Don’t Make These Mistakes With Your Wedding Photos
Your wedding is a special day that only happens once. However, it will live on in photos for years to come. For this reason, you want to do everything you can to ensure your pictures turn out as perfect as possible. So, with that in mind, take care to avoid these all-too-common wedding photography mistakes.
Not Hiring A Professional
These days, lots of people advertise their photography services. Anyone can create an ad, but not everyone is actually skilled at photography. As such, take care to hire a real, seasoned professional with real, professional equipment. Ask to see past work they’ve done, read reviews, and make sure your photographer has experience and skill. Otherwise, you might not be so happy with how your pictures turn out.
Pictures Full Of Phones
People are constantly on their phones. Even worse, when they want to remember something, they’ll whip them out and take pictures or videos. Sadly, this can ruin your wedding photos. The last thing you want is a photo album full of pictures with people waving their phones in the air. Be firm with your guests about not using their phones during the ceremony, and don’t be afraid to speak up if you see anyone breaking the rules.
Not Having A Trial Run
You probably have a vision of how you want to look on your big day. More than likely, you have a plan in mind for your hair, your makeup, and the kinds of pictures you’ll take. But, as the old saying goes, practice makes perfect. Book trial sessions with any hair or makeup artists you intend to hire to ensure they can get your dream look down. If your wedding is outdoors, this will give you a chance to see how your makeup and hair hold up against the windy beaches of Maui, the heat of Jamaica, or other natural elements. Outside of that, be sure and speak with your photographer about the types of photos you want and ask to see similar shots in their portfolio.
While you can’t control everything, you can make an effort to make your wedding pictures the best they can be. By avoiding these pitfalls and planning your photos with care, chances are that you’ll like the images you end up with.
