It’s important to avoid focusing too closely on individual portraits and details. While images like these enhance your overall product and give your work its point of view and style, they cannot create a complete picture of the wedding. Nothing is more important than images of the couple together. You must be sure to capture a wide array of image looks covering a range of emotion to show your skill and please both families.
You can never go home empty handed, so it’s important to make sure to cover your bases.
Traditionally posed photographs are easily obtained through your direction. The candid photographs of the bride and groom having fun will take a little more work. You can create them two ways: either photojournalistically (completely untouched by your posing skill) or in a natural and candid approach, where you give subtle directions and control the background, letting their responses naturally unfold. A natural, relaxed setup can be a great benefit on a day when you’re not getting as many truly candid moments as you’d like. You can never go home empty handed, so it’s important to make sure to cover your bases. Make sure you return with the product you promised to provide.
