The bride and groom are usually so busy on their wedding day that without photos to remind them, many of the days special events could fade over time or even forgotten. The vast majority of couples arrange for a professional digital wedding photographer to capture this most important day. Some people will prefer to have the photos made into a CD or DVD rather than an album of still images.
Most wedding photographers have assistants to help them create beautiful wedding albums that will be oh so memorable but if you yourself want to take pictures of a friend's wedding, who will help you? Here are some tips if you find yourself at a friend or relations wedding taking photos with your digital camera.
Many amateur photographers make the mistake of taking pictures with a boring background which is not something you want in a wedding photo. Often when there is a good background there are just too many people in the shot, so if this is the situation, just try and get close and capture a nice head and shoulders shot of the couple. This will eliminate a cluttered photo.
If there is bright sunlight or you are using flash, ask guests who are wearing glasses to remove them just for the shot or as an alternative they could turn their head slightly to the side. If there is someone in the group that you particularly want to take a photograph of but they are in a crowd then try using the zoom, it will give you a good close-up that you wouldn't achieve any other way.
Where possible, try to capture shots that look to be of an unstaged nature as these tend to look very natural when viewed later; one way to do this is to use the cameras optical zoom and catch them unawares. Allways be ready for the next digital wedding photograph because you can't ask people to repeat those unforgettable moments that everybody wants to see again and again.
The last thing you want to happen is for your digital camera to have half charged batteries and a memory card that is already half full as it will restrict how many shots you can take. For any camera with 6 mega pixels or above, you will require at least one gigabyte, preferably two gigabytes of storage space on your card if you intend to use high resolution.
Always remember that the higher the resolution used, the larger the size of prints that can be made so always keep a secure copy of your work so you can re-use them in the future. Once you have the images it is only a matter of printing out the ones you want and saving all of them on a CD for a permanent storage or presentation.
If you are interested in learning digital wedding photography as a profession, you should enroll in a college and become an expert in this field. Often business is gained by word of mouth so you may just become one of the most popular digital wedding photographers in your area.
