Wedding Photography Tips - Only the Very Brave Will Attempt It

Executive summary about wedding photography tips by Lance Carr

Hire a professional. No? Then read on, reckless fool...

Emotionally, spiritually, intellectually and photographically. You'll need extra memory sticks, extra batteries, a flash outfit, a tripod and a zoom/wide-angle lens. You'll also need a decent photo editing program to produce the finished product in an acceptable form.

ALWAYS shoot for the bride. 99.9% of men don't care.

Get a list of wanted shots. Weddings have about 4 phases: getting dressed, the ceremony, after the ceremony (relaxed shots with the new couple), the reception including the cake and groups of guests.

Shoot a lot. Get the groups. Groups are important but watch out here because semi-inebriated guests will want to be photographed with pot-plants, the foxy waitress, each other, maybe the bride and groom, and towards the end of the evening fascinating cloud formations.

Get the proofs to the bride as fast as possible. Definitely before the divorce.

Get your shots first and party later if anyone is left to party with. Your reputation can be destroyed by a handful of misaimed shots of the bride or her friends. If it sucks delete it. Better safe than sorry.
