5 Things You Should Trust Your Wedding Photographer With
Trust is the key ingredient to any relationship and this is true
for the relationship you have with your wedding photographer. There's a reason
you chose them to capture the most important day of your life. While you may
have a vision of how you want some of your images to turn out, for the most
part, you are going to have to put a lot of trust in your photographer.
Trusting your photographer a little more in these main areas will not only
result in better images for you to remember your big day by but will also
relieve you of some stress as well.
1.
Choosing the Location of the Shot
You wedding photographer will have taken the time to familiarize
themselves with your reception location or areas around your ceremony site to
find the best places to photograph. They'll know where to get the best light and
where the best scenery is.
2. Time
of Day to Shoot
Lighting is key to creating beautiful images and using the
natural light of the sun will produce the best lighting setting but that
doesn't mean any time of the day will give you the same results. Your
photographer will know what time of day will be best to take those gorgeous
outdoor shots that won't leave harsh shadows on your face or when to sneak
outside to take some night inspired shots.
3. Poses
Trust your photographer to know what pose is the most flattering
for you. They can see how the light is illuminating you and what is in the
background. While some photographers will take into consideration your picture
ideas, you shouldn't be offended if they shoot down your ideas. Most times
you'll be working with limited time and light and you don't want to waste much
of either on your big day.
4.
Editing Your Photos
Trust your photographer’s creative eye during the editing
process. They will know which images will look best in black and white, color,
cropped and which ones to add special effects to, if any. Part of the editing
process is a part of their style and this is one of the reasons you hired them.
Trust them to use their skills to make each image stunning.
5. Handling
Printing Your Photos
Your photographer knows where to get prints made and probably
has a long-term relationship with a reputable printing company. The worst thing
you can do is have a stunning image, order a large print and find the colors
are off, the image is blurred or it simply looks dull. Knowing where to get
your prints made, what size they should be done in and which ones will look
best in your albums, wall art or thank you cards is part of the package you get
when you hired a professional photographer. Trust them and listen to what they
think will look best for what you want.
