Wedding photography?
I like the tag-team style wedding photography–like where a husband and wife pair up and do weddings together…Just wondering if anyone here has heard of any absolutely great ones? Websites would be nice! Thanks so much! :)
Woah, good point, totally forgot to mention that…

Southern California!

Thanks :P

    I would get the pro if you can afford it. Not only is this a one shot affair with no retakes – ever, there is a lot that goes into a wedding shoot that you don't see in the pictures, but make getting those pictures possible.

    If you are getting married at City Hall, get a photo student. If you are putting some real effort to making the wedding the special event is should be, then get someone who puts the same kind of effort into your photos.

    Photographing a wedding can easily overwhelm an inexperienced photographer and it shows. I've seen it happen (plenty of times) that they get technically good images, but they have missed capturing the wedding.

    It's your wedding, it's your call, but, if you make a mistake there is no way to fix it.

    The wedding photographers I work with also provide a level of security. If they get sick or for some other reason can't do the shoot, they have someone they can call in who will do the job you expect. They have backup equipment so if something breaks, and it occasionally does, they can still cover the wedding. They also come with a contract that spells out everything you can and should expect that they can be held accountable for. In addition, as photographers holding themselves out to the public as professionals, they can be held to the 'common standards of the profession.'

    We used Marina Bichinsky for photo services. I would NOT recommend this vendor for any photography related services. Besides loosing 1/3rd of our wedding, she usually does not reply to emails, phone or anything else… Good luck :)

    Go to http://www.photo.net and search the wedding forum archives for first time and beginner. You will find reading material enough for several visits.

    I certainly hope you are not charging for this. Unless you are exceptionally talented and experienced in photography (rather than photoshop) you are unlikely to produce more than mediocre snapshots. Weddings are usually fast paced, and you only get the one chance to get the shot.

    Try to get a backup camera and flash, if you can come up with one. I assume you will be shooting digital, so have lots of memory. Have extra batteries Visit the venue before the wedding and take some test shots. If you know about manual camera settings and are comfortable with metering and setting your camera, then shoot manual. If you do not know how to shoot manual, then use program mode. If you are inside in a dimly lit room, you will have lots of blown out faces with dark, cavish backgrounds. You need to learn a technique called dragging the shutter to expose for the subject while allowing some ambient light to illuminate the background. Also bouncing the flash is a good thing to learn.

    If you are outside in the daylight, you will be marginally better off. Use the flash and balance it with the ambient to avoid raccoon eyes and harsh shadows.

    If you are in a church, be prepared not to use flash during the ceremony, most churches won't allow it. Take a tripod and shoot from the balcony or the back of the aisle.

    If you don't get but two good pictures, one needs to be a posed shot of the B & G, and one of the bride alone. When posing people, never never turn them square to the camera. Always use an angle. They should have a front and back shoulder, not a left and right. If it bends, bend it. Have the bride hold her flowers at waist level, or at a hip for variety. In group shots, the B & G are in the center of the grouping, either in front or above. Don't try to get fancy, get pleasing arrangements and shoot several times.

    Take control of groups and the other photogs as well. If you are the event photographer, ask others with cameras to let you get your shot first. Otherwise, the people will be looking every which way, and that does not make for pleasing portraits. You may have to insist a bit, people can be pushy in getting a picture. I had to remind an over- zealous MOG a couple of times recently to stay back when I was shooting the formals.

    Be sure the wedding couple understands your limitations, and the fact that their pictures may not be all they are hoping for. Of course, you may nail every image in photographic perfection, but realistically, you will have a lot more misses than hits. Hopefully you will produce some good pictures for their memories. It is a big responsibility, so prepare as best as you can, and good luck.

    When you study art, you have to make your own opportunities afterwards. If photography is your passion, perhaps you should concentrate on photography options.

    Talk to your step-daughter. Better yet, let her father do it. Explain to her that it would be better for everyone involved if the photos are taken by a professional. No, complaints to her mother about who, when, where, or why. It would also free her mother up to be able to enjoy the wedding. Then, be prepared to pay for the professional photographer.
