Having worked in the wedding industry for almost 15 years means I’ve had the pleasure of working with lots of incredibly talented wedding photographers who specialise in documentary and editorial styles, where they don’t just capture the key moments – they capture all the in-between moments that help to tell your story, one frame at a time.
And while your wedding photographer won’t choreograph every single moment throughout the day (because let’s face it, Madonna’s strike a pose technique isn’t everyone’s cup of tea!) they are modern day ninjas with a lens meaning they won’t miss a beat! They know that the unplanned, unscripted moments are usually the best!
So how can I help? I’m glad you asked! Here’s 3 ways that I can help your wedding photographer capture great shots for you!
1. Clear shots of everyone walking down the aisle
Entrance timings are the secret to creating a perfect aisle moment! And when you work with me, your entrance will be perfectly planned and carefully co-ordinated to ensure you and your I Do crew are in sync with the music, so there’s no sprinting up the aisle or short gaps between everyone in your procession. Because photographers love having time to capture each person and frame the moment.
2. Candid moments with real emotions
Think surprise song reveals, heartfelt song dedications, fun pre-ceremony requests, dramatic exits and puppy processionals (yes, it’s a thing!). I encourage all my couples to bring fun, excitement and joy to their day through their music. Because your expressions, your reactions, and your emotions are the real beauty your wedding photographer wants to capture!
3. Extra time for family portraits while you’re signing the Marriage Schedule
This might be the legal part of your ceremony, but it’s never just paperwork when you work with me! It’s a chance to feature more of your fave songs while you enjoy some family portraits! Think of it like a 5-10 minute film scene with a beautiful musical backdrop! It can be exciting, bold, dramatic, heartfelt, whimsical or anything you choose and it gives your wedding photographer plenty of time to capture all the magic!
These are just a few examples of how music can help to set the scene for those stunning shots, but I always have more tricks up my sleeve, so if you’d love to add music to a special moment during your day, but you’re not sure if this is possible, just drop me a message and I’ll be delighted to help you with this!
And did you know I can provide your wedding photographer or videographer with studio recordings of your music so they can use this as a backing track for their teaser or film? Just let me know if you’d like to use any of my audio and I’ll organise this for you!
