An hour and a half of actual
shoot time (not including travel
time) for your bridal party
and couple portraits is really
cool! Make sure your guests
understand this so you don’t
have to concern yourself with
how they’re doing while you’re
away, or else you may find it
difficult to remain focused on
the session.
“
what is the best
time of day to
shoot?
Magic hour! About 45 to 50
minutes prior to sunset and 10
to 15 minutes after, depending
on the location. It’s when
more colour is visible in the
sky (unless it’s completely
overcast), and there are less
shadows which is a lot more
flattering. If you wish to make
the most of this light, I suggest
starting your reception 30
minutes after sunset.
Any photo location can work
as long as there’s chemistry.
“
how much time is
ideal for the post
ceremony photo
shoot?
what are the
elements that make
for a good photo
location?
how can couples
get the most out
their wedding
photography?
I’m probably not the right
guy to answer this question.
If my clients said to me, “We
want you to photograph us at
a refuse tip,” I’d get excited.
For me any location can work
as long as there’s chemistry.
Love is more attractive than
anything else.
Enjoy the moment, soak
everything in and let yourself
shine - it’s your wedding! Fill
your heart with joy and trust
that your photographer will
capture it. If you find yourself
thinking, “Am I doing the
right thing?” shake it off and
remember that you are allowed
to be who you are.
