Contemplative Wedding Photography Tips for an Amateur

Last Updated :

Every wedding is exclusive, it needs a photographer to empty the mind and see the ceremony with the novelty it needs. It takes that high inner life state of a photographer to manifest and see the event in all its grandeur and purity. When the photographer responds to that inner call, minus any preconceived dispositions or biases of techniques, that is when the wedding in all its beauty can be captured perfectly. The wedding will become a magical set of moments and you will find a happy photographer just simply clicking those moments. Here are some simple tips for contemplative wedding photographer for an amateur:

Contemplating Wedding Photography Tips:


1. Slow down, be alert

There may be a tumultuous set of thoughts, which may be running on your mind. It is best to slow down; you have done your best with planning and preparation. So be alert, look at moments and capture them as they come.

2. Connect to moments

When you slow down, you find it easier to connect to the moments as they happen. This will also help in anticipating moments and seeing the emotions as they spring. For those perfect emotions, which you wish to capture, it is best to connect to moments. As you have that heart-to-heart connect, you will understand your client; the ceremony and you will have some awesome captures.

3. Natural is the key to perfect moments

Contemplative photography has the essence of using as natural moments as possible. Posing may create awkward captures. So try and look out for the moments as they naturally well forth.

4. Don’t get bogged down by techniques

It is nice to learn and master techniques, make it an inherent part of your system as you practice them with effort. But remember not to get bogged down by techniques. You will know how to treat your moments with techniques once it is a part of you. So follow your instincts and also remember to keep practicing and updating.

5. Synchronize heart, mind and eye

Synchronizing heart, mind and eye needs the photographer to be in a high inner life state. If you can achieve this you will find the magic in each moment and you will be happy with your captures.

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!
