So much happens at a wedding that without photographic images, many of the days events would be lost; the beauty of digital wedding photography is the speed at which you can see and distribute the images, around the world if required. Digital photography may have replaced film but people still like to see photographs they can handle!
This isn't easy; creating that perfect shot if you are taking photographs without help as there is only so much you can do on your own without help. This article highlights a few basic techniques and styles for anyone who wants to capture a friend or family members wedding using a digital camera.
Many amateur photographers make the mistake of taking pictures with a boring background which is not something you want in a wedding photo. Often when there is a good background there are just too many people in the shot, so if this is the situation, just try and capture a nice head and shoulders shot of the couple.
If there is bright sunlight or you are using flash, ask guests who are wearing glasses to remove them just for the shot or as an alternative they could turn their head slightly to the side. If there's a couple or a group that you wish to include in the picture, you should use the zoom function in to get the ideal image but do not shoot against the light so that dark images appear.
Candid shots are also dramatic and these portraits often reveal more than the quality of the picture itself; in fact, many professionals use the zoom to capture intimate and memorable moments. With digital wedding photography always remember to be ready for the shot as it saves people posing.
All your efforts will be wasted if you forget to have fresh batteries or carry enough memory for your digital camera to take every image from the day. Professional digital slr cameras start at 6 mega pixels and very few compacts are now below that so your card will need to be a minimum of one gigabyte to be on the safe side.
Always remember that the higher the resolution used, the larger the size of prints that can be made so always keep a secure copy of your work so you can re-use them in the future. Storing the wedding images on a computer or CD will mean that you can print them off whenever you want but a presentation CD can be played back on a TV.
A new generation has grown up not really knowing what film photography is like, so to them digital wedding photography is quite normal.
