DO YOU HAVE THE FULL PICTURE?

No doubt there are many wedding moments you won't want to miss. There are typical pictures of the bride, groom and their bridal parties getting dressed.  DGM Photography by David Gerard looks at the couple and what they represent.  These pictures tell the story.  For instance, in this particular wedding, the bride and groom were professional police and firefighter.  Pictures of a dress, shoes and rings are part of the story.
The best way to ensure your photographer captures the right moments for all posterity is to discuss a suggested shot list. Your photographer will know the best method to incorporate your wishes into creating memories of your wedding day. 
Some things to consider…..
  • Bride's clothes hanging on the wardrobe, on the bedpost, or over a chair
  • Shoes, rings, background of color
  • Full-length shot of bride in gown checking herself out in mirror
  • Detail of clothing, shoes, garter, something borrowed, something blue
  • Bride and groom separately making their way to the ceremony (in a limo backseat, hailing a cab, walking down the street/hall/stairs)
The photo-journalistic style of each photographer is different, but sharing your story about who you are will allow your photographer to be creative in his poses of both people and items from your day.
Share with us what makes you different.
