Learn to capture contemporary weddings and create images with a lasting impression
-
The job of a wedding photographer requires so much more than just turning up on the big day and shooting a few romantic scenes. They must also display indispensable qualities, such as organisation, flexibility, adaptability and reliability. Being a wedding photographer also carries great responsibility – after all, such an event usually only takes place once in a lifetime, so you can’t afford to make errors such as being late, running out of battery power or losing images due to technical failure.
Besides taking pictures, you will be more than just a photographer for the happy couple, getting a private insight into their lives and witnessing first-hand the many emotions that the day brings. One of the most important things here is to let the bride and groom take charge of the day and avoid making them upset by your presence during important events, such as the wedding ceremony, speeches or the first dance.
With the help of professional wedding photographer Steve Jones, we’ll look at all the key aspects of how to capture these special once-in-a-lifetime events.
