Characters on a wedding day
Taking advantage of all the things that surround the characters on a wedding day is an essential tool for wedding photographers. When we leave, only with our cameras and lens, to an event cover that happens in several spaces and each one is a different chapter of the story so that in the end we have the romance ready to print, we need to use every element we find at our disposal.
I wrote here about my obsession with mirrors, but we may find other elements that can be used as a support, reflection, or a succession of plans to dynamize how the photos present themselves to the eyes. Those elements prevent and avoid a series of boring photos without dynamic energy.
Imaginative photos
That is why as soon as I arrive, at any of these spaces, my first action is to verify all those things in place, helping me to leave with me more creative and imaginative photos that do not repeat themselves and, at the same time, be interesting to the eyes. Being a wedding photographer is more than just photographing. We just need to be a sort of a tailor who knows how to dress, instead of people, photos.
