Autumn Wedding Photography Tips for Beginners

Last Updated :

The season of harvest, autumn, a season you will fall in love with. The stunning colours, shades of red, orange and yellow, which are breathtaking, the picturesque beautiful skies, good weather and colours spread from skies to the Mother earth. Truly speaking one of the most anticipated seasons. It’s a season that helps you let go off negativity and promises a beautiful journey ahead. A fall wedding has its own perks, one of the biggest benefits being that you are in the heart of a picturesque terrain. As a photographer, you have loads to work towards and focus on for the big day.

And here are some basic tips, which will take you smoothly photo shooting through the day:

1. Capture tantalizing colours

Autumn colours are distinctive, with beautiful shades of red, yellow, orange, purple and brown. Explore the foliage at the wedding venue and conceptualise the best way to include the pleasing backdrop while photo shooting the couple and the wedding guests.

2. Autumn lighting

Natural lighting works perfectly while capturing your subjects. As the early noon fades you will find the light is more softer and a good time to capture your subjects outdoors. While you are indoors explore and look out for light sources, which will give you those perfect lighting conditions for your photo shoot.

3. Capture autumn elements

The seasonal elements will be found in every corner at the wedding venue. The centrepieces will reflect the best of the season with candles flickering, wood elements, usages of lots of berries, wild apples, chestnuts, hazelnuts and brambles. Keep an open eye and enjoy clicking.

4. Golden hour

Make the best use of the golden hour, which brings that magical soft warm light occurring at daybreak or dusk. The wedding couple photographed at the golden hour will give you some good romantic captures.

5. Basics to remember

A few basics, which could help, you could try using a polarizer, enhancing filters to enhance the saturation, especially when you are trying to click your subjects outdoors. Using a small aperture and scattering leaves to bring out magic in the backdrop could be considered.

PicBackMan does exactly what it's supposed to. It's quick and efficient. It runs unobtrusively in the background and has done an excellent job of uploading more than 300GB of photos to 2 different services. After having lost a lot of personal memories to a hard drive crash, it's nice to know that my photos are safe in 2 different places.

LOVE this program! Works better than ANY other program out there that I have found to upload thousands of pictures WITH SUB-FOLDERS to SmugMug! Thank you so much for what you do! :) #happycustomer

I pointed PicBackMan at a directory structure, and next time I looked - all the photos had uploaded! Pretty cool. I use SmugMug and while I really like it, the process of creating directories in is pretty laborious when you need to make 80+ at a time. This was a breeze. Thank you!
