10 Tips to Photographing Your Friend's Wedding

A. Mau and Confidence:
I think the main capital to reach the ideal is not always material capital / money, but more important is

will confident a strong plus, want to be anything I think my friend can do it.
2. Knowing lighting:
Lots of articles about the lighting on the blog, so just surfing SOB!, But if my friend had read an article about this but does not also control the lighting and proper exposure, I recommend shooting using Aperture Priority mode. This mode can be used if the buddy buddy can not take the chance of exposure that is not appropriate when making important moments. "
3. Stay on Appointments and Conduct With earnest:
If my friend would do this job, especially if this is the first time in a wedding photo shoot, man must set yourself up for success by giving hope to the client / prospective bride. Is my friend remember the proverb, "You get what you pay (you get what you pay for)?", This proverb is very suitable for the client so that my friend what they want according to their costs. Give them a promise, but ... my friend should give a clear expectation that my friend knew without a doubt be able to achieve what was promised my friend. for example if my friend really believe that my friend will be able to deliver 100 images per hour photo shoot, promised to the clients only have 50 images. That way when my friend only get 75 pictures of each hour they would be happy shooting!
4. Do not live alone:
Bring an assistant. Two cameras will be better than one. Especially if the room is very spacious and not many guests who knew my friend. VERY important to have a back up to ensure that my friend had two chances on each shoot.
5. Follow Demand Client / Wedding
Does the client / bride asked my friend to make sure that my friend get a picture of all the key players (family wedding). It's very important SOB, so my friend can document all the key players, would be better if my friend knew a family wedding (although this is not mandatory) that they feel closer to my friend. If my friend does not know or are in doubt with one of the guests, this is when the client is acting buddy to take pictures of them (especially when the ceremonies) so that later when the selection of pictures of these people are not left behind.
6. Snap, snap and snap!:
Memotretlah as much as possible ... If my friend does not really sure, frequently check the LCD and then after that snap more. In this digital era of storage space is so cheap on the memory card, my friend really did not have a single reason not to snap, snap and snap!.
7. Knowing Plot:
A wedding has a different story, but the wedding procession is usually about the same, for my friend's wedding style client must know that in the future buddy buddy can take pictures that must be entered into the picture so as if the image will have a storyline.
There are several images that are determined to have entered the ring for example, kissing, tears, cake cutting, bouquet toss dll.Selain, make sure to get a good shot at these places, some good detail of all the things where they spend the money to decorate the place such as decoration, arrangement of light, etc.. Also do not forget to dress, suits, shoes, items that are considered important, family pictures, pictures the bride and groom and then any and everything else you could possibly expect and think about your own buddy.
8. Knowing the place and circumstances:
Check the location of the procession before the first day of H. Make sure that buddy already KNOW EXACTLY where it is. It can help Buddy determines the good spots when later in time should be photographed on the day of Buddy H. Try to visit the site several times before the big day, check the lighting situation. Ask about the location of the seat and make sure my friend will be able to shoot from the right angle without obstructing the view of guests.
9. Know What Things Considered Trivial:
Perform communication with people who will host the wedding ceremony, especially the host (chaplain / pastor). There may be special rules in a particular place of worship on the grounds of religion / ethics where my friend can not take photos at certain parts of the ceremony. Remember! Buddy is the responsibility of the photographer to ensure that such problems can be handled, so as not to disrupt the wedding ceremony on H.
10. Be a Professional Photographer:
Make a form contract. This might seem too formal, especially to friends is not it?. However, It is a wise step to memeprlihatkan that my friend is a professional is also to strengthen the connection agreement so that no mistake fahaman if one day there is a claim from the client's friend.
Friend, 10 to the above is my first lived when I first did a photo shoot my friend's wedding, and WORKS!
But of course this also depends on the buddy who live it, because everyone is different of course, my advice is do not let your nerves Buddy Buddy hinder creativity to work! Be a professional photographer.
