Photographing for your client.



One of the fun things about photographing weddings is basically the unpredictability of the day. You are never sure what kind of images you are going to be taking.

Well, you now to a certain degree. These would be the Getting Ready photographs. The Ceremony and then the Reception. The best part though is finding those gems amongst everything else that you will be photographing.

It is the constant search for the interesting guest's and the special moments that the couple will be taking when they think nobody is watching.

It is also about the beautiful formal photographs and the opportunity to make sure you get some really individual and special photographs that the couple will appreciate long after you have left.

On other occasions it is also really interesting to test your own creativity. What can you create with the model and the location that you are working in. What works well for one photograph might not always be appropriate for every other photograph in the same location.

For me finding the best photograph is not about clicking the shutter release button a million times. Rather it is about watching your client or model and knowing what you can expect when you ask them to do something. By knowing the reaction or even been able to anticipate the action you can be sure to capture the photograph you are looking for.
Do not be shy to ask questions because it is a great way to elicit some reactions from your models.
All collages created here can become some great wall art for you and your family. Just ask.


Enjoy your photography and think beyond just been the photographer. Rather think of it as the treasure maker and the collage creator or any other name that would be suitable for your chosen genre of photography.

Have a great day.
