Tips for Wedding Photography Melbourne That May Help You When I was working full-time as a wedding photographer, I was shooting around 30 to 40 weddings a year. I usually spend my weekends shooting during the week I would doing editing, responding to emails, writing blog posts, and watching cat videos and so on. Overall, these tips are coming from a reference who has experience in the world of professional wedding photography in Melbourne.
So, guys here are some useful tips to remember while doing wedding photography Melbourne. Tip #1: Donʼt rush into itI have noticed a lot of bad suggestions and tips presenting on YouTube by photographers suggesting that if you had not done a shoot of a wedding before then, you should just do it. Why not now? And you will get to learn how to do proper photography, shoot people, couples and events all in one day.
I think this is not at good advice. Firstly, you are only experimenting with one of the most important days in order to gain some experience in photography. If you screw up, you could potentially spoil the memories from their day and they would not have captured to remember it. Secondly, in photography, your name is everything. It is your personal brand and identity. So if you make a mess of another wedding, probably you are dragging your own name through the this and there is no way to come out of this mess. Instead, I would suggest you contact any of your photographer that admire you about wedding scenes. They will be happy to hire you and They would get a backup and you can gain experience. It will work like a win-win approach. Tip #2: Keep Backups Wedding photography and videography, in general, can get very expensive nowadays. And the capturing moments are precious for you and for someone who hires you. So always keep a backup of everything from lenses and camera to SD cards, batteries, and speed lights. Anything can happen at any time and this is genuine that you do not want to get a bad name in their wedding.
One way to overcome this situation is to rent gear that you cannot afford. There are some benefits to have it on rent and that is the reason why I suggest this to the new photographers. So try out the gear you always wanted to without investing much and a lot of the time. You will realize that investing $2,000 in a new lens would not make your work effective and suddenly you will realize that you saved thousands of dollars.
Tip #3: Location Scouting Often on a wedding day, these things almost happen with the wedding photographers that eventually some situation arises that are difficult to manage and you have to take a decision on the spot. In the wedding, Couples, friends, relatives, and a group of peoples decide to move here and there And, you had no time to look for the best location and spot to capture them. You will get stuck in that situation, and you have to manage the things and ultimately, you will require to capture the moments as per your expectations. To, overcome from this, arrive early and go through the wedding venue and look for the best location and visualize everything in your mind where you will shoot the attractions, stage, the rings, the couple, the group photos, friends and so on. You could even pay for the venue to visit a few days before wedding scenes. But no worries, you will find a way to capture all the good moments of the wedding and this will make a remembrance in the heart of wedding peoples.
