This article is intended to give you some tips on how to take better pictures at a wedding where you might be a guest. It is not intended as a complete lesson on Wedding Photography for the professional wedding photographer. Here's why...
Professional wedding photography is a demanding photographic discipline. For example, in the regular NYI Complete Course in Professional Photography, the student studies the printed NYI lesson on Mardi Gras Dresses Photography, listens to three hours of audiotape, and watches two videotapes – all devoted to wedding photography. We use several renowned wedding photographers as mentors including Monte Sucker, perhaps the best-known wedding photographer and teacher in the world! What's more, if the student wants to go on and specialize in wedding photography and become a professional wedding photographer, he or she is given additional texts to read, additional audio programs to listen to, and also special training in the business of wedding photography. Objective: To train the student so that he or she ...
... is fully prepared to get into the business of wedding photography...and succeed!
To give you an idea how it works, one of our most recent graduates, Brent C. from Utah, just sent NYI this note along with the certificate for his graduation:
"Thank you very much for all you've done for photography. I have enjoyed this Course and I'm satisfied with what I've learned. I have loved photography for many years and I thought I had a grasp on what made a great image.
As I started this Course I realized that I had a lot to learn. I took this course seriously and have begun a small portrait and wedding business. I've already made enough money to payback my NYI tuition and most of the camera equipment I own.
I have enjoyed the sections on exposure, lighting, film and the tapes I received from my advisor especially. My favorite part of the Course however was the videos with Monte Sucker."
A lot of churches today have church services scheduled pretty soon after the wedding concludes, so many times the photographer ends up being rushed time wise on getting the group photos for you. I've had priests tell me immediately after the receiving line concludes, "You have only 20 minutes to get all your groups done. We've got a church service starting soon."
In my email to be bride before the wedding date, I always try to avoid having this happen by asking if there is a church service planned for after the wedding...and, if so, how soon will it begin after the wedding . I point out that everyone will need to RUSH back in immediately if we are crowded for time by the church. Don't let others complicate it for your photographer by them slipping out of the room before all the group photos are taken.
