Wedding time, it is the time to create memories to cherish them throughout the life. Encapsulating the moments, with the content of joy, happiness, bonding, love and care is what a wedding photographer does. Let the photographer do their job. However, even you should be aware and should see to it that photographer is doing their job properly. So here is an expert advice for perfect pictures this wedding season. So that, after a decade of your wedding, when you sit down with these photographs, you get lost in the memories, and you try to relive the wonderful moments that you created on your big day.

In India, it has become a trend to hire a photographer for a wedding to click images. Have you ever thought whether your photographer is doing a right job or not? Sometimes not, what the photographers focus in an Indian wedding are the poses before the wedding ceremony, the wedding ceremony where all the rituals are going on and the major part your guests enjoying a delicious meal. Is it enough to make up a wedding album.? Probably, your mind is shouting out “No, No that’s not at all enough..!” So this is the time, you should know what all is missing here, in this type of photography.

Take natural poses:

The major part that is always missed out is the natural poses. The photographer will force the bride and the groom to give various poses like holding hands and stand like this and that and all… In doing these things, they generally miss out capturing the natural moments of happiness and love.

Natural moments of happiness in wedding

As always suggested by me and other experts as well is, “Try to get a heavy laugh in a photograph rather than a posed smile.!” Now, this is a very important point to take care while you go for a wedding photography. We generally pose in front of the camera with an artificial smile which is not at all enough to make good memories. A photographer needs to capture the real smile, the real laughing faces, and these things never come up by posing. Always a photographer needs to be actively looking out for such beautiful moments of the groom and the bride.

Wedding fun moment - Real Smile

Capturing the moments when the couple is actually laughing out or sharing a smile to each other is the creativity that a photographer needs to show up. There are a lot of moments during the wedding where the bride shy and gives a pleasing smile to the groom and such photographs if captured will add a cherry to the cake in your wedding album.

Never miss out pre-wedding photography:

There are very few weddings where the couple goes out for the pre-wedding photography. However, it is an upcoming trend in the Indian weddings. Pre-wedding photography is a time to make such beautiful memories to relive the moments further in your life. It is a time when you can spend time with your partner and can gather the beautiful memories. Select a perfect location for pre-wedding photography like a lonely beautiful natural place, a huge garden, beach, etc. See to it that you never ever choose a crowded place, or else you are ruining your pre-wedding photography session.

Pre-Wedding Photography

You need a quiet and a lonely place where you are not disturbed by anyone and in such places, there comes up the real feel for a perfect photo shoot. Try out some new poses, rather than simple, old and boring poses. Select a location where it is easy to manage the lighting part may be natural or artificial. If you do not have proper lighting at the photo shoot, there could be circumstances wherein you will have to drop out a click.

While, in the pre-wedding photography always remember that “It is not important clicking the poses, instead you need capture the feelings.!” A perfect photography is something that will involve focusing on capturing the feelings. The photographs are not just the images they are a package of emotions. So, now you will be very clear on how to set out for the pre-wedding photography and what all things you need to capture.

It is important to cover up all the rituals during a wedding ceremony:

While in the wedding ceremony, the major part lies in capturing all the rituals and the processions. The photographers need to take utmost care that they cover up all the rituals. Every ritual carried out in the Indian wedding ceremony has a religious importance. This is actually a perfect time, to capture out the feelings and the joy of the couple and the family members.

Family and Guests could not be skipped:

Capturing the photographs of the family members and other guests is equally important and needs equal creativity and presence of mind. There could be some awesome moments during a wedding like people giggling, laughing out loud, meeting and hugging each other and so on. These are the opportunities a photographer can grab and could get some best photographs ever. Here, the same rules apply of not capturing the artificial smiles but to capture the natural laughs.

There are huge smiles on the faces of the family member and the bride as well along with heavy tears in the eyes. Yes, this is the time of ‘Vidai’. These scenes create the beautiful moments where you can capture the most beautiful photographs full of feelings and emotions. The mixed feelings of the bride’s family, a happiness of their daughter getting married (probably one of the biggest days in the life of parents) and at the same time a sad feeling of ‘Vidai’. When these feelings are captured together, they create the most beautiful photographs ever.

Filtering and modifying the images:

This is all about capturing the moments, the next big task that comes up is modifying images. The raw images could be recreated with some fantastic effects; that makes us recreate the same moment every time we go through these photographs. Most of the professional photographers do have experts of photo editing, and if they do not have, you should hire one to get a perfect wedding album.Whenever you go for finalizing the contract of your wedding photography, it is highly important that you discuss all these things before going for a final quotation.

             Now, I hope you will have a perfect idea of what to capture and what not to, what to focus on and what should be neglected. Keeping these things in mind while capturing the moments will help you get the best photographs which would not only image but as suggested they will be a package of emotions, feelings, love and care.!
