1. Create a 'Shot List'
This might be one of the most useful tips on Wedding Photography, for the amateur or professional already, that is: ask the couple so make a list of closest family, or friends that they want to be photographed later on the wedding day, so it is not screwed, while shooting a wedding begins. There is nothing worse, than the photographer forgot to take pictures of the happy couple with a family or a close friend!
Family photograph can sometimes make us very stressful you know!. Many invited guests who arrive without us knowing who they are, whether relatives or others???. The solution if you feel confused, it is better to look for one of the family members of the bride (or one for each side of the family) that can be "the director" at the photocall. The "the director" can sort out which family and which ones are not, and of course it helps you in photoshoots and keep the things that are not desirable.
3. Investigate the Location
Visit the location and the exact spots where you will take a shot before the day is important. While most professional photographers do not do this - but it can really help you to have an idea of a few positions for a photo shoot and find out how light can play along.
4. In Wedding Photography, Preparation is the key
So many things could go wrong on the day of the wedding - so photographers need to prepare everything carefully and well. Photographers must have a backup plan (if at any time the weather can turn bad), have a spare battery, spare memory card, know a quick route to get to the location.
5. Give the best results to married couples.
Show your work in a professional manner. The photographer must know what they want, how much snap photos as they want, whether there are important things that they want to note, how will the end result, what will they get from the photographer. If you can skip it all well, make sure you have the price of the deal, from the beginning.
