Wedding Shot Tips & Tricks!


Thanks for stopping by. I have created this blogg to have a dynamic and interesting place to visit and possibly give you tips and hints on not only booking your photographer, but also for your friends and family to think about a few things when taking photos at your wedding day.

Today's tip is about getting richer skies when taking shots on a sunny day.

The day that this photo was taken, the sun was very strong - and on those sunny days, it's easy to get a sky that is completely whited out. As you can see from the shadows and and light falling on this couple the sun is at 90 degrees from where I took the shot. That's the key - 90 degrees to the right or left of your subject. If the sky is on your back, the sky will be white (and your couple will be squinting), if the sun is on your couple's back, you will have nothing but silouettes.

This trick works well for any kind of camera - digital or film, expensive or a box camera - no special equipment or post processing necessary! No position yourself well to get that great shot of your favorite people on a sunny day.
