What exactly does a wedding lighting engineer do? Must we hire a lighting engineer?

The so-called wedding lighting engineer's role is actually to have a clear design and scheme for all lighting effects that will be used in the whole wedding. The specific application in the operation process is very complicated, including the use of various lights, the coordination with the position of characters, the coordination with music playing and other factors.

I think everyone will feel a little strange when they hear the name of the wedding lighting engineer. In fact, this role is also an essential role in the whole wedding process. Generally speaking, he is responsible for the layout and debugging of wedding lighting effects. From the details, it also needs to match the lighting patterns needed by each link. Here are two main tips to draw your attention to this position.

First, the lighting layout of the wedding lighting engineer.

Lighting arrangement is a very important link in the wedding, and the quality of lighting can play a very important role in the wedding. Imagine that if the lights don't catch up with the couple, even some low-level mistakes will undoubtedly be fatal to the whole wedding. Therefore, lighting engineers need to know the structural characteristics of the site in advance and where the lights should be arranged in order to play a better role without affecting the overall aesthetic level.

Second, the lighting choice of wedding lighting engineers.

As we all know, in formal wedding occasions, the choice of lighting is also rich and varied, some may be chasing light, and some may be fixed beams. Different lighting, the effect will be very obvious differences, the color of lighting is also an important factor, which needs to be decided according to the actual situation. Generally speaking, lighting engineers should communicate well with newcomers in advance, and it is best to have some simple rehearsals. In this way, you can basically understand the lighting required by the main process and try to avoid accidents on site.

Of course, although the preparation is quite adequate, sometimes some unexpected situations will inevitably occur. So the key point is how to effectively resolve it. I believe this requires an experienced lighting engineer. Even if there is a problem with a certain light, we should strive for other lights to supplement it, as long as it does not affect the overall effect. These two aspects are the matters that wedding lighting engineers should pay attention to, and should be prepared in advance before the wedding begins.
