Professional Wedding Photography

Do you know the difference between amateur and professional wedding photography? Anyone with a camera that knows which way to point it can call themselves a photographer. If you're a photographer and are looking to start a wedding photography business or already have one started and want to improve your techniques and increase your number of clients and customers, what to do? How can you go from being an amateur to a true professional?

Creating special and Unique Moments

One of the secrets to professional wedding photography is being very creative. For professional wedding photography, brides are going to expect something a bit more special and unique. After all, she will spend literally dozens if not even hundreds of hours picking out all the many details needed for a wedding, from her dress to the decorations, wedding favours and everything else. Getting high quality professional wedding photography is imperative to remind the entire family of all those important details for years to come.

Creative Poses & Wedding Photography

Being creative with photography is going to mean dressing up the poses for the bride and the groom. Just having everyone stand up and stare at the camera expresses and conveys nothing.

Many portraits and pictures today have the bride and groom sharing a kiss with the groom perhaps pulling her long veil in front of them for an added romantic touch. They may be standing on their tiptoes to reach over the top of the wedding cake for another kiss. They may also be standing with the groom behind the bride, his arms around her waist, as they stare out a window or off into the sunset.

In addition, these types of creative poses are going to be up to the photographer to control; the bride may have some ideas of her own but of course it's not really her responsibility to direct the photography. High quality professional wedding photography will mean that the photographer has these poses and shots planned out beforehand.
