What will be your wedding?

What will be your wedding?


Exit registration is the most beautiful and emotionally filled moment of the wedding.

This is the moment when the lovers, looking into each other’s eyes, say to the joint future “Yes!”

A huge plus of the solemn exit registration is that the newlyweds can independently choose a place, time and design. This is what makes it possible to plan and create the "wedding of your dreams."

The place for the ceremony can be a palace, a seashore, a forest lawn and even the yard of your house. One or two days before the event, it is necessary to rehearse the exit registration. There are several good reasons for this.

1. First of all, it is held so that each participant in the ceremony - newlyweds, bridesmaids, groom's friends and parents - can feel confident and calm on their wedding day.

2. Mandatory participants in the rehearsal - photographers and videographers. They are invited to become a single team, to choose the best places for shooting and to give their professional recommendations on how best to arrange all participants and decorations for registration. Moreover, it is very important to see in advance how everything will look in the photo and video: whether the equipment and wires get into the frame, how advantageous the background behind the newlyweds looks. If there are two photographers, they decide what each person will shoot at certain moments: the emotions of the groom or the tears of joy of relatives.

3. If your registration takes place in the open air, you need to remember that clear weather can add a good mood, but it will spoil the final picture of the holiday very much. It is necessary to understand how to properly position everyone so that the sun becomes an ally and all participants are evenly lit. In this regard, rehearsal should be carried out at the same time as the visiting ceremony, and if necessary, move the decor.

4. During the rehearsal, the technical aspects of the exit registration are determined. The distance of the “central passage”, along which the father and the bride will go, is calculated, taking into account the splendor of the dress. The distance from the altar or reception desk to the guests is very important: it should not be too small so as not to interfere with the work of photographers and videographers, and at the same time too large, otherwise emotional contact with the audience will be lost.

A rehearsal takes about an hour, it justifies itself when all the invitees know the roles assigned to them, exit registration is perfect, in the same breath, and all participants receive luxurious emotions.



Photo and video

What and how to remove

1. Passage of the groom

2. Passage of friends and girlfriends

3. The bride worries outside the door

4. The appearance and passage of the bride

5. Guest response

6. Emotions of the groom (large)

7. General, medium and large registration plans (newlyweds, registrar, friends and girlfriends)

8. Congratulations to guests upon completion of registration

9. Production photo session at the place of registration (only newlyweds; common family portraits; shooting with friends and girlfriends dressed in the same style)

10. Video interview - emotions and congratulations.



1. The bride and groom - are in the center, facing the audience.

2. Friends of the groom - stand next to him with one shoulder to the groom, the other to the audience.

3. Bridesmaids - stand next to her, with one shoulder to the bride, the other to the audience.

4. Registrar / host of the ceremony - is next to girlfriends or friends. It stands in such a way that it sees all the spectators and the groom with the bride.

5. The distance between the arch and the audience is approximately 4 meters (depending on the hall, plus or minus meter).

6. The width of the central aisle is sufficient so that the bride and dad can walk quietly without touching the decor (1.5-2 meters).

7. Side aisles are necessary for the movement of photo and video operators, as well as late guests (at least 0.5 meters)

8. The first rows are intended for parents and closest friends and relatives.

9. Table of the registrar. The desired height is 1 meter. It is arranged so that the newlyweds signed their documents without turning their backs on the audience.

10. Sound and lighting equipment, cords, DJ table are located so as not to fall into the frame.

Choosing a wedding photographer or how to plan a wedding photo masterpiece

Choosing a wedding photographer or how to plan a wedding photo masterpiece


SELECTING A PHOTO

1. The Internet today offers a huge selection. Save 10-20 photo works that you like, not paying attention to names, costs, employment. It can be the work of photographers even from other cities like chennai, coimbatore. Analyze what is common in the selected work. What style do you like most about photos? Natural reporting, impeccable production, author's photoshop or something else. Thanks to this selection, it will be easier for you to explain what you want.

2. Having chosen the style, proceed to the search for a photographer. Look at the portfolio of the best works and, if you like, ask to send 1-2 weddings in full. This is very important to do, because portfolio does not always reflect the final result.

3. Be sure to meet in person! It is very important that you spend your wedding day with a photographer who you like as a person.

4. Set up a test shot. It can be just a walk or a love story. Thanks to this, you will get to know each other even more, understand what it means to be photographed for 2-3 hours in a row, see the result and be able to adjust the views that are most beneficial for you (which is very important for girls :)

5. Prices are different. I do not recommend initially selecting a photographer based on the "Price" criterion. Firstly, the price that you called by phone in one case will include 5 hours of shooting, and in the other the whole day with an assistant and a photo book. Secondly, it is important to understand that you can change the car or apartment for the best, but you will not change the wedding album :))

6. The number of photographers depends on many factors. From the number of guests, from the wedding day program, etc. It is important to understand that during exit registration there are many points that occur simultaneously. For example, dad takes the bride out, and at this time you need to remove the reaction of the groom and guests. The second important point: during the photo shoot of the newlyweds, provide a photographer for the guests. If you still decide to invite 2 or more photographers to your wedding, it is better if it will be one team and everyone will understand their task.

7. Photographers are different :) The profession of a wedding photographer is unique, because one person must perfectly shoot objects, staged shots with the newlyweds, group portraits, be able to anticipate and catch reporting moments. The ideal result is obtained by inviting two photographers, one of whom is an excellent director, and the other is a reportage. Then you can see your wedding from different angles. Also pay attention to the style of processing, the manner of communicating with people and other personal and professional qualities.

Once I invited two photographers to the project, the task was to shoot studio portraits and reportage. One immediately took the camera and went to look for vivid reportage shots, the other built a light and made portraits. The first constantly resorted with burning eyes, and talked about what open, funny, cool people! The second, having finished shooting portraits, joined the journey for reporting. After 30 minutes, he returned sad, with the words mi that no one was making contact, all the people were closed and it was not possible to make a couple of shots :)

Each photographer has his own, special talent!


PREPARATION OF PHOTO MASTERPIECES


There is nothing better than a carefully prepared improvisation!

1. When compiling the timing of the wedding day, we carefully select locations for filming. Here it is necessary to take into account the convenience and speed of movement, the number of people who are at this time at this site, the possibility of parking, how the sun falls at this time of day, the permission to shoot at this place and many other factors. Ideally, if the selection of places for shooting will be selected and approved jointly: organizer + photographer + newlyweds. Only in this case, you can take into account and think through all the nuances.

2. Where to find and how to choose places for filming on a wedding day:

- carefully study the place where the solemn registration is planned. Very often at this place you can find many interesting locations

- We try to find places that are similar in style and lighting throughout the wedding day. Otherwise, if you do not pay attention to it, then the groom’s fees will be charged in high-tech style, the bride in a wooden frame, registration in the palace, and the banquet in contrasting art deco colors. During the day, perhaps this will not be so noticeable, but it will be extremely difficult to make a single photo book or video

- Often places for filming can be found by carefully studying the stories of the newlyweds and their families. For example, it can be a conservatory, the university where the bride studied, or a karaoke bar where they met. The advantage of these sites is that in the daytime in summer, as a rule, these establishments are closed and it is possible to agree on shooting in an absolutely empty room.

3. If you have planned an on-site registration, it is very important to rehearse this event in a selected place and, preferably, at a selected time. The rehearsal requires the presence of all photographers, videographers, organizers, decorators. The task of such a rehearsal is to approve a perfectly lit venue for all the main participants in the ceremony, agree on which camera will shoot from which point, measure the necessary distance between guests and the newlyweds, arrange a receptionist table and many other nuances. It is such a rehearsal that allows us to anticipate events at the time of the solemn registration.

4. What is important to take off on your wedding day? Highlight special moments, details, events of the wedding day. It’s ideal to create a checklist for the photographer, which will describe the time, place and what needs to be removed. This document will allow the photographer to shoot all the most important things, and you will be sure that all the moments will be kept on film :) Do not forget to take the time for a family photo session, describe the guests most important to you, attach photos so that the photographer knows how they look. At a modern wedding, many details are thought out. Describe every detail, attach the simplest photos taken by phone. This will help the photographer quickly navigate, not ask unnecessary questions, and also not to confuse the boutonniere with the bonbonniere :)

5. Accessories that help. In ordinary life, we rarely encounter a professional photo session. It is very difficult to look natural in moments of posing. It will be much easier if you come up with an activity. For example, a romantic breakfast in the garden, kite flying, soap bubbles, ice cream. Turn on the music and dance if you like to do it. It is important that you feel comfortable, do not come up with activities that are absolutely unacceptable to you.

6. Think about the guests. Recently, there has been a tendency to give newlyweds photo sessions of two hours or more. It is important to think about how the newlyweds will feel and pay special attention to the guests. Organize a photo session for them, a light buffet, an interesting lesson, take off a congratulation video, draw a big picture with all the guests. There are a lot of opportunities, the main thing is to think about it.

7. Important little things. Depending on your plan, weather and your resources, it is necessary to provide:


  • - interchangeable, comfortable shoes for the bride and girls in high heels

  • - umbrellas from the sun and rain

  • - drinking water, snacks

  • - sunblock, insect repellents

  • - wet and matting wipes

  • - music for a good mood

  • - threads, needles, antistatic, scissors, stain remover pencil :)



Thanks to this approach and thorough preparation, albums and videos from our weddings have repeatedly become world winners.
And most importantly, the chances of a bad wedding are zero, and the newlyweds really enjoy the holiday on their wedding day!
