Your choice of wedding venue can have an enormous impact on your wedding photos, having an effect on everything from the background for your group shots to the style of your photos. Here are 7 tips on using your wedding venue to get the very best possible wedding photos.
Try and select a wedding photographer which has worked at your locale before. They're going to have previous experience of the set up of the venue, so they'll know where the light comes from at what time, and where the best settings are for group pictures. They can also have a good idea of the sort of equipment they have to take along. See whether your wedding snapper can show you examples of pictures they have taken at your locale.
Talk with your shutter-bug about the sort of venue you've selected, and the style of photos that would best complement that locale. A charming country house might be the perfect setting for dreamy sepia shots, while a stylish city hotel would be an excellent place to try out glamorous Hollywood paparazzi style footage.
Look out for potential photo locations and note them down when you visit your wedding venue. The locale coordinator should be able to give you some ideas but do not be scared to be different. Maybe they always have the group stills in the key entrance, but you would instead prefer to have them next to a picturesque fireplace? If you believe a messed up wall with climbing ivy is more enticing than the manicured hotel grounds then speak up.
See if your venue has a weird location for your group photos. If they've got an chic staircase you may have your guests organized along the railing. Maybe there's a balcony or high window where your photographer could take a bird's eye view of all your guests gathered together. Another great option is to have the guests together on the balcony throwing confetti down onto the happy couple below.
Your wedding venue could have surprising grounds for photos but ensure you have a back up indoor plan in place in the event of rough weather. If it does rain, don't rule out out of doors stills altogether. Footage of the bride-to-be and bridegroom in gum boots and the guests with umbrellas can make classic additions to the wedding album.
If you a hiring an extremely attractive venue, or the location is integral to your marriage theme, confirm your snapper gets 1 or 2 good shots of it before the marriage when there are no guests around. They could also photograph special features like quaint windows or doors. You might also have before and after footage of your reception room being decorated, or a sequence of shots of the decorating process itself.
Always check if there are any photography restrictions at your locale. You do not need to spend an hour having your couple's pictures taken in the hallway just to find out the antiques in there can't be snapped, or it's been used as a film set and exclusivity rights still apply.
