dav.d wedding photography

It pays to have a long camera lens. The most important parts of the wedding ceremony are when the rings are exchanged and the first kiss. They are also the most tender and intimate moment and you don’t want a photographer 4 feet away and blocking people’s view. So I will have my longest lens ready and capture the moment like this where the bride and groom lock their gaze and share a moment.

A note to the bride and groom – you can rotate your hands a little bit so that the rings are more visible to the camera. It doesn’t feel natural but it looks great and the congregation or the audience will appreciate it.

Another thing I love is the light – for wedding ceremonies the photographer is at the hand of luck it seems. If I can photograph without flash I will. And for this photograph the sunlight was amazing. In the photography biz we call this rim light – the light creates a rim or halo on the head (and shines through the bride’s veil).
