Tips for getting the best shots on your Weddings Day

Bjorn Schmal • Mar 30, 2024

Your wedding day is a once-in-a-lifetime event, and you want to make sure every moment is captured beautifully. Here are some tips to help you get the best shots on your special day.

  1. Communication is key: Before your wedding day, have a detailed discussion with your photographer and videographer about your vision, preferences, and must-have shots. Make sure they understand your style and expectations to ensure a seamless experience.

  2. Plan for natural lighting: Natural lighting can make a huge difference in the quality of your photos and videos. If possible, schedule your ceremony and portrait sessions during the golden hour, which is the hour before sunset. This soft, warm light will give your photos a magical glow.

  3. Be present in the moment: It's easy to get caught up in the excitement and frenzy of your wedding day, but remember to take a moment to breathe and enjoy the experience. When you're present and relaxed, it reflects in your photos and videos, creating authentic and heartfelt memories.

  4. Trust your professionals: Your wedding photographer and videographer are experts in their field. Trust their creative vision and let them guide you throughout the process. They have the experience and knowledge to capture the best shots, so allow them to work their magic.

  5. Capture candid moments: While posed shots are essential, some of the most memorable moments happen spontaneously. Encourage your photographer and videographer to capture candid shots of you and your loved ones laughing, dancing, and sharing heartfelt moments. These candid shots often evoke the true emotions of the day.
