Before saying that the wedding planning is completed there is however another thing you need to consider: the wedding photography. Depending on the amount you still have left available for other wedding expenses you can decide what you will choose having for your wedding event: a professional or an amateur?
Taking into account the fact that the professional one can ask you for loads of money that you can be or not ready to pay for, ou should still consider the option of hiring an amateur who is prepared to show his/her previous work and then decide what you need, and if what you need are part of the services offered by this amateur photographer.
Here are some wedding photography tips that you should know about when choosing the services provided by the wedding photographer:
- check with the style of the photographer when taking photos of bride and groom portraits, how he deals with the family portraits and the details of those specific moments
- how much importance does he pay before taking the pictures? In case you select him it would be good to know the elements of staging that he works upon before taking a wedding photography
- another wedding photography tip will be the availability of the ceremonial venue of the wedding. If you plan to have it done inside a church, a chapel or a cathedral, you should know how available the site is for taking wedding photos. Some places of worship have strict rules on photography taking, therefore it is good to know this detail in advance
- take a closer look inside the portfolio this photographer has and pay more attention to the wedding photography he has taken in the past. Where did he focus the most; what were the events that he caught their displaying in their most relevant moments?
- when talking with the wedding photographer emphasize the moments that you want to be the most represented through the wedding photography, such as the bridal walk, the vows exchanging with the rings exchanging too, the lighting of the Unity Candle, and so on. He needs to know also what your preferences are, your family’s ones, too, in order to get the best shots of the biggest event of your life: the wedding celebration.
- to reveal another wedding photography tip that will help you find the best photographer, even if he proves to be only an amateur, check with the artistic eye of the photographer. He can stage various mementos with natural backgrounds that reveal their spontaneous beauty in a certain moment of the wedding celebration.
If the moment allows then he must be present, vigilant and gather wedding couple and their guests to benefit from the nature’s generous displaying. Remember that inside your wedding day there will be plenty of moments (the sunset included) when you can take advantage of lights, colors, reflection of the colors in the light at dusk, and so on.
Make sure that the photographer you plan to choose has all these in his agenda covering the wedding photography tips previously mentioned: it will guarantee you a quality choice for your wedding photos.

Disposable Wedding Cameras
Even if you have the best wedding photographer in the world, disposable wedding cameras nearly fall into the must have category. Yes, if you have done your homework your wedding photographer will be a highly trained professional with the experience to know how to get most of the normal pictures that a new couple wants to remember their marriage ceremony. But most does not mean all and unless you have hired an entire army of photographers there is absolutely no way they can be everywhere to catch those truly spontaneous moments that make any celebration memorable.
True, you could hire that army of photographers and hopefully end up with that many more top quality pictures but who can afford that? Okay, maybe Paris Hilton could, but most of us cannot. Besides, who would want that many professional photographers – read, strangers – in your face on one of the biggest days of your life? That is where disposable wedding cameras are a bride & groom’s best friend.
Typically, at least one disposable wedding camera is placed at every table during the wedding reception. The point of this practice is to give the guests have the opportunity to take photographs from their vantage point. This way your own friends and loved ones are empowered to capture your most important wedding moments from different angles and perspectives giving you a permanent record that you would not have otherwise.
On their wedding day, the bride and groom are often pulled in every direction at once. There are so many people to see, so many to greet, and so many things to do that they often report afterwards that the whole event, while being wonderful, was something of a blur to them. But the photographs from disposable wedding cameras can do much to help a young couple revisit and revel in that day.
Because disposable wedding cameras give your guests an opportunity to take pictures of each other – meaning that the more cameras you make available, the smaller the likelihood that you leave your wedding day without a picture of everybody that celebrated with you.
Perhaps more importantly, disposable wedding cameras enable your guests to capture those candid moments that your photographer would miss entirely. Think of the possibility of not getting a picture of the first time grandma coaxed grandpa out onto the dance floor in the past forty years! Think of your flower girl who tried to dress the microphone up in doll clothing. And of course, there are always those embarrassing moments… There are so many potentially priceless moments in a wedding reception.
The photographs that you get from your disposable wedding cameras might not turn out quite as polished as those that you get from your professional photographer, but as a result of their very personal and often candid nature they are often cherished just as deeply. And, even better yet, duplicate pictures from your disposable cameras make a great enclosure in your wedding thank you notes, adding a personal touch and providing your loved ones with something personal and tangible they can hang on to and remind themselves of your wedding day.
