The wedding photos are a huge part of your wedding memories and experience. And if you want them to be good, you’ll have to make some effort. First of all, hire a pro wedding photographer. But that’s by far not all you need. The pieces of advice you’ll find out from this post are truly unique – you’ve probably never even thought about it. But these little things will help you get better wedding pics, which is worth consideration, isn’t it?
More makeup for wedding photos
Wedding photographers say that in the pics, less makeup shows. That’s a strange thing but a fact. If you’re wearing just a touch of makeup, you’ll look like there’s no makeup at all in the wedding photos. So, if you want your wedding makeup to be seen and accentuate your look, wear a little bit more makeup than you’d like. The easiest way to find out the right level of makeup is to consult with a wedding makeup artist and make a try-out + short photoshoot. You’ll see how you look in the photos and the difference with the look in the mirror.
Nice background for wedding cake cutting
We’re sure most of you haven’t even thought about it, but when you’re cutting your wedding cake – if you want this ritual to be filmed or photographed – you have to pick the right place to do it. Often, a couple doesn’t have much of a choice in this matter. Although if you do, think beforehand about your cake cutting ceremony, talk with your wedding photographer, pick the best location – for example, a table near a floor to ceiling window or next to a wall embellished with floral wedding décor, etc. Definitely not near a backdoor of your venue or some service room. Remember, the background will show in the photos.
Your wedding venue must have open-space zone for wedding photos
When you’re picking a venue for your wedding, It’s important to think about your future wedding pics and choose the location that has a lot of open space. If the venue is tight and can provide only narrow pathways and small rooms or tiny outdoor zones, it will be very hard for the photographer to take perfect wedding photos. With not enough space, he or she will probably have a hard time with the lighting (the photographer simply won’t be able to shoot you from another side or angle), background, and some other issues. So, try to book a wedding venue with enough open space or consult with your wedding photographer in advance.
