Ceremony
The wedding ceremony is obviously one of the most important parts of the day to capture (that’s why we’re all here, after all!), and it’s an element that can be covered in a multitude of different ways. Here are some wedding photography ceremony tips and techniques by our TiR photographers:
This is Storytelling: ‘Gaelle & David’ by Philippe Swiggers
It’s an honour to have the fantastic Belgium-based TiR member Philippe Swiggers with us today, taking us behind the scenes of his recent Story Award from Collection Three. Story Awards are given to the very best series of images (15 – 20) from a single wedding, representing world-class storytelling, creativity and consistency – with just the top 4% of entries being awarded in Collection Three, receiving a Story Award is no mean feat! I absolutely love what Philippe talks about in this piece: The power and vital importance of building relationships and rapport with not only the couple, but their family and friends too, in order to truly capture the very essence of the day – a brilliant, brilliant read:
This Is How: ‘From The Veil Shot To An Intimate Moment’ by Melissa Suneson
Excited to have the fantastic Mexico-based TiR member Melissa Suneson of Car & Mel Photography on the site today, taking us behind the scenes of this beautiful capture for our ‘This is How…’ series of pieces. Melissa’s advice about patience – how waiting just that little bit extra can really elevate an image (in this case from a ‘detail’ shot of the veil, to a beautiful moment) – is priceless.
This Is How: ‘Here Comes The Bride’ by Adam Riley
Delighted to feature a brand new ‘This is How…’ piece today, with the fantastic UK-based Adam Riley talking to us about he got this recent Reportage Award from Collection One. Thanks so much, Adam!
This Is How: ‘The Wedding Singers’ by Tobias Löhr
It’s an honour today to welcome the Germany-based TiR member Tobias Löhr to the site, where he takes us behind the scenes of this fantastic image. I just love the composition and storytelling within a single frame here; brilliant image!
This is Storytelling: ‘Targeted Chaos’ by Andrew Keher
Only the top 4% of submissions became Reportage Story Awards in Collection One, and we’re thrilled to have one of the winners – the brilliant Andrew Keher – take us behind the scenes of his award. Reportage Story Awards are given to the very best series of images (between 15 – 20) from a single wedding, and represent the pinnacle of storytelling and consistently excellent coverage. Andrew’s insights are invaluable here, including great tips on getting really close with a 24mm, finding his own style, embracing the ‘targeted chaos’ of weddings, overcoming the challenges of low light, and much more…thanks, Andrew!
