Photographing the people at weddings can be very difficult but! Photographing accessories can be much easier. I say easier because these objects don't talk back. Here are a few detailed shots from a few of the past weddings I shot.
Having textures, whether it is in the background or on the item can really help make the photo more interesting.
Get nice and tight! Don't be afraid to bust out the macro lens! If you don't have a macro lens one tip I learned when I started photographing weddings is stacking close up filters! There are filters on Amazon that you can throw onto your lens with just some easy screwing on and by stacking them you can get closer and closer to your subject without having a limit on your distance.
Turn off that flash! Put the bride by an open window and just shoot natural light. Natural light can bring a lot of emotion to the photo and really help the photograph grab the viewers attention.
One word. Layers! Use walls and doors do your advantage. The photo I took above looked boring when I shot it directly in front of it. I took a step back found an angle and took this photograph instead. It was taken in their kitchen! It really makes the audience feel like they are actually there at the wedding looking at the dress. Taking that sneak peak from around the corner.
I hope you guys enjoy some of my tips when photographing the details and accessories. I'll definitely come up with more and post it in the future!
