Perhaps you've had advice from expert photographers... perhaps you've tried their plans and spent lots of money on their guidance? 

You're still stuck with the same old methods. You see, most photography guides are based on theories "so and so" said, that all rely on what others have reported or have heard from unreliable sources.

They never reveal proven strategies that show you EXACTLY how to make your clients happy, without forcing you to pull your hair out!

They don't discuss the most vital part of working with people in this business!

You don't need some "theoritical" photography training program based on hours of repetition that's impossible to follow (not to mention doesn't work).

I do hope you agree however that there is always room for improvement!

Most amateur wedding photographers and even some professionals will benefit from the  tips on this site.

Wedding photography is within the reach of many amateurs, however never underestimate what is required!

The aim of this 'wedding photography for photographers' site is to give you a broad
overview of the procedure on the day of the wedding.  It will also point you in the right direction regarding training.

There are 2 fundamental approaches to wedding photography.  One, of course, is the traditional, which has withstood the test of time for almost 3 centuries now.

The traditional approach is what is often covered in guides  on how to photograph a wedding.  After all, the methods for traditional wedding photography are relatively simple as they merely involve established  poses during and after the wedding ceremony.

The photojournalistic approach was developed as a direct response to the rather static – some say boring aspect of traditional wedding photography.

Whereas traditional wedding photography requires the bride and groom, and even their family and friends, to pose for the camera, the photojournalistic approach takes on a more spontaneous style.  Shots are candid.

Images tell a story.  The photographer is given more freedom to experiment and to stamp his or her signature on the photos captured.

But since we’re talking about how to photograph a wedding – tips for beginners to be exact – one question begs an answer: which approach should a novice wedding photographer take? 

Should you settle for the traditional approach which most couples desire for posterity?  Or should you try  your hand on the seemingly more rewarding – at least from a creative point of view – photojournalistic approach?

Here’s my advice.

It’s not black and white.  You don’t have to choose between two sides of the coin.  Take the whole damn quarter!

These days, a wedding photographer is supposed to capture important moments of the wedding.  Some of these moments are indeed expected to be presented via the traditional approach.  

However some of these moments allow a lighter, more subdued, and a more dynamic approach.

In short, you can employ a photojournalistic style without dumping the traditional expectations of the couple and their family members.

Traditional poses are usually expected pre-celebration and post-celebration.  Pre-celebration poses include the bride standing beside her wedding gown, the groom displaying the wedding rings, the bride being assisted by her maid/maiden of honor and /or her family members. 

Post-celebration poses include the newlyweds by the altar, the newlyweds joined by the brides family, the newlyweds joined by the groom’s family, and the newlyweds joined by their entourage.

Shots outside of these moments can be taken using the photojournalistic approach.

You will be free to exercise your creativity on the images as long as you capture the moments that matter, the moments that will define the wedding.

Remember these tips when it comes to learning how to photograph a wedding.  I hope you find many useful tips on this site.
