While many couples find it easier to hire a professional photographer, many brides and grooms simply cannot fit that cost into their wedding budget. What does this mean? Should you go without wedding photos? Of course not! Hire a friend to take your wedding photos and make clear directions so that your photos are captured perfectly!
- Have a written plan. Don’t assume that your designated photographer will know where and when to point and click. Make a list of all of the people, poses, and events you want to immortalize on film. This will help make sure that important guests, like the father of the bride, and significant milestones, like the exchanging of the rings, aren’t absent from your beach wedding album. One idea is to group the shot list by specific event, starting with the rehearsal and continuing through the reception.
- To prevent the subjects from getting dwarfed by the expansive surroundings, make sure the camera zooms in as close as possible (without blurring). For a majority of the shots, have the photographer stand in front of the sun to minimize the shadows and silhouettes that can detract from the subjects. If you do want a couple of silhouette shots (which can be very romantic), do the opposite.
- Make sure pictures are taken throughout the course of the day and evening, as different lighting options will afford different photographic opportunities.
