Wedding Photography Ideas for Romantic Wedding Photos
Traditional color photos are a great way to show off the excitement of your wedding- after all, it's one of the biggest days if of your life-but there are a few photo alternatives. Black and white photography has been making a comeback over the last few years because it easily captures the timeless romantic elegance of the day, and sepia toned photos are also admired by most couples.
A lot of people think that photos which are beginning to fade and turn brown are sepia-toned. This is a pretty common misconception, but sepia actually refers to the brown color of a specially prepared photographic print. Thanks to digital photography and computers, sepia photographs are easier than ever to achieve. Sepia toning can give your wedding photos a warmer, almost antique appearance-what a great nostalgic way to remember your wedding.
Be sure to discuss all of your wedding photography ideas with your photographer before the actual wedding day.
If you'd like him to capture certain images, let him know!
Be sure to have him take plenty of photographs of you and your fiancé before, during, and after the ceremony.
A sepia toned photo of the bride and groom kissing after they're officially married will look great displayed in an antique-style frame.
A sepia toned photograph of the bride, groom, and their extended family is a wonderful way to capture a little piece of family history. Some people only see their distant relatives at big events like weddings,
so be sure to have the photographer take a lot of family photos.
They don't have to be stiff and formal-casual photos are more popular these days anyway-and you can provide a copy to everyone in the photo after you're back from your honeymoon.
Your relatives will be thrilled that you had such wonderful wedding photography ideas.
Close-up photos are another great idea. An image that you'll want to see up close is the bride and groom's hands. Wondering why? You'll definitely want a picture of your shiny new wedding bands that was taken on the day you became "Mr. and Mrs.", and a sepia photo tone only adds to the timelessness of the moment!
One final bit of advice: don't forget to express your wants and needs with your photographer.
Many wedding photographers can provide their clients with sepia,
black and white and color images of each photograph that they took when they show you your wedding photo proofs.
The proofs are usually provided on a CD or DVD so you can view them on your computer,
and you'll be able to select which prints you'd like to purchase.
