By Elaine Guthrie


Conducting a great photo session requires a lot of planning and information. In spite of a desire for truthfulness, couples are increasingly adoring marriage photography ideas they have seen on the internet such as Facebook. Most weddings take place in summer, and in strong sun, so images taken outside can suffer harsh shadows. Therefore, the guidelines below will come in handy when planning for a wonderful wedding photography Portland Oregon, OR.

Do some research into where you will be taking the photos and try to visit them to have a look around beforehand. It is important you ask the coordinators of any limitations for taking snaps. Most venues, especially the church will not allow clicking and flashing of the camera. Ask for a copy if any for the regulations. This will give you a chance to work out the best places to take a group or shots that are more intimate.

Do not be afraid of a little rain during your ceremony, it can create some amazing photos. However, if it is raining or snowing you will need an umbrella. In addition, your wedding shoes might also get wet and muddy outside in the winter so if you do plan to be outside, bringing something more practical is a good idea, like boots. Grab an umbrella and embrace the drop.

Arrive early. Consider staying somewhere locally the night before if it is a long journey. That way you can arrive in plenty of time and settle down. Do not forget to have a backup of memory cards, batteries among other accessories. In addition, having a second backup photographer can be a great strategy, it allows for one to capture the formal shots and the other to get candid shots.

Depending on the reception venue, you may want to take some pictures in the grounds of the church. Look for a place with features like fireplaces, a big staircase and windows that will provide plenty of space to enable taking a variety of photos. Visit the locations of the different places before the big day and have an idea of a few positions for shots. In addition, get to know how the light might come into play. You may find the couple will want some time to greet the friends and family after the service.

Make sure you have a good range of shots, both of the couple and individually, but equally, do not take too long, as there will be guests waiting for them. It is important you appoint a trusted family member to arrange and gather guests for ease of taking the snaps. You should need plenty of time depending on the distance to sneak the pair off for snaps before the reception.

A lot of time and effort goes into the place settings and table for the reception, so grab some shots of the room and details before people get to it. Sometimes you need to be bold to capture a moment. Remember, other photographers will be competing with you for strategic positions to capture the moment of the day. It is essential to note the couple has set expectations for you.

Before the meal, try to sneak the couple off and stage a fake cutting of the cake in secret. However, it does not auger well, taking pictures of guests with mouthfuls of food. Many visitors will not like the act. Likewise, beeps during speeches, the kiss and vows do not add to the event. Switch off sound before hand and keep it off. Then, when the event happens after the meal, you can stand back or take a different angle to include the crowd essentially giving you two experiences.
