Wedding photographs that stand out...
It has been stated time and again that a picture is worth a thousand words. For a lot of couples when the large day comes along there are lingering- and usually occasions anxious- questions of where and what kinds of images should really be taken to genuinely capture the essence of this magical day. To aid ease this anxiety here are a few tips that I have utilized to help make the massive day even extra memorable.
The Park
It may well sound like an overused venue, but the park is a classic that captures some of the most romantic photographic moments. Photos in the park surrounded by nature and greenery will slow down the atmosphere in your photo collage and add romance to the hustle and bustle of wedding ceremonies. Some popular spots include: Chicago Botanic Gardens, Rosemont Park, and Lincoln Park.
The Large City
If you're seeking for more hustle and bustle on your big day there is no superior location than downtown Chicago! If the park is just a small too quiet for you, I recommend going into the city for a shoot. Well known destinations which all Chicagoans know of include Buckingham Fountain, Millennium Park and Navy Pier. There are also nonetheless some lesser identified photo spots such as: the Picasso Monument, the Adler Planetarium beachfront, and State Street.
On Location Engagement Shots
Engagement photos are generally overlooked, but these shots are an intricate part of any wedding package. Engagement shots give couples the chance to relax and be themselves in photographs just before the major day. 1 favorite idea that I have for couples is to shoot at a place exactly where they either initial met or an additional unique place they share. These photos add a amazing individual touch.
The Preparations
As any couple will tell you, a wedding does not just put itself together! The preparations for this day begin months and even years in advance. An idea that couples have definitely loved over the years is to take photographs of the Bride's dress on a hanger, close-ups of all of the bridal accessories, and flowers. Pictures of these factors will put an emphasis on all the preparation that goes into the large day.
Digital Photo Collage
1 of the newest and most innovative ideas out there is a digital photo collage. A large number of couples I have worked with have given me a lot of pictures of them, their friends and family and I then scan them and post them in a slideshow on a flat screen and the banquet hall. By combining the engagement photographs, baby photos, and other photos the couple and guests have the opportunity to reminisce about the past and look forward to the future!
