THE SAME SEX WEDDING PICTORIAL

Pictorial consumed much of the time during the wedding of Romeo and Joyce. Taking photos from the whole wedding entourage to the distant friends of both sides, can you imagine that?


The newly wed- Romeo and Joyce with their groomsgay and gay of honor.


with Shyne,the event organizer and moi as the event photographer

It's the same old traditional pictorial yet, I wanna share the wedding pictorial with some basic fundamental rules I've learned to get better in photography from the book Digital Family Album Basics which I applied on this special occasion.

We all know that even professional photographers take hundreds of images without hesitation because they know that the more pictures they have to choose from, the better chance they'll get just the right one. Although you can learn ways to better compose a picture and to ensure that the lighting and other elements are properly set, you can't control the expression on your model or the chance that a person will walk in front of you or anything will be into the scene just when you push the shutter. 

Like what happened on the photo above. the blouse of the bridesgay (extreme right) flipped up.  Good thing I took another random shot (below).


You can lie down on the ground and look up at your subject; climb a tree and look down on your subject.  Charm!


It's easy to get used to shooting with the camera horizontal because that's how it's most comfortable to hold.  But try to experiment with different camera positions- you may even find turning your camera to an unusual angle.  It helps capture the energy of the moment.  


When photographing people, don't just take shots of them standing around looking at the camera,


look for an action,

search out things they can interact with


and don't be afraid to ask them to do something
and the photo shoot will be a lot more fun!


It was an occasion full of joy and satisfaction.  We had fun doing as if it was a real wedding.  Ha-ha. It was just a fulfillment after all.


The dinner is ready for the AVATAR family.
