Photographers are like magicians who are expected to capture a magical image from the most normal subject. Photographers can make a juice box look interesting and they can make a tiny flower look like the most vibrant of all the other flowers in the field. If you are a photographer who is used to studio shoots or planned outdoor shoots, you may encounter some difficulties adjusting to a fast-paced environment.



Sydney is a beautiful city that is full of life and opportunities, you would think that it is much more suitable for corporate photography events than weddings, but that is actually just a matter of perspective.



Unlike in planned shoots, you do not get a second chance to capture a picture in a wedding. You only get one shot at everything (pun intended). So you need to be able to do it right the first time.



Your skills from a different category of photography would definitely come in handy, it is just that you need to understand that not all of which is applicable on studio-based shoots or planned outdoor shoots are also applicable to event photography. If you are going to cover your first wedding, then you are going to need to prepare yourself mentally, emotionally and physically. You cannot exactly decline a couple who trusts you to capture their special day.



Here are some useful wedding photography tips for your Sydney wedding:




Make sure to set a clear set of expectations with the couple. This means that you need to sit down with them and discuss your limits. This is especially true if you are not mainly a wedding photographer and if you are friends with the couple. Let them know that you are taking on the job as a favour and that although you can take good shots, you cannot guarantee results.


You do not want to gain a bad review as a photographer just because the couple expected too much from you since your name is your brand. You also do not want to lose two of your friends just because of the event.




The setting of the shoot is important, make sure to capture the colourful sceneries that you may be able to find on location. This is also why it is important for you to have an advanced tour of the venue, Panasocnic this allows you to plan the photos that you are going to take on the special day.



If you are used to a different kind of photography, then it is a good idea to check wedding photography websites so you can have an idea how to frame a photo or how the professionals take the images.
