Wedding Photography Tips for the Groomsman

Last Updated :

If you are to look back at the special moments of your life, what thread would run common? And well one way to look at things is that moments are special because of folks and friends who have been around to witness you in your moments. Weddings from the announcement to the wedding vows, every little bit are special. And when you see your brother or best buddy finally taking the vows it is something, which you as a groomsman have waited for. Here are a few tips:

Tips for the Groomsman:

1. Envoy
It feels good to know your friend, brother to the core. And it helps to navigate your way through guests making them feel comfortable. As a groomsman it is a moment of pride to play envoy. You would be the one looked out for, by family, the groom, friends, and yes the photographer too. So just take things in your stride and be the appointed envoy.

2. Smile
Enjoy all moments, and you will find that the smile will be placed automatically. When you smile and have fun you will find that others will reflect the same sentiment. It is easy to make friends and weddings are one such platform to get to know so many folks. The groom, his family would be depending on you, so smile your way through and be a part of his momentous journey.

3. Arrive Early
Active mind can do so much. If you arrive early, you will get a better feel of the entire set-up and can do more justice of guiding folks around. Help the groom with things. The early bird will have that early advantage. So arrive early, and take things in your stride.

4. Smooth the way
Nerves, we all have it. The more significant the journey, it is logical to have nerves. So play a big role in calming nerves, be confident, and the charmer you usually are, and help smooth the way for your special ones on the big day.

5. Keep things handy
Make sure you make a checklist of what could be necessary on the big day. A few things could be slipped into the pocket and that would be really handy for an emergency.

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!

PicBackMan was really easy to setup and has been running for 3 days now backing up all my locally saved photos to Flickr. My photos are really valuable to me so it's great to be able to have them easily backed up to a secure location.
