Cornwall Wedding Photographer Gives 10 Top Tops
Being a wedding photographer on the bride and grooms big day is a huge responsibility. Heres some tips on making it go well.
1) Make sure you have a pre-defined list of pictures you are going to take. Check out the location ibeforehand and know where you want to position people for the best shots. Involve the bride and groom and ask their opinions on where they might like their photos taken and in what syle.
2) Speak to the best man. Weddings can deviate from the pre-agreed arrangements and its important to have a point of contact with the best man to help arrange groups and keep things in order. The last thing you should do is ask the bride and groom to help round people up for group shots.
3) Be prepared, very prepared. So much can go wrong so make sure you have a spare camera, batteries, SD cards etc. Request a detailed itinerary from the best man and attend any rehearsals.
4) Remember the little things. Intimate pictures of the rings, order of service, flowers etc can often be as powerful and appreciated as the typical portrait shots.
5) Pre plan the group shots. It can be hard to take shot of a large group. Know in advance where and how this will be done e.g. take ladders if need be.
6) Be creative. It can be all too easy to take the expected portrait and group shots and the end results can be a little boring. Take informal shots, mix with the wedding guests and be alert for interesting opportunities that present themselves.
7) Dont automatically delete shots that are not perfect. With digital cameras the temptation exists to delete everything that wasnt a perfect shot. Very often you may be getting rid of some of the most interesting shots.
Consider using an additional photographer. This can take the pressure off and sometimes 2 different perspectives will make for a better set of results.
9) Practise shooting in different lighting conditions. You may be shooting in a poorly lit church where flash photography isn’t permitted or at a reception room that has no natural light. Make sure you know how to bounce a flash or diffuse it to get great results.
10) Be confident. At some point in the day you will be running the show and being able to communicate calmly and effectively is important. Being shy isnt an option.

Juice $3.24 Spike Lee’s longtime cinematographer, Ernest R. Dickerson, made his directorial debut with this violent story about four Harlem teens whose lives are changed when a store robbery goes wrong. The film has been likened to an urban The Wild Bunch, but it is far too artificial for that. With Dickerson’s eye, Juice understandably looks great, but at the end of the day it is only a slightly better versi… |

Red vs. Blue The Blood Gulch Chronicles: The First Five Seasons $26.49 Though this irreverent animated series from Rooster Teeth Productions is inspired by the blockbuster Halo video game franchise, one doesn’t need to be familiar with the game–or gaming in general–to appreciate Red vs. Blue’s skewering of action tropes, military bravado, and science fiction in general.
