How to take Wedding Pictures

Either way make sure that you have b>, in other words if possible visit the venues that the ceremony and the reception will be held at. Talk to the people that work at both as they will know where most of the photographers set up their cameras and also the best locations. Ask if flash photography is allowed at the ceremony as you don't want to turn up without the right kit!

Make sure you know who the important people are that the bride and groom will want in the photos and plan your group shots to cover all combinations. I hope it won't be too complicated.

It is a good idea to have the children photographed first before they mess up their clothes and get bored.

Then go for the biggest group shot that the bride and groom want before you start to lose people and work down until you just have the bride and grooms pictures.

Make sure that you know the order of events; cake cutting, speeches, dances as you don't want to miss anything. I have worked at a number of weddings where the reception order is different from the norm. Most photographers end up posing the cake cutting shot as this way you are not trying to battle against all of the relatives with their flashing cameras.

Last but not least make sure you have someone with you to act as an assistant, helping you to co-ordinate the groups and generally help out.
