Bridal Prep
A lot of photographers’ favourite part of the day to capture, bridal prep can contain the entire gamut of emotion – from nerves, to extreme laughter, tears and excitement, to incredibly quiet and reflective; it’s all there in bridal prep. Here are pieces by our members that specifically offer bridal prep tips and techniques:
This is Storytelling: ‘Life vs Dr Who’ by David Scholes
It’s an absolute pleasure today to have David Scholes on the site, taking us behind the scenes of his recent Reportage Story Award. Just the top 4% of submissions were awarded by our Collection One judges; to obtain a Reportage Story Award means the photographer has captured lots of different moments to an incredibly high standard, representing the very best storytelling in the business (which is always a massive goal for wedding photographers).
David shares fantastic insights into focusing on moments and feelings rather than technical things, framing and composition tips, shooting close and low, anticipation and layering, his OCF set up for the evening, and much more. It’s fascinating to hear in-depth analysis about so much from a wedding – thanks so much, David!
This Is How: ‘A Different Perspective’ by Dominique Shaw
For the twenty-eighth of our ‘This is How…’ posts, we’re honoured today to have the fantastic Dominique Shaw of York Place Studios with us, taking us behind the scenes of this wonderful capture. Dominique – who was one of our Collection One judges – shares brilliant insights into the importance of looking past the obvious, composition, patience, storytelling and more. Thanks so much Dom!
This Is How: ‘Cinderella’ by Dan Morris
Excited to have the fantastic Dan Morris on the site today for the twenty-sixth of our regular series of ‘This is How…’ posts. Today, Dan is taking us behind the scenes of his recent Reportage Award, including great insights on capturing elements of the day that the bride and groom may not normally see, patience and observation, supporting images, and his before/after edit. Thanks so much, Dan!
