TIPS TO MAKE YOUR WEDDING UNFORGETTABLE
I have already talked a while ago about the importance of Photography at a Wedding. The most important is actually because it is the only memory that remains, and also of the times in the organization of the marriage itself. Due to an article published by a colleague from Brazil , I take the time to meditate on this and extend a little more the advice about the Organization and the success of a Wedding.
I will not place much emphasis on the choice of the Photographer, since I believe there is a Photographer for each Client and a Client for each Photographer, but it is important that they dedicate an important time to the search and election of one of the people who will be with You all the day of the Wedding in the best of cases and that later you will see it reflected in the photos that will remain of memory. The Photographer must reflect what they felt that day, from their own point of view and style and that the Celebration can be felt from the images. 1. MAKE A PRIOR SESSION OF PHOTOS The Family and Friends know the couple who will give the Yes. They have received them in meetings, meetings, celebrations and many social situations. But, have they seen them alone? Have you seen how you are when you are together? This is a fantastic opportunity to show how spontaneous they can be and share them privately or show them on Wedding Night. It is also the best way to go about establishing a relationship with the Photographer that will serve to better record the Wedding Night. And if they encourage more: why not do a Trash the Dress? 2. PREPARATIONS OR GETTING READY THE DAY ARRIVED. We know that the Bride's Preparations are very important, because in itself it is a whole Ceremony. But it's also a day of nerves and trouble.
The best advice: look for a quiet, relaxed place where they can treat you like a Queen. A Hotel is the best option: illuminated, overlooking part of the city and with enough space and order to keep calm and to be able to receive the relatives and some friends who always offer help. For the photographic registration these spaces offer many advantages, both ambient and lighting and can work more quietly and be covering the preparations of the Bride in details such as the dress, shoes, looks and makeup and the situations that are presented in that moment. The boyfriend? It is also a perfect option, but on a different floor! 3 . THE GUESTS AND THE MUSIC PFFF! What a theme! The guests from my point of view is one of the key factors for the success of a Fiesta. But in the hand of Music. So how does this work out? Simple: invite those who really want to be with you tonight. The guests should share our joy mix and should have the same desire to have fun as the couple. They will be the ones who will beat the night. I always say that "make number" is not the guarantee, and like all the quality premium over quantity. And music?! A detail for more important, both for the couple guests and even for the Photographer! Music sets the pace for a night, and a good DJ will know how to manage this energy. Ask, consult and arrange meetings with potential DJs. Make a list of songs that Yes or Yes they want that night to sound, but also trust in the DJ and give freedom to handle the track. Watching the guests sing, express themselves and jump to the beat of the priceless music, and also give the record incredible moments. 4. RELAX AND LEAVE THE EMOTION A day that does not repeat itself. It is easy to ask the Bridegrooms to be relaxed, but many things come to mind: that everything goes well, loved ones who will be, and important people who are no longer ... all this makes the Emotion is in full bloom and Many times the tears can not be contained: let them out! They are beautiful moments to register and they help to release tensions in many cases! Many religious ceremonies come with beautiful words and very many people on the part of the Officiant, and in others it is the Guests who dedicate words or a small speech: pay attention to what they say and let yourself be carried by them. 5 . CHOOSE PLACE AND DECORATION Another key when making a Wedding. The choice of the room or space is conditioned by several factors, from the number of guests to the origin of these. It is accessible? Can you take taxis on the way back? Is it spacious and comfortable? In addition to all this, they should pay attention to details like the ceiling, lighting and lighting details, and of course painting the walls. They are details that are often overlooked, but on Wedding night everything is part of a set and it is not pleasant to see cables hanging, lamps without lights and sloping ceilings.
Try not to choose dark rooms, with black or other colored walls. Believe it or not, these kinds of details can affect even the mood of the guests. With regard to decoration can choose the extremes: simple and majestic and that is as personal as the choice of Wedding Dress. A simple but very tasteful decoration, centered on the small details can turn a space into something magical, and on the other end a decoration full of flowers, finely decorated tables and covered walls can make the guests sit in a unique space . Look for Decorators who have experiences and can show real jobs with real solutions. 6. THE GREAT SECRET: THE LIGHT If they chose to marry by day, Light is an important factor. If you chose a room, take advantage of this resource and let natural light into the space of the Wedding. There is no point in organizing a wedding in the middle of the day or in the afternoon if the wedding hall or spaces are closed and do not allow enough light to enter. Magic is lost. Many couples talk about certain limitations for getting married by day, but they are not. Many weddings are beginning in the early afternoon and end at dawn and are enjoyed twice as much! They also give the opportunity for a wider photographic record and with many nuances. 7. NIGHT IS ALSO IMPORTANT Just as many prefer the day, others the Night. And this should not be a limitation when it comes to organizing your wedding or decorating it, let alone getting a complete photographic record with night light conditions. Many celebrate the Civil Ceremony in open spaces, in Salons that have Gardens, but something happens: who is in charge of Enlightenment thinks that only the Judge should be enlightened to be able to read the Acts. Error. The couple is important, they must be perfectly lit up with both their backs to the public and the front of the Judge, and the guests must also have the right lighting. Find and choose rooms and decorators that can provide solutions in these situations. Your wedding will look much better, and it is not more expensive! Sometimes creative resources completely change a space and turn a common place into something magical. A well-lit living room changes everything, makes the details much more enjoyable and the photographic record does not suffer certain limitations. Talk to the person responsible for this, ask and verify that the dance floor has the necessary light, and that the spaces are perfectly lit. 8. I LUMINATION AND SMOKE The illuminator wants to display all its lights. In addition he wants to show that he has a lot of circus and decides to light the smoke machine exactly every 4 minutes. Excuse me, are you reaching out to see if there's anyone ahead of you on the track who will not crash? Exactly. You can not see anything, it is not useful, it is annoying and in 90% of cases ruin both Photography and Video. Nothing can be captured.
Unfortunately many Lighting or Sound services do not have "Heavy" Smoke and only have the smoke that floods the whole place. The Heavy Smoke is the one that only remains a few centimeters from the floor and is beautiful for moments of the Waltz, and at the party too! Be sure to explain these reasons to anyone who is responsible for this: a little bit is OK, too much or too often is annoying and you do not need the Smoke to make the lights appear. And the lights in the waltz always white. Why transform Shrek to the pair with green or blue lights? Is it a circus? LED lights at certain points on the track can provide good lighting and even help photography. Like everything, excesses do not work. 9. ENJOY, ENJOY, ENJOY
It should be the word that I use most with couples in meetings and I try to record in their minds the day of the Wedding: that day does not repeat itself, it should be Enjoy. So, what do they do sitting there? To the track! To dance! Without stopping and until the body asks for enough, even so must follow! Your guests want to see them happy and enjoying, if you dance, laugh, have fun, shout and shout will infect your friends and family and they will do the same. Back to the beginning! The success of a party is the Guests, but you are responsible for having fun! 10. IMPORTANT PEOPLE, MEMORABLE PHOTOS Many couples consult about making or not "Mesa" photos. It's used? Not used? Personally I do not think it's about what's trendy or what looks classic. I consider that there are very important people on Wedding Night and it is beautiful to have the memories of these with us. Grandparents, siblings and close family are the main ones. If you do not want to make "Mesa Photos" you can opt for a photo space to make beautiful portraits. It is the best gift you can give to those guests that are so important to you, and by the way out of the "classic". And they will always have them with you. My advice is: make those photos you want to have. The Photographer must adapt to you while maintaining your personal style. Maybe it can be repetitive but in all these little tips of my vision as a photographer I think I put some experience and I believe that all this is the key to make your wedding night a success and a memory of which all your guests speak and you remember it for always. Maybe you should add in a personal capacity that in the election of the Salon or Service of the same consider those that ensure a good deal with external Suppliers: Photographers, Video graphers, DJs, etc. These people also make the party and should be treated with respect and provide the most comfort possible. After all we advise you too! Many salon services do not even provide a glass of water to those who are working for many hours, or talk about something to eat and this can cause those who work for you can not do so with the same desire. Ask, consult, ask for opinions of the salons and experiences of other couples. Many of them would be happy to give them. And of course, ENJOY, once again!
