As wedding photographers, the question we get asked most of all is by brides, wanting to know if there are any simple steps they can take that can help them look gorgeous on their photographs. Being such an important aspect of their day, we thought we would share some tips to help all the brides out there… \u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Tip #1: Invest in quality wedding photography<\/b> <\/span>\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

This may seem like a given, but it\u2019s often hard for brides to decide on whom to choose for their wedding, and find someone who will fit in their budget. Often, brides make the mistake of entrusting a \u2018friend\u2019\u2013 or a relative, with getting the candid<\/i> wedding photos. While this may sound like a good idea, you have to remember that shooting a wedding is a lot of work. First, you\u2019re expecting your friend to forego most of the fun during your wedding because he or she will be stuck behind the camera, and second you\u2019re giving them the enormous responsibility of getting quality pictures from hours and hours of ceremony, with rapidly changing light and a multitude of distractions. A professional wedding photographer knows how to work within all this\u2013 and has made the investment in skill and equipment to make sure all the wedding pictures are the way they should be.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Experienced

Experienced wedding photographers are able to capture the moment\u00a0<\/b> \u00a0<\/b><\/p><\/div>\n

Tip #2:\u00a0(for brides) Your Make Up Artiste is your best friend!\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

<\/b> Many make-up artists are experts at knowing what looks good on the camera\u2013 and what will work accordingly. Well done make-up will make you look glamorous and also give you a natural glow. When you\u2019re meeting make-up artistes make sure you take a look at their work, and choose someone you are comfortable with. As far as possible, opt for your MUA to come to you (to your home or hotel room) instead of you going to their studio on your wedding day. Not only will it be far more comfortable in your own space, you’ll get to spend more time with your family on your wedding day. And of course, your photographer will have that much more freedom to shoot you while you’re getting ready!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tip #3: Selecting your outfit <\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

This is probably the single-most important decision for a bride for her wedding day! I don\u2019t need to tell you much here, but here are some important points from a photographer\u2019s perspective:<\/span><\/p>\n

COLOURS:<\/strong> Obviously, bright purple, reds and pinks go a long way. During a wedding, a bride has to stand out. Make sure your d\u00e9cor and overall wedding theme colors do not clash, but complement your dress.<\/p>\n

STYLE<\/strong>: I can\u2019t stress enough how important it is to BE COMFORTABLE in your wedding outfit. Or at least, reasonably comfortable. You have to remember that you\u2019re going to be spending hours in it \u2013 and the happier you are with life in general while you\u2019re in your chosen outfit, the happier you\u2019re going to look in your pictures!<\/p>\n

SNEAK PICTURES:<\/strong> When you\u2019ve decided where (designer\/ store) to buy your outfit (s), don\u2019t rely only on the mirror or what the designer or their staff say. Take a few pictures while you\u2019re draping\/ trying the fabric or ready outfit\u2013 so you get an idea of what you look like in pictures. Later, it might help to share the pictures with your photographer so he\/she knows what to expect and be mentally prepared.<\/p>\n

\"A

With the right outfit, you\u2019ll really be on top of the world!\u00a0<\/b><\/p><\/div>\n

Tip #4: If you\u2019re really HAVING FUN- your wedding pictures will reflect this.<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

I can\u2019t stress how important it is to be happy and \u2018chilled out\u2019 on your wedding day. If you\u2019re worried about a million things\u2013 like things running late, important people missing from your grand entrance, or things like missing props\u2013 it\u2019s going to be apparent in your pictures. Conversely, if you\u2019re really having FUN during your wedding your wedding pictures will also reflect this. GO with the flow: Things WILL go wrong. It\u2019s the nature of things. Let go after a while and just have fun!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"When

When everything goes right, all that\u2019s left is to have fun at the wedding\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p><\/div>\n

Tip #5: Your wedding is much more than just your Pheras!<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

A lot of people tend to forget that candid wedding photographers LOVE behind-the-scenes moments. Most of these moments really happen in the run up to the wedding\u2013 laughing happy pictures of you surrounded by the people closest to you. These could be pictures of you getting ready for your sangeet or the crazy moments where you\u2019re pressed for time and need to start getting ready. Or even a relaxed mehendi ceremony with your best friends and siblings.<\/span><\/p>\n

a. It\u2019ll be a good idea to ask your photographer to show up at your home an hour or so before you\u2019re scheduled to leave for the venue so that you\u2019ll get fun pictures of what was happening that day.<\/p>\n

b. While you don\u2019t need to \u2018pose\u2019 for the camera, give your photographer enough opportunities to take pictures of you. Every time you change outfits or venues (however small a change it may be), ensure that you spare a few minutes for a close-up and full-length portraiture. Enjoy the attention, chat and dance with people who matter most\u2013 forget about the camera, and have a good time.<\/p>\n

Quieter moments with your close friends and family can be incredible fun<\/p><\/div>\n

Tip #6: Learn to pose. Really. It\u2019s a lot of work! <\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

Most of us hate getting our picture taken\u2026I certainly do. But you\u2019re getting married and you\u2019ve spent a LOT of time on your wedding day look\u2026the one thing you and your photographer will want is amazing bridal portraits. On the big day, your wedding photographer might help you feel more comfortable in front of the camera, by demonstrating some simple poses. However, if you know you\u2019re camera shy practicing before-hand can go a long way.<\/span><\/p>\n

a. Look through wedding magazines, blogs, Pinterest boards<\/strong><\/em> (or http:\/\/arjunkarthaphotography.com<\/a>) to see how real brides and models pose in wedding wear\u2013 try replicating those looks in front of a mirror. Don\u2019t worry if you feel \u2018goofy\u2019 doing it\u2013 the effort is worth it.<\/span><\/p>\n

b. Try and find your \u2018good-side\u2019:<\/strong><\/em> All of us have a side of our face and body that we like more than the other. Decide which one that is by practicing in front of a mirror, and tell your photographer which one you prefer. It REALLY makes a difference!<\/span><\/p>\n

c. Don\u2019t just pose\u2026have fun:<\/strong><\/em> Try and get into a relaxed, informal mood with your photographer. When you\u2019re REALLY laughing, that\u2019s when you\u2019ll laugh with your eyes\u2026and come back with a really awesome wedding portrait.<\/span><\/p>\n
