The 2018 Relationship Age,Instagram,and more.

Firstly, thank you so much for reading this. I am used to journaling and this is my first time writing for public eyes, so enjoy!

Now to lets get straight to the point; the modern 2018 relationship. Do we believe its harder now than it was in the 1920's? Oh absolutely! I mean as a woman we’ve been exposed to propaganda our whole lives on the fairy tale where your fairy godmother blesses you with perfectly fitting, comfortable glass slippers(we all secretly prayed they would be the louboutins we all still dream about to this day) and we'd ride off into the sunset with prince charming and the end. Sorry ladies, never gonna happen! Why would we want it to be that way? We are the bad ass take no sh*t millennial's who swipe left if we think based on someones picture and 2 sentence bio we have a "connection". Sorry my tinder/grinder users, as basic as I just made it sound is truly how basic it is but this is a judgement free zone! But lets go down the list of the modern relationship of 2018.

YAS! Thank you fairy godmother!

Age

As Aaliyah said, "Age ain't nothing but a number!" If you're 23 like me that song has been in your life as long as you can remember(if you haven't heard it pause your reading and play it now). So maybe that was drilled into our minds through sultry R&B or its just simply the truth. I'm leaning more towards the simple truth. In my personal relationship my boyfriend and I are 7 years apart. As time has gone on, I have realized that everyone around me is dating with a 7-10+ year gap between them and no one's complaint is ever "He's just too old." I will say though there is always an occasion when I'm calling or getting a call that says, "...like he's my dad or something!" I always question this part of things like is this just how men try and show they wear the pants, or do these men just want us to not repeat their previous mistakes because they are older than us? I think its a sprinkle of both, and for us modern day relationship doers, my best advice on age gaps is 1.) trust your partners knowledge 2.) trust your life experiences as well to asses situations for yourself 3.) always stress the necessity for reciprocity in decision making, that way you both wear the pants. To conclude this I think that in 2018 it's better to date for what YOU like and want, rather than feel like because your close in age it won't be as successful or because there is an age gap he has all the answers. Don't be afraid to take charge trust me, you don't want to go to sleep dreaming of your man struggling to get into a pair of skinny jeans(no? just me? okay.) because your subconscious is telling you to make that decision.

Again, listen to the song if you haven't already!

Instagram

I planned to write this part last because it probably should be its own post, but I believe I can word it perfectly without over doing it so lets get into it people! Instagram is probably the most consistent social media platform I use currently, it has everything all on one app and I ask for nothing more. But I can admit it's created small issues in my relationship (truly small guys) and I mostly was the one with the issue. I grew up where dating meant you the put your anniversary date in your bio, posted every single picture you could with the sweetest caption from your favorite Drake song and you waited for all of your 900 followers to like it to show the world, you are in a relationship and a happy one. And then you date someone older than you and you realize, they don't give a f*ck about posting you let alone themselves on instagram.

"wait so you're saying you don't have instagram?"

And then we all are Jaden Smith, thoroughly confused as to how another human can exist with this mindset. And now this guy is your boyfriend and your 4 months in passing all the holidays without getting posted and you're like whatever its just Instagram I am a mature young woman, I am confident in myself. But as I recently discussed with one of my best friends is that what we really need to be saying to ourselves? Deep down everyone wants validation which is why Instagram is so important, just 10 likes and you know you're on to something, but what does it mean in the modern 2018 relationship, when you're not getting your recognition? Well here's how I can answer that by telling you my word for word head on experience:

Me: So why don't you post me on your Instagram? Are you just not that guy, or is it because we are still new?

Him: No, 1.) its MY Instagram so I post whatever moves me and 2.) I don't want to post you because it's no ones business

Me: Oh okay.

Me in my head: SO YOU'RE TELLING ME THAT I AM A SECRET?! IS IT BECAUSE ALL THE GIRLS IN YOUR DMS WILL THEN STOP SENDING DMS? AM I UGL...Wait no, that's never the case. *continues to rant*

So as you could imagine it took me about 3 days to wrap my millennial mind around this concept, and I came to the conclusion of "What more can I really ask for?" I am with him almost everyday, we talk all day, and when we don't we usually know each others plan for the day. Did Instagram really have to define what we're doing? No. And so ladies and gentleman (because don't get it twisted ladies men are usually way more offended you aren't showing them off than you'd think) here's my advice for this part of the modern 2018 relationship 1.) Post whatever the f*ck you want, whenever you want but don't do it for validation Instagram was meant to entertain the user 2.)Older men may or may not like to post you but if their friends and family know who you are then no Instagram post can give you anymore validation than that. 3.)Don't sit on your words,if something makes you uncomfortable say something because 9 times out of 10 what we think isn't what it is. All in all we young millennial gals take way better photos anyway, so its probably best we do the posting.

And finally the more..

So guys we are nearing the end of this post, and again thank you SOOOOOOO much for reading this far. But lets finish this strong; 2018. The year where you can barely tell pop culture and political news apart, is also the year of so much LOVE. And sometimes it's going to be love our parents can't understand, and that doesn't mean their advice isn't valid or your friends advice isn't valid. I just believe this is also a time to figure love out for ourselves. Figure out what we really do and don't like, who we do and don't like. What are the things that motivate us individually to want to spend time with someone? These are things that take time and self care to learn but it also takes WORK. Yes, relationships are work and not always the fairy tales we think they should be and that is okay. To conclude this I will give you my most modern 2018 fairy tale moment in my own relationship.

We actually laugh in bed like this over stand up jokes we try on one another before bed.

So if you know me you know Beyonce' is EVERYTHING I proudly stan for her and she put on the most epic amazing performance at Coachella this you (curse you but also bless you if you saw it live) and I was super bummed because I was working the day it was streaming completely missed the whole thing, so the next day I am sulking around watching everyone fan girl out and watching sad Instagram videos of the bits and pieces of this epic performance, my boyfriend who knows everything about anything on the internet is like, "Why are you watching it on Instagram I can just download it for you" I am still not trusting his computer smarts, "Like HD version not like someones phone like actual video?!" he's like, "Yeah." a few click clack patty whacks later he's like, " Here's the file when it's done it'll ding but if you want I am going to the roof when I come back I'll watch it with you." Now ladies this isn't the best story but understand not only did he get me Beyonce' but he wanted to watch it with me so now I am just reeling! Long story short, we watched Beyonce' cuddled up and thoroughly enjoyed it and that was my fairy tale. I want all of you reading this, skimming it, pretending to read to walk away with just this one thing; in 2018 no one but YOU can define what your relationship is and that is okay as long as it speaks to your character and serves YOU equally in happiness, and joy then do it, talk about what you do and don't like and remember that every fairy tale ends differently, and no fairy tale is the same.

Or maybe we do get to ride away into the sunset.

My Boyfriend pretended to hate this picture up until he saw my photog skills and proceeded to pose until we came out with this

HOW TO CHOOSE A WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

You probably already read a million articles on the Internet on the topic " How to choose a wedding photographer . " Most of them are written quite superficially and about the same thing. I happened to shoot a huge number of various weddings, so on this topic I can talk confidently, deeply and objectively.

So, let's begin. The Internet is replete with offers of a huge number of photographers. Which one of them is a professional and who is an amateur is rather difficult to determine. Crusts of photo schools , attending master classes, passing courses - all this, in my opinion, is absolutely not an indicator of professionalism. The courses and photo schools read the instructions for the camera, and the master classes are conducted now by all and sundry. So how do you find "your", the best photographer and not make a mistake in the search? For most newlyweds, the choice of a wedding photographer is limited to one meeting. On it, the photographer will show you his portfolio, a couple of fully captured weddings, a slide show, perhaps printed photos or a photo book. Will tell what he shoots and where he can take.

To a person who does not understand this information, at first glance, is sufficient. And if the photographer is also talkative, then with a 100% probability today you will make an advance payment to him. Actually everything, the choice is made. But know - you see only the tip of the iceberg. Let me tell you about those things that you will not read in any article, much less hear from the photographer, if you do not begin to dig deeply.

So, following my simple rules, you can correctly choose a good wedding photographer for yourself .

STEP # 1 WHAT EQUIPMENT DOES THE PHOTOGRAPHER WORK ON?

Pros should work only on cameras with an FX matrix (FX mark on the camera). There are not so many of them on the market. Such cameras have high ISO workers (sensitivity of the matrix), that is, the photographer can shoot in the dark without a flash with a minimum of noise and color distortion. This is necessary, for example, when shooting in a dark room, dotted with candles or flashlights. If you use a flash - the effect of the depth of the picture is lost, there will be a feeling of daylight. Without a flash, it will look very cute and romantic. Among other things, all these cameras make a large number of frames per second , which is absolutely necessary in a wedding report.

A PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER SHOULD HAVE A SET OF LENSES COVERING ALL FOCAL LENGTHS.

Since I work on the Nikon system, over time I have identified for myself two “pets” - a spectacular wide-angle Nikkor 14-24 mm F 2.8 and artistic portrait Nikkor 85 mm F 1.4 . All other focal lengths are not very important to me. I will explain why. The breadth has a viewing angle of 114 degrees, therefore, standing one step away from the groom, I shoot him full-length, plus I have a lot of places where all his friends will go. In principle, this lens could remove the entire wedding, but there is one unpleasant moment. It is called distortion. This is when the lens distorts the frame geometry. Surely you have seen that people who are at the edge of the frame resemble aliens: shirik “pulls” them. But with a certain skill, this effect can be used so that the frame looks very interesting!

IN ALL OTHER CASES, I PREFER A FOCAL LENGTH OF 85 MM

Because it is precisely this that gives a very deep, artistic, “beautiful” picture. Geometrical distortions are completely absent, the glass perfectly conveys colors, very light. This is due to the very low aperture number (1.4), which, in turn, allows you to work even in very dark environments. Among other things, in combination with a rather long focal length of 85 mm, this gives a strong blurring of the background: the photo is sharp, voluminous and does not distract you from the subject and you do not need to get too close to the model for portraiture.

TIP:

It is not necessary to ask to open the bag and demonstrate the equipment. This is at least not cultural. But if your photographer works for Nikon, then D600, D700, D800, D3 and D4 are pass tickets for your wedding. If the photographer works for Canon, then - 5D and 1D.

STEP NUMBER 2. COLORS AND PHOTO PROCESSING

TAKE IN YOUR HANDS ANY PRINTED PICTURE OF THE PHOTOGRAPHER - WHAT DO YOU SEE ON IT?

What moments should be on the photos? First of all, pay attention to the colors . In the photo color should be the same as in life. If you see a light purple dress, which is actually ivory color, or lurid multi-colored spots in those places where they should not be, then you should know that the photographer is abusing the processing . Here, of course, a matter of taste.

I will explain why. A photographer who is abusing photoshop effects may be trying to hide shooting defects or trying to somehow embellish a picture taken with a cheap lens . Often a common effect is the so-called “scorching” of the background: a cheap lens gives a “boring” unsharp flat picture, and trying to embellish it somehow, the photographer resorts to Photoshop brushes.

Or one more “trend” of the season - colorful spots on trees, allegedly drawing the sun where it didn’t exist, overly noticeable coloring of foliage and flowers . “And what about - if it’s raining outside?” - you ask. “And he will be in the photos,” I will answer. Tell me dear newlyweds, is it really bad that it rains on your wedding day? Look carefully - and you will find on our website a huge number of such cozy, customized, rainy or snow wedding photos. After all, the main thing at the wedding is your mood. After all, the main thing - the truth in the photographs. Will it be interesting for you in 20 years to show children pictures of pictures with the sun drawn? The pros always know how to beat the rain and how to show the beauty of such a seemingly gray bad weather day. In the end, no one has canceled umbrellas, interior shooting or shooting through droplets on the glass of your car.

A PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER WILL ALWAYS TURN ON HIS HEAD, DREAM UP SO THAT YOU WILL BE PROUD AND SPEAK LATER

“Everybody had a sun at the wedding, but we had rain and it was beautiful!”

And further. An important point. If the photographer is a big fan of artificial processing, then keep in mind: he will only make a part of the pictures with such photo shots, and the rest will merge “as is”. After all, you understand that it is impossible to handle all the frames from a photo report that way. I want to draw your attention to another point: retouch. Frankly, I don’t like this word. In my practice, retouching is some long-forgotten scourge that arose at weddings with a cheap stylist or with his complete absence. When the stylist receives his fee - your face should look so perfect that the photographer never had any thought of using retouching when processing your wedding photos .

And the last point about which I have to tell you - what product in the final result you will get in your hands. Each photographer has his own, so-called “packages” with his own content: someone has photos on a disk, someone has a photo book, someone has a slide show, someone has printed photos in a baguette or on a foam card.

I'LL TELL YOU ABOUT THE APPROXIMATE NUMBER OF PHOTOS FROM THE PHOTO REPORT.

How many photos should a photographer give you? I consider the optimal number of 500-800 photos from a full-day wedding. All of them, of course, must be processed and made available to the client in JPEG / TIFF format on Internet version DVDs. All other photos taken at the wedding, no professional photographer does not provide. First, the camera shoots in RAW / NEFF, “read” and convert that you can only with the help of a special program. Secondly, the remaining frames have no artistic value, since they are duplicates, defects, setting frames. Thirdly, having acquired the source code with such “garbage”, the client can easily put them into the network, thereby spoiling the name of the photographer. Well and most importantly, the transfer of source code is equal to the transfer of copyright to the use of photos.Therefore, I answer the emerging questions: Yes, you can get the source code, yes, you will become a full copyright holder, and yes, you should pay for it. Each photographer sets the cost independently. On average, this is from $ 1,000 per source from one wedding.

TIP:

Assess how well the photographs in the photographer's portfolio are processed: do you feel an obvious search or do they look quite natural. Specify what material you will receive as a result of the celebration, list it in the clauses in the contract. Ask the photographer where you will go in case of rain, evaluate his ideas and suggestions. Remember: the initiative should go from it, but you show interest - perhaps it is you who can offer the best place for your photo session.

STEP NUMBER 3. THE COST OF THE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

I did not deliberately put this item in the first place, because the first and main mistake was to choose a photographer according to the price tag. Unfortunately, the wedding ends once, along with it, food is eaten at a banquet, wine is drunk, a wedding dress is sent to the far shelf, donated money is spent.

THE ONLY THING THAT WILL REMAIN IN YOUR BOTTOM LINE AFTER THE WEDDING IS THE PHOTO AND VIDEO REPORT.

I will tell you a secret, a good photographer is able to “raise the price” in the pictures of your wedding , a bad one - to “cheapen” even the most gorgeous celebration. I think you no longer need to explain in detail, since I already explained the technical side to you in the previous paragraph.

THEREFORE, WHEN YOU PLAN YOUR WEDDING BUDGET, CONSIDER PHOTOS AS A LONG-LASTING PLEASURE.

And when guests come to you, no matter tomorrow or after 50 years, you can show your photos from the wedding with pride or without emotion, or even transfer the conversation to a different direction, embarrassed by your “miracle pictures from the wedding”.

So first. Prices of the photographer should be open: on the website, on the page on the social network, as a last resort, you should receive the exact cost of shooting without any further surcharges. Yes, posting prices on the site - it is bold. But it is honest and respectful. First of all, in relation to the client, because the modern person does not have time for numerous calls and meetings to clarify pricing.

The second. A good quality product is expensive, a bad one is cheap. There is a market, there is a mass market, there is high fashion. For every niche there is a demand, and in the photo. You have to choose, but you should not be under the illusion that the dress from the market will sit on you as well as from a fashionable boutique. The approximate balance of prices on the wedding market of Yekaterinburg is as follows:

about 10 000 rubles - an initial level, beginners, simple equipment, a good option for those who need to “just take pictures at a wedding” and who do not claim a beautiful picture.

15 000 - 25 000 rubles - an average niche. There is a chance that here you will find quite good guys who need to feed their families and they are afraid to take risks and raise prices. But there is a chance that you will get yesterday's newcomer, who took a chance and raised prices.

25 000 - 35 000 rubles - the best running value: neither more nor less. Most likely, this is where you will meet most of the photographers of Yekaterinburg who have been doing this for at least a few years. Chance to get a frank failure is quite low. The scope for choice is huge.

40 000 and above - popular, popular, proven photographers. Most of them have been in the ranks for a long time, they have a good portfolio that clearly shows the level of their work. Almost everyone works in tandem with assistants, second photographers. Someone connects students, so the actual number of participants in the film crew at a wedding can be much more than 2. Many of them have already been invited to shoot weddings abroad. Someone already has his office, studio, working on his own car. Perhaps you will be prompted photographers from 1-3 categories.

SO: WHAT IS THE COST OF A WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER? HOW TO CALCULATE IT?

Let's see what's what. Firstly, photography itself on a wedding day is only a small part of the work of the photographer . Remember the saying "Time is money." Do not forget that his work begins at the first meeting with you. Next, he chooses places for filming, helps in planning a wedding day, on the eve of the wedding he participates in the rehearsal of the wedding, then for 1 to 6 months he is engaged in the processing of photographs. You know, a photographer is not a guy who runs around the camera in different beautiful places, taking pictures. This is the guy who spends his days at the computer. And it goes out only to meet with clients, to shoot and to shop for groceries or a new camera :) Also, do not forget that the photographer does not only take picturesHe likes to eat, rest and live not in a cardboard box on the street and, for example, he needs to pay for a trip to the dentist and other household needs, as well as everyone. Also, he needs to spend money on advertising and maintenance of the park of equipment in the working state, and this, believe me, is quite expensive.

HENCE THE CONCLUSION: A PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER DIFFERS FROM AN AMATEUR BY THE FACT THAT HE DOES NOT WORK IN PARALLEL SOMEWHERE ELSE.

He lives on the money from the sold photos. If he lives well, then he can be trusted. If he comes to a meeting in his car - this is even better. If you invite to your office, this is absolutely good! Therefore, you should understand that a good photographer cannot be cheap. The cost of a good Yekaterinburg photographer starts from 30,000 rubles and reaches 30,000 dollars for a world-class pro. Who to choose is up to you.

ADVICE FROM WEDDING AGENCY THE WEDDING STARS:

Do not start a conversation with a photographer with the question "why do you shoot weddings?". As a rule, even the pros have the opportunity to reduce the price of his work. First look at the photos, and if they hook you, then go on to talk about money, find out what you are paying for, clarify all possible work options. And if you can’t pay the photographer for “a full day, a banquet,” then maybe he has a much more acceptable shooting option, which for the price will be like a “familiar photographer”, but you will get a “like from the cover” picture.

STEP NUMBER 4 WOMAN OR MAN - A PHOTOGRAPHER?

Each of us has its own unique appearance. The ability to see your beauty and reveal it in the frame is, indeed, a gift and my opinion that the girl is best understood by another girl, so let the photographer be your girlfriend at your wedding. My opinion is purely subjective, but I can justify it. I witnessed a huge number of shots and ready-made shots, where, with all the ideal composition, standing frame, protruding bra straps from under the dress, a crumpled veil, wrong dress, and so on were striking. Such things that most men by their nature will not pay attention to. But let's not deprive male photographers - they are more creative, they choose more complex camera angles, their brains are focused on original ideas!

ADVICE FROM WEDDING AGENCY THE WEDDING STARS:

If you are already faced with a choice of M or F, then my advice is a girl with an assistant a man. Or vice versa.

STEP NUMBER 5. THE PRESENCE OF ASSISTANTS, THE SECOND PHOTOGRAPHER.

Usually, all professionals work in tandem with an assistant and / or a second photographer. Let me explain why you need a second person with a camera. In the wedding day there are many important unique reportage moments, those moments that can not be reshooted in case something happened. For example, the exchange of rings at the registration or the first meeting of the bride and groom, the first emotions. That is all that is not staged shooting. Force majeure, unfortunately, can happen. Sometimes, they depend on both the photographer and completely strangers. In my practice, there were a million cases where my second photographer, working in the background, practically saved part of the shooting. And I do not hide it!

For example, once at a wedding a guest flooded my lens with champagne, he immediately began to sweat, they were not able to shoot, and I had a forced delay to change the lens. At this time, my second photographer coped with the task perfectly, and we did not fail a single important point. Or another completely common case: in the registry office, the incoming wedding photographer can only stand in a specific place. Movement is not possible or as limited as possible. Therefore, often the registrar, taking out the ring and passing it to the groom with the bride, closes them with their backs from the lens of the photographer. But we have a second photographer, standing at another point and quietly shooting the whole action.

The second photographer is needed not only to work in force majeure situations. With a two-camera shooting, photographers catch not only the emotions of the newlyweds, but also the emotions of their parents and guests. This is especially true at the ceremony of exit registration or at a banquet , when one photographer concentrated on the newlyweds, and the second manages to catch father's tears and mom's smiles. At the time of the photo session, the second photographer turns into an assistant , who transfers the shooting equipment, props, works with light, in general, significantly saves time and increases the quality of work of the main photographer by an order of magnitude.

ADVICE FROM THE WEDDING STARS:

We strongly recommend that you take a two-chamber shooting for your wedding. This is the only way to make a truly high-quality, interesting and versatile photo report.

STEP NUMBER 6. RECOMMENDATIONS, SITE, "POPULARITY" OF THE PHOTOGRAPHER

A good photographer does not necessarily have a cool site and vice versa. But, as a rule, you can safely skip the guys who are in the top ten on the issue of Yandex, or evaluate it very carefully. Do not run to the first, who gave you Yandex. Sometimes it is very bad work.

The popularity of the photographer, the promotion of his brand does not affect the quality of his work. Most likely, the popularity hinders him a little. A popular photographer does not need to replenish his portfolio, he doesn’t have to run after every client. And that is why he gets clients, because he once ran and fussed, creative and fought for every frame. Many works of popular photographers are similar to each other. On the one hand, it can be called a corporate style, on the other hand, it is a sign of hack-work. Although most of his clients will like all the stamps and templates :)

ADVICE FROM THE WEDDING AGENCY THE WEDDING STARS:

Buying a popular, expensive, promoted photographer - you get one hundred percent result, but, perhaps, creativity will suffer in some way. If you buy a younger and, accordingly, cheaper photographer, there is a chance to get a more naughty result, you may get a spark in your report, but with a corresponding increase in risk. If your young photographer has passed points 1-5, then perhaps this is your option.

STEP NUMBER 7. CLASSIC OR CREATIVE

Classic or creative wedding photography - what to choose? Here you can only rely on your feelings. I personally am a supporter of the classics in a good sense of the word . The classics are eternal, it is unlikely that your children will be interested to look at how all your guests lined up in a heart, and the fashion for instagram effects will soon pass.

The creativity of a wedding photographer consists in the ability to see a frame from an unusual angle, through an object, or simply to invent something interesting in the course of shooting. The classics - in eternal values - in a beautiful, “correct” portrait, in compositionally correct frame, in a mood transferring reportage image. There is no bad or good. There is only your preference.

ADVICE FROM WEDDING AGENCY THE WEDDING STARS:

Choose to your liking. Having seen 2-3 weddings or just a portfolio, you will immediately understand - a creative artist in front of you or a classic. I can only say one thing - you can count the really tough creatives, and in Yekaterinburg I will not mention one. For a good example, see Emin Kuliev’s portfolio.

STEP NUMBER 8. WORK WITH A COUPLE, COMFORT WHEN COMMUNICATING

Another important point - your feelings from the work of the photographer on the wedding day . Contact is very important: some photographers will be with you all day on “You”, this greatly hinders you, you cannot relax, too formal atmosphere kills all living feelings and emotions in you.

And therefore all shots turn out to be boring, uninteresting, as if “squeezed out” of you. Everyone is waiting for a bunch of super frames from a wedding photographer. But whether this will work or not depends on both the photographer and the couple. You should have the initiative of behavior between you (emotions, movements, kissed, ran, hugged, and so on), and from the photographer - the initiative, where to do it. Everyone should do their own thing. Work together with the photographer , help each other. And one more thing: do not advise the photographer where to get up. This control makes you worse only on your own. I had a client who controlled my every shot and insistently demanded to shoot differently.

AS A RESULT, THE ENTIRE WEDDING PHOTO REPORT WAS FROM THE CATEGORY OF "I AM AGAINST ...".

I will not explain that this was the worst photo report in my life . I was ashamed of him, because my work as a photographer at this wedding was completely excluded. I then just “fotkala bride” all day!

Advice for newlyweds on your wedding day: please enjoy your new state, live in the moment!

COUNCIL OF THE WEDDING STARS WEDDING AGENCY:

Already at the meeting you will feel how comfortable you are with the photographer, how easy you are to communicate, do not complex with him. Do not amuse yourself with illusions - on the wedding day it will be exactly the same. If you are smiling all the time at the meeting, it means that the photographer is passing on this point.

STEP NUMBER 9. STAGING AND REPORTING

Wedding day is a rather serious test for a photographer . Since every minute of this day is valuable, the photographer does not have the right to miss any important moment. And in this situation, regardless of where he is - at the gathering, registration or at the banquet, he needs to show the real reporter's speed of work. But at the same time, he needs to make beautiful shots that the guys can then print and hang on the wall.

As a rule, very little time is allocated for these frames, and then everyone gets out of their way: on the one hand, we should take pictures so that there is something to choose from and that the report contains not only reportage punishment, but on the other, it’s time to run, how late for registration. You do not want to fuss, and professionalism is manifested here. A professional, having first appeared in any unfamiliar place, immediately determines a specific point for shooting, without turning on the camera yet, knows what settings are needed for this scene, in parallel with this, he communicates with the guys, explaining where to get up, what to do, relaxes, soothes, communicates with them.The assistant at this time drags the necessary equipment out of the car, adjusts the light, and by the time the pair gets to the shooting point, everything is ready for work with the professional. Therefore, for the minimum time he laid out at 100%. Often my clients, looking at their wedding photo report , ask: where did we shoot it? And when did you have time?

THE WEDDING STARS TIP:

It is correct to make an assessment of this item only by working with the photographer. Try to evaluate the photographer at work before the wedding - arrange with him about the pre-wedding photography.

STEP NUMBER 10. GUESTS AT THE WEDDING

Another important point that I want to draw your attention to is the attention of the photographer not only to your couple, but also to the guests. It is important not to confuse here: the photographer should not entertain your guests or come up with some program for them , which is traditionally expected of him at some weddings. The attention of the photographer to the guests lies elsewhere. He must make interesting shots of your guests!

They can be creative or classical, the main thing is - the most natural, real, as if the guests had just sat, talked, called out to them and they looked into the lens. I really like these footage: live, simple and natural, but I tell you, it’s not easy to make such a frame. The guests, as a rule, get numb, squeeze a smile out of themselves, look tensely into the frame, wait for them to be photographed and when, finally, they can go about their business. As a result, the artistic value of this frame is zero.

TIP:

If possible, rate such joint photos with the guests in the photographer's portfolio , it is desirable that they be.

If you have no time or just too lazy to search for a photographer for a wedding - you can choose ours, and if you want, get rid of him on all items!

Let’s create a beautiful wedding of your dreams together
