Wedding Photojournalism
One of the most important parts of the wedding ceremony is the wedding pictures taken by a competent photographer. Wedding photojournalism is that the whole story of the wedding is going to be told in pictures, instead of a journalist writing a description, of " the bride wore white, the gown was Balenciaga she came down the aisle with her father leading her to the side of her eager groom.
The bride's mother burst into noisy tears while the vows were being exchanged." instead of this description, which might cause someone to file a suit against the newspaper, photojournalists would be much better off if they took a snap of the weeping mother, red nose and all.
Anyway, here are some tips about wedding photojournalism, which can be utilised by anybody who wants to take the snaps.
The lighting is not quite good inside the church, so increase your ISO. An f-stop 2.8 can also compensate for less lighting. To make sure that the photographs do not have hard lights make sure that the flash is bounced off the walls or the ceiling. You can also use a cover upon the flash to defuse the light.
If you are taking wedding photographs outside where it is sunny, using a flash is going to dispel all the harsh light of the sun. Take many pictures of the bride.
Take the pictures against a number of backgrounds. Full body shots are more effective if the camera is kept at the waist and not aimed at the head.
