Top tips for brides-to-be to guarantee perfect wedding photos

Providing the perfect time capsule for your day, wedding photography is one of the most important things to consider when you’re prepping for your wedding. Doing your research and choosing the right photographer is a sure-fire way to guarantee you’ll love your photographs. But it is completely normal to feel anxious looking perfect in your wedding photos.

Here are some tips to help you avoid any photography pitfalls, and to give you that extra reassurance that your photographs will turn out beautifully…

Do your research to choose an extraordinary theme for your wedding photos

Reading as many Asian wedding blogs and magazines as possible before your big day is a sure-fire way to feel prepared for your ceremony. Almost all weddings have a theme, with outfits, decorations and centrepieces to match. Some couples opt to elevate this theme with stylised wedding shoots. You may want to recreate the luxury of old-world glamour or modernise a traditional ceremony with contemporary flourishes.

Your wedding photography can advise you on how to best achieve that style. Our bespoke packages are designed to meet any needs you have, including evoking unique and stunning themes.

Choose the best location for getting ready for documentary photography

You might choose to get ready at your venue, a nearby hotel, or even at home. It’s entirely up to you, and many brides choose a room for its interior style. But the look and location of the room are not always the most important thing – it’s all about practicality.

The moments when you’re getting ready for your wedding always make for incredibly special wedding photos. Choosing a room big enough for your bridal party, with good natural light, is key. Keeping that room tidy and clutter-free is also a must for stunning professional photos.

The focus of wedding photography is always the couple

This may sound obvious, but the photographer’s focus is the bride and groom. Weddings can be hectic for everyone in attendance, and you don’t want disorganised guests disrupting your essential shots. Your bridal party should be ready before you, so that the photographer can create beautiful shots of them adding the finishing touches to your saree or lehengha. Encourage your guests by letting them know when and where they’re need for photographs – this will avoid any chaos that group photos can sometimes cause.

Lighting makes all the difference

Lighting may just be the most important factor in ensuring gorgeous wedding photos. The bright candescence of natural light, with no harsh yellow overtones, is ideal for capturing you at your best in close-ups. When getting ready, encourage your hair or makeup artist to work in front of a window. This will both help them create amazing, detailed looks, and will allow your photographer to shoot their work in all its glory.

Uplighting adds a touch of drama to interiors shot in the evening, such as banquet halls and dancefloors. For romantic exterior shots, mason lanterns or string lights are popular.

Our expert Asian wedding photographers will ensure that you have nothing to worry about on your big day. They want you to feel as relaxed as possible, so that you can enjoy the occasion. But nagging nerves are a completely natural part of getting married. Following this advice should give you that extra confidence in your wedding shoot and result in the wedding album of your dreams.

What to look for in your future Asian Wedding Photographer

Photography is one of the most important parts of a wedding. After the special day is over, the thing you will always be able to look back on is your wedding photography. This is why it’s so important to choose the Asian wedding photographer that can capture your day perfectly. Here are some of the aspects to look for when choosing a photographer.

Online Portfolio

Consider their online presence – do they have plenty of examples from their portfolio to view online? Being able to see images from previous weddings not only gives you a guidance to the photographer’s skill and experience, but also the styles of photography that they offer.

Asian Wedding Photography Experience

One of the most important things you will want to consider when searching for your Asian wedding photographer is their experience. If you’re after a professional level of stunning wedding photography, you want evidence that your photographer is up to the job.

Seeing the final pictures is one of the best methods to consider whether the photographer reaches the standards you are after, but you may also want to look further into the photographer’s length of time in the industry, qualifications and awards. Of course, qualifications and numbers of years in the business does not mean these photographers are necessarily better – which is why being able to see plenty of examples of wedding photos is so important – but these extra additions such as awards can show you how recommended a particular Asian wedding photographer is.

Client Testimonials

This ties in closely to experience and photo examples – look for reviews and testimonials from previous clients. Aside from having a professional photographer at your wedding to produce beautiful, high-quality photos, you also want a photographer that you can get along with and doesn’t add any extra pressure or stress to the wedding day. By reading testimonials you can get a real sense of the attitude and approach of the Asian wedding photographer you’re considering.

Budget

It’s very important to consider your budget when choosing your Asian wedding photographer. You want to firstly find a photographer that can accommodate your budget, as well as ensuring you’re clear on your maximum spends to avoid any disappointment in the future; Be sure to find out exactly what you will receive from your given budget.

Photography Style & Approach

Everyone will have an idea of what their dream wedding photography will look like. Whether you’ve decided what style you’re looking for or you are still researching your options, make sure to consider which Asian wedding photographer offers the approach you are after.

As previously mentioned, the ability to view an Asian wedding photographer’s portfolio online means not only can you appreciate and consider the photographer’s level of experience and skill, but also see what styles and approaches they offer. This is useful for both ensuring they offer what you are after, or if you are undecided on a style these portfolios can give you plenty of inspiration.

Timescales

Once your special day is over, you’ll be eagerly looking forward to receiving your wedding images. It’s important to confirm with your Asian wedding photographer how long it will take to receive the images so you can try save your excitement for the right time. With professional wedding photography you must remember the editing process that happens after your wedding, as your photographer will want your images to be perfect and high-quality.

Terrie And Rahul Indian Wedding Photographer In London

When Terrie and Rahul approached me to be their civil wedding photographer, I, of course, was more than happy to offer my support. Another lovely couple, another chance to further my skills as an Indian wedding photographer in London and witness the beautiful moment of a couple’s commitment to a life of love with one another.

This friendly and wonderful couple’s civil ceremony took place at the extraordinary Syon House in London. A historical property that has truly seen many different events across its history in the city; including weddings, proposals and even film work for hit series and movies. How could one not be excited to support this lovely couple in a location to match their beauty?

Alongside the excellent setting, family and friends gave a warm welcome to the couple’s event dressed in their finest and most stunning attire. Once again, the event was filled with all manner of emotion and gave me the opportunity to take photos that could show Terrie and Rahul just how amazing they and their family were on that special day.

My journey has only just begun with this couple’s photography requirements. After a most beautiful civil wedding, I can’t wait to be a part of their Indian wedding at the Hilton hotel Ages Bowl cricket ground in Southampton.
