Wedding Photography

Mywedideas.com tells you some tips to choose best wedding photographer for your wedding. Get an expert wedding photographer for photo session and best bridal shoots.

Like it’s been mentioned on this website, there are 2 categories of photography on a wedding – 1) Portrait Photography, 2) Event Photography.

What we’ve learned from experience is never to experiment with Portrait Photographers, because those few snaps are what is the most important for the couple. A little hint of bad lighting or a wrongly chosen background can ruin your memory forever. Make sure to sit and discuss them in length about the backgrounds being used, the color of the clothes the bride and the groom are wearing and to match / contrast with the backgrounds, to make sure the clothes don’t clash with the background, build out a theme with what you are wearing to the backgrounds being used, place and time of photography.  To avoid any disasters, please make sure to select the portrait photographer extremely carefully and by only seeing his or her’s previous photographs.

While the above is important, it’s also very important to choose your Event Photographer wisely, by studying the camera they are using – digital or conventional, go through their portfolio to see their previous work – including carefully looking at the picture angles / perspective and picture results (a little extra or less splash of light can ruin a photograph).

Make sure to clarify to the photographers how important the event is and more so, how important the photography at the event is for you guys. This will just caution the photographer in advance to be extra careful with the photography at the events. The vendor you will be most frequently in contact with will be the photographer, so it’s always best to know the people covering the event so if his focus isn’t on the right people, you can correct him at the wedding to make sure, your memories are captured right with the right people.

You can choose your photographers according to the events, such as, Mehendi, Shadi, Valima, Dinner – based on their best experience. Mostly Photographers in Pakistan should be happy to remain in the background as ghosts, they need to be told to be made sure to be polite yet assertive to the guests for photo instructions, because he has the camera and can judge the best and that’s why it’s important to know the skills of your cameraman well before he’s hired for the photography.

If you aren’t sure your photographer is capable of either of these, try a pre-wedding photo session, such as bridal photo session, bridal portraits, bridal shoots or family photos and can judge the skills before choosing him or her.


Bridal Beauty salons and Parlours

Looking beautiful is a trait every human has or wants to have, especially when we speak of women. Add the most memorable and the most sought for occasion in one’s life to that attribute of wanting to look beautiful? This should explain the importance of beauty salons and parlours for a woman and choosing the RIGHT one for their weddings – to make their dreams true. Every Pakistani Bride has plans and ideas for their weddings, which is an effort of their entire lifetime as a bachelorette.

Makeup and looking good for a bride is surprisingly often an overlooked area when planning Wedding (shadi) events by people in the family. Unfortunately, the bride has to do the dig work herself to find the right place to get her makeup and bridal final touchups from. In Pakistan, bride must plan and decide for their wedding dress, makeup, jewelry and hair style to synch with the hired beauty parlour or beauty salon in advance, so there is no last minute hiccup and everything goes and is available as scheduled.

The bride on the day of her wedding is beautiful without the makeup, but beauty parlours and salons enhance the glow to make them look pretty and attractive.

Wedding Photo Album

Wedding is one of the most memorable occasion in one’s life – it’s an occasion to cherish and treasure, one of the best ways to do that is by treasuring the memories of the wedding day in photographs. There are two kinds of photography wedding couples and families indulge in;

1)      Portrait Photographs – generally it’s the couple with props and background (to give it a thematic) or shoot at a live thematic location – in Pakistan, it’s not a general trend to get photography done at a live location because of the risks associated with outdoor shoots with the bride and the groom decked with jewelry.

2)      Occasion / Events Photography – this is again extremely important to have memories of the occasions / events of a wedding, example, the mehendi, wedding / rukhsati and the valima being the most prominent and common occasions. The event photography generally covers family and close friends taking portraits with the couple for a remembrance, something that the friends and family members would like to own as well.

There were days, when the photography album used to be shared with close family members and friends to see them, but gone are those days and now the photographs are generally shared online using the various mediums available, like facebook, flickr & many others.

People spend pretty lavishly on hiring professional and expert photographers for their wedding day in Pakistan. It’s so important to have a professional photographer capture the delightful moments of your wedding so you can relive them over and over. Having invested heavily in capturing those wonderful moments, it’s just comprehensible to package and present them as they deserve. This brings us to making sure, that you choose the right album to put your photographs in – you should want your album to look like the gateway to your heaven!

There are a wide variety of wedding photo albums and manufacturers available in Pakistan, and photographers may provide traditional matted albums, digitally designed “coffee table” albums, contemporary flush mount albums, hardbound books, scrapbook style albums, or a combination of any of the above. When choosing photos for your wedding photo album, you should look for a good mix of photojournalism and portraits.

Once you’ve made sure of all of the above, it is a dream for most parents to put up the wedded couple’s photographs at their homes – while that’s being done, you should be making sure that the frames you choose blend with the theme of the wall / table or wherever they will be put up.

Mywedideas.com tries it’s best to share information to add value and colors to your weddings. We try and give you an insight on different areas of a wedding, so you make sure, you don’t forget anything on the most memorable day of your life.
