Smart and Comfortable Dressing
Most weddings are pretty fancy affairs and you don’t want to stand out with your queer dressing sense. Plus a good photographer is the one who can blend with the crowd and take natural looking photos.
Equally, a wedding day tends to be long and you have lots of equipments to carry so you must avoid wearing formal suit with new, tight shoes.
Always wear smart but comfortable clothes – especially the shoes.
Assistant Friend
Take a friend who can double-up as a photographer or an assistant. Your friend will shoot some candid moments while you are busy taking the formal shots.
They can also be useful assistants, carrying your equipments, making sure your gear is safe and holding diffusers, reflectors or off-camera flashguns.
Firm but friendly
A wedding photographer in Calgary usually has lots of groups to organize, while most of them are not comfortable in front of the camera.
However, must always keep in mind it’s a happy occasion. Make your audience feel comfortable as it is very important for them to smile and pose in front of the camera, regardless of the weather condition, crowd and nervousness. Be firm and confident, and also make them relax by making the situation light and funny.
Stay calm and keep clicking
During tough situation, relax yourself by taking a deep breath. When faced with extremely nervous groups or couple, it is important to make them think they are looking good.
Always use fast lenses
All Calgary wedding photographers confirm that fast lenses are a big bonus at weddings because they let you use safe hand-holding shutter speeds in extremely low light without the need of pushing the sensitivity up very high.
False lenses also have the advantage of allowing you to restrict depth of field to blur backgrounds and focus all attention to your subject.
They are also relatively affordable in comparison with fast zoom optics. One can cover many weddings with focal lengths including 24mm, 50mm and 85mm on a full-frame camera.
