Be Yourself
Yes, you are not the actor or actress. So, do not pretend happy or sad in front of camera. If you are happy, show your teeth. You just need to have the natural smile or laugh. Do not think how I looked from the camera. The professional candid wedding photographer will change different angles or different way to make your look more beautiful and nature. No FAKE smile.
If you feel sad or want to cry, just do it. This is the reason why candid wedding photography will capture the most priceless moments and emotions on your wedding day.
Find a Reliable Make-up Artist
The first step for bride on the wedding day is make-up. Therefore, Make-up artist is extremely important for your wedding day. Make sure your make-up artistic will come to your place on time and finish make up on time. And I will suggest you have a trail before you wedding day. You will have enough time to conversate with your make-up artist, let her/he knows your skin condition and your wedding theme. He/she can know your requirements and do the preparation before your wedding day.
So, you can have a wonderful make-up and make you look more confident in front of the camera. Show your beauty and confidence will be an easy-task.
A Bottle of Beer or a Glass of Champagne
Do not worry. Anyone see the lenses will be stressful. And at the getting ready, you probably think “Am I running late?” “I did not finish preparing my speech.” “I do not like the color of my lipstick”
Do be anxious. You need a drink but not drunk. Alcohol is a magical thing; you will feel more relax and talkative after drink a bottle of bear or a glass of champagne.
And cheers shot is also a natural shot. Groomsmen or Bridesmaids will say the funny stories and make you feel more relaxed. Then, it is the best time to capture the most natural and relaxed moments to the candid wedding photos.
The Comfortable Wedding shoes
I do not think many wedding photographers will let you know this point. But I believe the wedding shoes are very crucial for the wedding day. The bride always chooses the good-looking high heels for the wedding day. However, some brides do not want to walk or even stand during wedding location, because they do not choose the comfortable shoes.
Take Your Time
I always suggest couple do not stress the time at wedding day. If you always rush for the next step, I do not think you could have candid wedding photographs on the wedding day. But it does not mean you are not need to organize the time. For example, the distance from your getting ready place to ceremony location, if normally needs 15-min driving time, you probably need to leave half-hour to travel time. The reason is not only you do not want to late on the ceremony, but also you can have some time to retouch your make-up.
Too stressful time frame will make you feel anxious. Having some extra time will make you feel much more relax.
The timeframe is very important for a wedding day. Therefore, I always suggest couple come to studio to work out timeline with wedding photographer or videographer.
