Making It As A New England Wedding Photographer

By Arthur Baker


For a photographer who is new in the profession, you obviously want to be one of the greats in this field. Even for those already doing it, they still have a lot to learn as photography is not just about posing and shooting. If you want to become a professional New England wedding photographer, expect a few faults here and there, but with the following tips, you can be sure that things will run a bit smoothly.

When it comes to marriage shooting, here, you cannot try any DIY. For you to take good photos, you need to be relaxed and not overwhelmed by the activities of the day. In short, you need a team that can work in harmony to make sure that the day is a success. Preparation of the bride and groom, wedding venue and reception venue may all take place at different venues, and you need a team to capture from the preparation stage.

As the wedding approaches, ask about the program for the big day. The program acts as good guidance as you will be able to know where to be and at what time. More importantly, you will be able to know which moments you cannot afford to miss as directed by the program.

Having the right gears is very crucial for this job. As you will be having a team, you hence need extra cameras for your team member. Also, note that you have to carry extra fully charged batteries because your cameras batteries power will most likely run out. Other gears like walk around lenses and tripods are essential in taking group shots, and quality still photos respectively.

As a good photo shooter, you should not only stick to the usual that is, bride, groom, the cake, the rings; that is a bit boring. Make it interesting and capture the behind the scenes moments like when a person cries, laughs or those funny dance moves. This is where a team comes in handy because you will be able to capture all the fun and memorable moments.

Always remember that you are the person in charge of all matters related to photo shooting. In that case, take control of that sector and be confident and also authoritative but professionally. Authority comes in when you need to take organized photos like group ones.

As much as you would want to be in control, do not overly control your subjects. Photos are more appealing if those captured were acting naturally. Unless when you need to take particular poses especially for group photos, let everything else be captured spontaneously. When you try to direct every photo you take, they will look weird and fake.

The final secret about being a pro in this field is noting your mistake and accepting that you did it. If the mistake kind of effects the result or the couples expectancy, be humble enough to accept and apologize. Learning from each event is the way to move forward. Even the all-time gurus were once amateurs who never made past failure lawn chairs to sit on.
