Everything Is In The Small things

There are such a lot of small details that go into a wedding. Regularly a bride might have spent several months picking just the right decorations or the ideal flowers. She'll have put so much effort into each last detail of the wedding that she'll be ecstatic if her shutter-bug manages to capture these on film.

There will be a specific amount of down time as wedding photographers where you will have to hang around for folk to arrive or be seated. You should make use of this time to move around the room taking some close up detail shots of things in the location. Some ideas to think about are close up shots of the wedding cake, floral displays or table centrepieces. These can make beautiful additions to an album, and absent guests will appreciate being able to see everything the other guests saw.

Detail shots are also excellent when photographing the bride. Maybe her dress has some actually intricate beading detail you need to capture in a close up. An extreme close up of the ring on her hand is a nice image she will treasure.

Detail shots of normal special items are also a major hit, so be certain to ask the bride to show you her something borrowed, her something blue, her something old and something new and take photos of them.

A cameraman with a well trained eye will also cover details in the interchange between guests and the cheerful couple. Snapping a shot of the best man changing the groom's tie or a bridesmaid refastening the brides veil can be attractive reminders of the day. In a similar fashion, catching those intimate moments between the guests that nobody else might spot is also a wonderful opportunity. An intimate shot of the groom squeezing his brides hand during her father's speech, or her mum wiping away a tear as her girl takes her promises are memories the couple will treasure forever.
