Weddings can be very chaotic for everyone involved in the wedding. As a wedding photographer it's a great idea to have a plan, and schedule so that you can make the most of your time, and capture the best and most photographs possible in the given amount of time to ultimately make the bride and groom happy.
Before you head to the location of the wedding or photo shoot, make sure that you eat something. You actually may be so busy later that you might not have time to eat. Pack all of your gear, and double check to make sure that you have everything, batteries, memory discs, extra batteries etc.
Before the wedding takes place, most brides like to have the wedding party photographed. This can include photos of the bride and bridesmaids getting ready with hair and makeup. You can also shoot the Groom and Groomsmen getting ready as well. You might want to take the time to take some detailed photos of cufflinks, shoes, flowers or any other special memento items. These photos can be some of the most interesting and unique. A great photo is of the wedding gown before it goes on the bride. You may also want to take photos of the bride's dress being zipped up, shoes being put on, veil being arranged, garter going on, etc. Before the ceremony other great photos can include shots of the guests arriving and being seated, or greeting each other. You may also want to take pictures of the venue, reception room, flowers and decorated tables.
When the ceremony begins or is about to begin be sure to photograph the parents and grand parents, the Groom and Groomsmen arriving, the bridesmaids with groomsmen. Also be sure to photograph the Bridesmaids individually if not paired up with the groomsmen, the Maid of honor, the flower girls, the ring bearer, and the Bride with her Father walking down the aisle. Make sure to continue to take pictures of the ceremony - the Father handing the Bride to Groom, as well as the vow exchange and ring exchanges. When the ceremony is over, be sure to capture the whole bridal party as they make their way out, and especially the newly married couple.
After the ceremony has ended, you'll want to get some action shots of everyone approaching the Bride and Groom to congratulate them. This is a great time to capture the emotions of everyone who is involved with the wedding, family and friends.
As a wedding photographer, it's great to have a plan of action to keep you on task and to keep your clients happy. Keep this schedule in mind whenever you plan on taking photos at a wedding as it will serve as a guideline for the before the ceremony and ceremony shots that you may want to take.
