Found objects can be a great addition to your compositions and can help you create images that show the unique qualities of each event.
There is no way to know when or where you will find that certain something to photograph. Keep your eyes open, and don’t discount anything without thinking it through. If you see flowers growing in the grass, wait by them until you get a clean shot or use them to enhance your traditional posed shots for the day. If someone leaves behind a program or a box of tissues, that can tell a great story by itself—even without your subject in it.
Utilize architectural details like high archways and design features like chandeliers to your advantage as well . . .
A cutout in a bench can create a frame for a picture, a fence can help frame a portrait, and a doorway could add depth to your shot. Doorways in particular seem to add a feeling of voyeurism, which really helps to drive home the feeling that you’re capturing a behind-the-scenes look at the day.
Look for personalized touches such as handwritten notes or cards sent by the groom. Sometimes a decorative sign can become the subject of your shot with the bride and groom as the background. Utilize architectural details like high archways and design features like chandeliers to your advantage as well, giving the wedding an even more grand overall look.
