A wedding photographer and videographer provide a record of your wedding, and every couple wants it to be special. The following photography tips can assist you in ensuring beautiful photographs for your outdoor wedding venues in Fort Worth.

1. Schedule an in-person meeting: The way you envision your wedding may not be understood by the photographer. Ask to view examples of his/her work. Identify what you do or don’t like to assist the photographer in identifying with your vision.
2. Tell the photographer what you would like: Let the photographer know you would like him/her to shoot from a specific angle that is flattering.
3. Provide the photographer with an essentials list: Provide the photographer with a list of photographs you consider essential. For example, photos of yourself with your siblings. Bring samples of photographs you like for the in-person meeting. Request the photographer to check off each “must-have” from the list on your wedding day, and request multiple photographs to select from. Request he/she visit the outdoor wedding venues in Fort Worth prior to the wedding to be prepared to incorporate its features for your wedding photos.
4. Add special shots: Be sure to add special requests to the essentials list, for example the bride and grooms rings on the preacher’s Bible, a photo of your dress and veil, or a photo of the site before guests arrive at the outdoor wedding venues in Fort Worth etc.
5. Inform the photographer of special religious observations: All religions perform weddings slightly differently, and the photographer should be informed in advance. This is essential with any rules involved, such as if a specific portion of the wedding ceremony can’t be photographed. On the other hand, if you want the special events photographed ensure to add them to your essentials list.
6. Include the dress or veil: If your dress or veil has a feature that you especially love, request photos to be included in the wedding pictures. For example, if the veil has an especially ornate crown, a close shot from above will preserve that feature in a photograph. Keep in mind, a portion of the photography can be shot before the wedding.
7. Ensure your wedding attire is photographed: In addition to shots of your favorite feature, request your dress and veil to be photographed from every angle at the outdoor wedding venues in Fort Worth.
8. Add black and white photography: Black and white photos provide an image like no other. Consider adding a few black and white photos to your wedding album.
9. Include creative shots and angles: Request photos shot from a knee, circling the two of you during the first dance for photos with highly styled drama. A photo of your grooms face when he first sees you is a popular request. If your wedding is scheduled at sunset, take advantage of the setting sun as a backdrop in photos of your outdoor wedding venues in Fort Worth.
10. Include elderly family members: While you may not have considered elderly grandparents, aunts and uncles in a photo shoot before, the photos will be appreciated as time goes on.
11. Gently request family and guests to refrain from making their own photographs: Exuberant family and friends can interfere with the professional wedding photographer. Ask the him/her to take an occasional break to allow family members to make their own snapshots. This will prevent hurt feelings, and ensure your professional photos won’t suffer from stray flashes and persons walking in front of the camera.
12. Photograph the reception tables before the wedding: This provides a professional record of the carefully dressed tables before guests arrive.
13. Include your first dance, the father daughter dance, and mother son dance in the list of essential shots.
14. Request photography before the wedding: Taking photographs before the wedding will cut down on the essential shots the photographer will need to focus on during the wedding. Photographs of family and friends photos can be shot before the wedding, for example. Request photos of favorite areas of the outdoor wedding venues in Fort Worth prior to the ceremony, freeing the photographer to concentrate on the ceremony and the reception afterward.
15. If you request photos from a different location than the reception or outdoor wedding venues in Fort Worth, allot the time for travel and the shoot into the wedding schedule and the additional photographer’s fee.
16. Don’t forget the children: Children can provide priceless memories (that you may have missed) during a wedding, such as the giggles and expressions of the flower girls and ring bearer when you kiss.

Photographs provide memories than will last a lifetime and longer. You want them to be as perfect as the day itself. Prepare your essentials photo list for the photographer, retain a copy and include the agreement to utilize it in your contract.
