With the desire that your photos are as natural and emotional as possible on the day of your Wedding I have made this list of tips for you who are getting married soon :

 

1.- Ignore me! Yes, this is what I always tell the couples and it is that the less  you are aware of me, then more I will be able to approach and take photos that are authentic and not posed,  Of course! there will be a moment when you will have to pose slightly under my direction but I will always try to make it as natural as possible since you are not professional models.

​

2.- Relax before or during the photo session, have a drink. It will release some tension.

 

3.- If you feel better accompany your best friends during your arrangement, it´s always good to laugh a lot!

​

4.- Don´t be afraid to show your own personality.

My job is in many ways to capture that person who is in front of me in his essence.

To make them feel comfortable while I'm there.

​

5.- Remember that everything happens very quickly that day and you should enjoy it to the fullest. Delegate to someone the eissues you have, either your Planner or a close relative.

 

6.- The Waltz

As far as possible, try to have  the lighting at that time not only with colored LED lights as skin tones vary a lot and the result can be very unfavorable. What you need to do in this case is to talk with the lighting designers  (Planner or DJ) and have them light up the place with warm lights and not turn off all the ambient light( only 50%) so that the decoration of the place can be seen and does not look like a dark cave. 

 

The projection of figures with reflectors (shapes and colors projected by the DJs) Is something that can ruin the photos of your "First Dance".

Avoid this, talk to your Planner or the person in charge. In my experience I have seen very good photos ruined as a result of these effects as well as because of the artificial smoke of the DJ during this moment. That cannot be corrected in edition and it ´s a shame.
