Top Wedding Photography Mistakes You Must Avoid

Not to play favorites – because we love all vendors – but your photographer is one of the most critical professionals you will have at your wedding. After all, they are exclusively accountable for the beautiful wedding images you will get to pore over, treasure and have as a memento forever. 

And if you wish those pictures to be as flawless as feasible, you are going to wish to what some pro photographers have to say. Read the biggest mistakes pro photographers have noticed other couples make – so you can avoid them. 

Not finalising the wedding schedule:

Talk to your wedding photographer in Charleston, SC prior to confirming the schedule for your nuptial day. There are so many things to take into account in regards of photographing & natural light. Particular times of days are more photogenic compared to others (midday sun sheds unfavourable, ugly shadows on the face whereas late-day sun casts a lovely, warm glow on everybody). 

Not sticking to the finalised schedule:

Pay attention & go with the schedule you and your Charleston SC wedding photographer discuss before your big day. Being an hour late can make or break your images. 

Not explaining how you like to appear in pictures:

Beauty is truly pretty subjective. I request my customers to send a picture of themselves prior to the wedding that they like & one that they don’t. 

Not considering a second shooter:

Sometimes couples just look to save money or feel it is too conspicuous for more than one photographer to be present on the nuptial day. But consider this: the 2nd photographer provides another distinctive point of view all through the wedding day that you’d not have had captured otherwise. 

Not getting help organising your guests:

Appoint someone reliable who knows your friends and family to be in charge of organizing guests for portraits. That person can gather the people required, direct them on what shots they will be in, and then release them when they are done. It keeps things moving smoothly and quickly. 

Trying to pose:

A great photographer offers direction for a reason: to get the best moments & shots from the day. The best thing you should do is relax & act natural. Be in that moment – be hopelessly in love with one another – the images will turn out incredible automatically.
