| A great tip on Preparation The wedding is | | | | everyone doing the photos and give some |
| probably a good few weeks away now, so | | | | inspiration too. |
| anyone who you want to be taking photos for | | | | For the most part there will be no organizing!, it's |
| you would probably benefit from previewing the | | | | already been done, everyone will be following the |
| location, so give them a call and arrange to all go | | | | order of events as they unfold, you may have a |
| together and check out the location, don't put it | | | | couple of hiccups throughout the day, but |
| off, if you think you know a good spot to use | | | | generally all will go to plan, the job of getting the |
| then go there and take some friends along, take | | | | photos is achieved by being there, by watching |
| the bride, groom, bridesmaids & best man if you | | | | and observing, and photographing the things you |
| can, look around for good backgrounds, where is | | | | see, and the things people do, and also paying |
| the sun? Work out where the sun will be on the | | | | extra attention to the key events. If you are |
| day when you are taking the group shots, you | | | | intending on taking group shots, in a location away |
| don't want everyone squinting with the sun in | | | | from the ceremony, then one of the most |
| their eye's. Take the camera and do some test | | | | important things you should do is let everyone |
| shots, then if you don't like the background or | | | | know when and where. If the guests or drivers |
| location, you still have time to change it. If you | | | | don't know you are planning on group shots in the |
| are arranging thewedding photos for the day, | | | | park, they'll not be there. This actually happened |
| you'll need to organize the person or people who | | | | to me when nobody told the minibus driver that |
| will actually be taking photos. There will be many | | | | they wanted to do photos in the park, all the |
| people on the day taking photos, as people do, | | | | wedding cars and my self went to the park, and |
| and if you can get a copy of all of them on disk | | | | all the guests went to the reception 3 or 4 miles |
| that will all help to compile the photo collection. For | | | | away, and when they had been dropped off the |
| the main shots though, the person who is going | | | | driver went home! We had no way of getting |
| to do the photos will need to know what you | | | | them back to the park, so we had to do the |
| would like them to do. go through the D.I.Y | | | | other groups back at the reception, they turned |
| wedding photo guide together, this will help | | | | out ok, though not as photogenic as the park. |
