Wedding Photography Tips For Brides Of Soldiers.

By Mary Trent Parker


Brides want their wedding day to be reminiscent of a fairy tale. Part of making this dream become a reality is to include the right people behind the scenes. Everything from the music, the catering, to the photographs need to be nothing short of excellent. When it comes to professional portraits, however, wedding photography tips for brides of all ages can help bring about stunning results.

The future bride is encouraged to take the extra time to meet with the person who will be photographing the event. Some people are very busy and believe an assistant can take care of this for her. The bride is the one who will be photographed therefore she should be the one the meet with the photographer in person.

Photographer's who have been in the business for many years are very good at knowing what poses compliment different body types best. More often than not a series of pictures of the bride, and in some cases the wedding party, are taken a day or so before the actual ceremony. This allows ample time for staging poses correctly. The bride should be aware that a photographer may move her gown from time to time or give verbal direction. Depending on the photographer and the bride, he or she may actually touch the arms and head in order to achieve the correct poses when verbal direction is not accomplishing the task.

Most photographer's are open to ideas. They are artists, after all. Brides are encouraged to look through bridal magazines for pictures they would like to re-create. In some cases this will be possible and other cases it will not be in the bride's best interest.

The absolute most important thing is attitude. Emotions show in photographs. The bride is encouraged to ignore the fact there is even a photographer present. She should do her best to calm her mind and simply let her own personality shine through. There is no need to always look into the camera, it is the photographer's job to capture a variety of angles.

Facial expressions become fake if they are held for too long. Photographer's know this. The goal is to capture the emotion in an instant. This is one reason why numerous pictures are taken. When all elements are right, no other picture can surpass the bride's.

Paying attention to detail makes a big difference. Well-manicured fingernails are a must. Chipped polish and jagged edges are obvious in pictures. This is not what a bride will want to see in her pictures. Hair and make-up needs to be finished off just right. Runny eyeliner and mascara should not be worn as most brides do shed a tear or two on her big day.

There are many wedding photography tips for brides available. If so inclined, the future wife can study posing techniques from a technical viewpoint. Discussing filter effects such as a soft lens, or creating a black and white picture with a minimum amount of color incorporated should be discussed with the photographer ahead of time. It is very common for people to like more than one style of photography; finding a photographer that is open to different forms can result in outstanding portraits.
