If you're getting married soon then you have probably wondered who you are going to hire to take your pictures, and how those pictures are going to turn out. There are a lot of new ideas emerging with wedding photography these days and it's exciting to see some of the things you can do.
Let me share a few ideas with you that might seem a little strange a first, but could be a great way to capture this special day in a way that you will never forget.
One idea is to have you wedding photographer take some photos of you, as you are getting married, from above. Of course it would be cool to take some real aerial photos of the ceremony, if it's outside, but you can also do this indoors. Even from five or ten feet above you, using a camera crane, the photographer would be able to get some really great shots that will help you remember your ceremony in a special way.
Another idea is to take some panoramic shots at the wedding location. It might be better to take some of these shots outdoors, perhaps before or after the ceremony. Most cameras these days have a feature where panoramic shots are really simple to put together nicely. This could really make a great picture to hang on your wall to remember your wedding.
I've also been thinking a lot about photo shop. I know photo shop is for touching things up, when it comes to wedding photography, but why can't you be a little different and add something humorous or unbelievable to one of your pictures? I think it would be really funny to throw in something really off-beat in the background of one of the shots, just for fun.
Lastly, and I've heard of this one being done, some brides are choosing to do a special photo session after the wedding that is a little unique. They'll go to some muddy location, or even a lake or something, and just completely trash their wedding dress in front of the camera. This is another fun way to be unique and make your wedding a memorable experience.
The main thing to remember is that this is your wedding and you can have fun with it. It's a very special occasion, but that doesn't mean you can't be a little different and capture some moments in ways that will put a smile on your face twenty years later.
