this.

5 Must Haves For Wedding Photographers

• Time
• The last thing you will want to do in wedding
  photography is let people down. If wedding
  photography is a part time job on the side, or
  even a hobby, theres no point in offering the
  service to customers if you are doing a main job
  that requires a lot of your time, or is reluctant
  to support you.
• Talent
• Talent can be a natural thing in wedding
  photography, but it can also be learned. If you
  are keen enough to learn the business and want to
  get better, ask friends and family to model for
  you as a favor, or offer to do the photography
  for the latest get together. This will help in
  all aspects of your own particular style and
  flair.

Top Places to Showcase Your Wedding Photography

• Instagram
• Instagram is a fairly informal forum in which to
  show off your work, but it is nothing but
  beneficial, as so many people use it. All you
  need to do is set up an account, and you let the
  wedding photography do the talking for you.
• Flickr
• Flickr is another free service in which you can
  categorise and prioritise as much as 1TB worth of
  photographs. 1TB is a lot, and if you have the
  time to fill it, you have time to select the ones
  you will keep and the ones you wont.
• Website
• Having your own website is still an essential
  commodity, even with social media. Finding a free
  website builder is easy, and you can get your own
  domain for as little as 9 a year.
• Shop
• Whilst having a physical space of your own in an
  office or shop can cost more money than you may
  want to spend, there are still many people who
  will want to meet you and see your work in person
  before they decide to work with you.
• Wedding Fairs
• If you can book a stall, or share with friends at
  wedding fairs, these are great places to meet
  couples face to face without them potentially
  even hearing of you before.

Wedding Photography Dos and Donts

• Do Hire a professional
• Professional wedding photographers do this
  day-to-day, and can capture the more tender and
  personal moments far better than someone who is
  there to celebrate with you.
• Dont Leave it until the last minute
• As soon as you have set the date at your perfect
  venue, get on to your preferred wedding
  photographer and book them!
• Do Trust venues and planners
• As long as the venue is reputable, their
  photographer will be too. Otherwise, they
  wouldnt be working there.
• Similarly, if your planner has someone amazing in
  mind, by all means have a look at their previous
  work and veto if youre not happy, but let the
  planner do what you hired them to do.

Wedding Photography Dos and Donts

• Dont Overthink it
• If you limit yourself to looking at a certain
  number of websites or visiting a handful of shops
  in one area, then you will undoubtedly find a
  suitable person with a fantastic talent to suit
  you.
• Do Look for flair
• Websites and profiles on social media are the
  best way to see how someone works, and what their
  overall style is. You may want to find a
  photographer who takes unusual or quirky
  photographs, or you may want something more
  traditional.
• Dont Forget them on the day
• This one is fairly obvious, but is also an easy
  thing to do. Your photographer is most likely
  going to be with you and your guests for the
  entire day. Although its work for them, they
  will still need and appreciate a little
  recognition.
