CORDIALITY by THE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
Getting advantage of the spaces available in the place of the wedding venue is an option that we can not let go of. But, of course, that place is not for our only and complete use. The wedding photographer must respect all those wandering within their own lives and they, if do not belong to the event, are not willing to change their way or let be used by the thirsty lens.
When in the so-called Quintas (dedicated wedding venues), the natural place to photograph the couple session is in the surrounding exterior, in the hotels, or in other inner spaces, we must take advantage, in some places an obligation such is the quality of the spots, of the long walking passages, the reception hall or one of the other inside service rooms which can be fantastic friends of the wedding photographer and, consequently, of the photos.
I like very much those indoor spaces, but because I think, in my imaginative fantasy, that I am an American movie director who closes all entries, and stops everybody moving around, who paid to be there, that could make me lose concentration. I am just wondering, I do not do that. But, because I have my cordial side, almost everybody is kind enough to let me finish the composition and end my “take” before moving to their own destiny, and the wedding photographer says thanks.
