photography tips by Billie Smith
If the result is not what you expect, why would you want to stick with him/her? it’s never to late to cancel and find the photographer that will give you the result you’re looking for!. Your wedding is not a birthday party, it won’t be repeated next year. why settle for bad photos? so go ahead and ask for an engagement session, make sure he/she understand that you might cancel the contract if the result is not satisfactory.
There we have it!:)? I will update these tips and add more as I go out there and cover more weddings, but all in all.. if I can sum it up as the final reminder: “Your wedding is YOUR day (the two of you, not one, not in-laws, not moms-dads), plan it right together, be on time, embrace each other, savor the moments (not hurrying it), and remember that by the end of the day, when the cake and the guests are gone, only the two of you remains, it’s a new beginning! which hopefully start with a great honeymoon. If you have done all these, now it’s back to the photographer to do his magic and present you with a Truly Beautiful and Stunning images that Last Forever.
I’ve written these two articles to give you some basic and intermediate tips to correctly color balance your photos during a wedding. As I stated in the other article, a wedding has many light sources and these light sources compete to be the main light in your photos. The problem is, if these light sources have very different color temperatures, your images will have an incorrect white balance. Imagine taking a picture where the room is lit by fluorescent overhead lighting, but in the corner of the room there is a set of candles in front of a white wall. These two very different light sources will give you an incorrect white balance. To keep this from happening, you will need to be aware of light sources during a wedding. I discussed this in the first article, as well as how to use your flash without a colored gel in daylight, or where the main light source is daylight. In this article I will give you tips on how to properly gel your flash in different lighting circumstances.
Indoors you will normally be faced with one of three main light sources. These are: daylight, florescent, and tungsten. When you enter a room you will need to be able to identify the main source of light, then match it. I talked about daylight in the previous article. If your light source is florescent, they you will need to put a florescent gel on your flash and set the white balance on your camera to florescent lighting. Nowadays there are many different types of florescent lighting with different color temperatures. This means you will need to carry a few different florescent gels with you. Likewise, you will need a few different CTO gels to match different types of tungsten lighting. These tungsten gels are: full CTO, 1/2 CTO, and 1/4 CTO. As before, put a CTO gel on your flash and set the white balance on your camera to tungsten. With either a florescent gel or CTO gel, try different ones out and see what matches best the main light in the room.
