How can I take my own wedding photos?

Taking wedding photos is really tiring. It takes a lot of preparation to shoot a day. Every couple wants their wedding photos to be perfect, and they all want to shoot the truest self. How can they take their own wedding photos? Then, I will introduce the related preparation work and methods and skills.

Preparatory work:

1. Take your own wedding photos, the quality may not be as high as that of professional photographers. It is important to go through this process. Both husband and wife have their own preparations to do, and it is best to do what they like and are good at.

2. When taking wedding photos, you should think about what scenes to take. For example, there are desert scenes, grassland scenes, snow-capped mountains scenes, beach scenes, sunset backlighting and so on.

3. Learn some composition skills and download some favorite wedding photos online for your reference. Wedding photos should avoid too many props, too much makeup, exaggerated expressions and movements, and need to learn some natural photo poses together in advance.

4. Regarding the lens, it is recommended to focus.

5. Shoot in raw format. Later, you can adjust it directly in the computer, adjust the white balance/light/crop, and then export jpg.

Shooting skill

1. Discover the most beautiful place of the bride. Yes, in your eyes, the bride is beautiful from any angle, but you still need to know some composition knowledge, such as side face/front/back, and even give some suggestions on movements and wedding dress placement. Because she is a stump and you are a photographer, she doesn't know whether the skirt is wrinkled, whether the hairstyle is elegant or not, and whether the arm is squeezing out fat. Sometimes adjusting the direction of the face 10 degrees, or adjusting a strand of hair, the effect is completely different.

2. Pay attention to the focal length. It's easier to take close-ups, and you can adjust the focal length manually. If you take a picture with a tripod, first set the focal length of the bride's face by AF, then set it to MF fixed focal length, and then run over and press the remote control.

The most important thing is the nature of the body and the pleasure of the mood. You can tell jokes and then simulate some relaxed and romantic scenes.
