Wedding Photography Tips for Grooms-to-be

Last Updated :

Each wedding is unique and every bride and groom special.Wedding photography is a great opportunity, capturing the colorful spread, creating a story on the run and one with deep emotions is simply a delight. Capturing the gorgeous groom can really be fun. The Prince Charming of the day could do with a few simple tips to look his flawless best. Here are a few pointers, which could help as foundations for the groom:

1. Find and connect with your photographer:

It is important to do your research, check the portfolio and works of the photographer. Once you know in your heart that you have found the right photographer, share more details of the event, your story and your concerns. This would enable the photographer to connect and be in sync with you, what you are looking for and the end results would be as close to your heart as you would wish it to be.

2. Elegant grooming:

Try fabric and colors, which will suit the climate and bring out the best in you. Don’t be too shy to try out colors, which are not typically in your wardrobe. Follow the event timeline for visiting the parlour, and make sure you follow the instructions of your stylist. Share your concerns, if any with your stylist so that you get lucid options, which will put you at ease. Shave carefully on your wedding day, so that nicks can be avoided, for that perfect look. Keep a checklist, and arrange attire, shoes, wristwatch all your adornments for the day together, and relax you are nearly in place.

3. Pose and Practice

If you are camera-shy then it is nice to practice on a few poses like toasting skills etc, work on your smile. Co-ordinate and communicate with your photographer, so that you know how the individual is working and also the photographer knows your pulse, this will help you share your ideas and also when it comes to the capture you are already closer to being captured impeccably.

4. Arrive in style

Remember to eat well, hydrate. It is nice to be sober. Control your nerves. Make sure you arrive in time, where you can spend time with your friends and family, have time with the photographer for a few trial shots, and you can see how you are being captured. Spending a few moments with your bride, dropping in a compliment or that surprise you had planned for and you know that your style has already done wonders. Now it would be time to just set in effortlessly and enjoy the rituals.

5. Have fun

Leave details to the event planners, and just remember to have fun. The more ease you are at, the more you will relax and capturing you candidly would be the photographers’ delight.

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!
