FOR THE GROOM

Hey, you know it’s all about the Bride.  You want her to be happy.   But depending on your past experience with photographers, you either love or hate being photographed.   There is a good chance you hate it.   Firstly there is a good chance your opinion of photographers is low to begin with.  And if you read enough of my articles here, you will find a whole lot to laugh at and I am sure agree with.  Most wedding photographers are not really photographers!   There I said it.   And most Groom’s photos that I see, even in studio and photographer’s sample albums, are not flattering.   They can be attention getting, or have pretty backgrounds.  They could even have a romantic feeling, because of the way the Bride and Groom are interacting.   But look closely.   Do the clothes look properly adjusted?  Look at the Groom’s expression?  Is it on point, or in between something ?   Check his body language, his limbs, are they awkward?   Most likely.   Fact is that most guys freeze up in front of the camera, or get cranky, impatient, and irritable.   That is understandable.   They know they are going be fussed with, and still will look different from the image they have of themselves.    It is not easy, but a real photographer will make the photos much more fun, much faster and definitely much better.     That is why you will want to keep these tips in mind.    And keep checking back here.
