Weddings are remembered not just for their décor, attire, or staging but also for how they impacted attendees emotionally. The most emotional elements of a wedding are things like a groom’s nervousness as he waits to start the ceremony, the silent tears of the father of the bride as he gives his daughter away and the unmistakable, beaming smile on the bride’s mother’s face when she delivers her daughter to the altar.
Exemplary wedding photography is about capturing emotions in an image and telling stories through the images taken. Because storytelling is at the heart of our approach to wedding photography, Phylum Weddings has established a reputation for excellence in wedding photography in Ernakulam.
The following paragraphs will examine how a wedding photographer is actually able to capture these priceless (emotional) moments.
1.Watch First, Then Shoot
To take a good photograph, a photographer must first be an observer.
A good photographer doesn’t continually ask the couple to pose. They first observe the couple and the people around them, paying attention to whom the bride talks to most, which family member shows the most emotion, and when laughter occurs spontaneously.
By figuring out the relationships within the couples’ families, good photographers can anticipate when meaningful moments will take place as well as where they will be.
Emotional moments cannot be created; they can only be expected.
2. Creating Comfort with Couples
People appear natural only when they are comfortable with who they are.
That’s why some photographers will spend some time before the wedding talking to the couple; so that when the couple has an established trust relationship with their photographer, they won’t be concerned about being photographed, and will act naturally – that’s when the most stunning photographs can be taken.
Instead of continually directing the couple, we will guide them with gentle suggestions; like saying ‘walk together’, or ‘just talk to each other’. These suggestions create genuine smiles, not false poses.
This human connection to our work is one of the major reasons that couples have rated us as the best wedding photographer in Ernakulam.
3. Capturing Candid Moments
Candid photography is the heart of emotion and storytelling.
There are many special, unexpected, and emotional moments that occur throughout the wedding day.
EXAMPLES:
- “Brides having fun with their friends while getting ready.
- “The bride, with her grandmother, must quietly bless the couple.
- “The groom is looking at the bride when she is unaware.
- “Parents holding hands during the ceremony.
These moments can last only seconds, so a professional, experienced photographer continuously stays alert to capture them naturally and without distraction.
Candid images become treasured because they capture real life, not posed, staged memories.
4. Natural Light Usage
Natural light has a great effect on feeling from photos.
Natural light that is soft, like morning light or the golden hour at sunset, gives a photo a sense of warmth and intimacy. Photographers try to avoid using flashes as much as possible and generally position the couple in front of a window, outside or in a soft-lighted area.
Lighting can improve expression, skin tone and set the mood.
With these soft lighting conditions, the photo feels like a true memory rather than a photo shoot.
5. Timing
A wedding photographer is always predicting.
“For example, the bride will walk down the aisle”, “the groom will see her for the first time”, “the parents will bless the couple.”
These points of reactions (moments) occur just once.
A professional photographer needs to keep his or her camera setting prepared, cameras ready to shoot and use good focusing techniques so that he or she can always capture these types of emotional photographs instantly. For the best results in emotional wedding photography, quick reflexes and experience are more important than having expensive equipment.
6. Being Invisible
The best wedding photographers are generally invisible.
When guests forget that there is a camera at the wedding, they are more likely to act naturally by laughing out loud, smiling for real and showing their emotions openly.
Instead of controlling the wedding, we allow the wedding to happen and quietly document it. Our approach of storytelling helps us provide couples with true memories that they will be able to feel years after their wedding day.
Thoughtful Editing
Photographing events is only half of the work.
The rest is telling the story through the process of editing.
When done by a professional, photography can enhance color, warmth, and mood while remaining true to the original image. When too much editing is done, emotion is taken away; however, with balance, editing can add authenticity to the photo.
At Phylum Weddings, we utilize timeless tones to ensure that your photos look amazing, not only at the time of your wedding but for years to come, which is the expectation of couples who choose to hire the top wedding photography company in Ernakulam.
The Importance of Emotional Photography
As couples go back to their wedding years later, they seldom look at staged poses. Instead, they remember their wedding moments such as:
The bittersweet embrace before saying goodbye.
The joy and laughter during each of the wedding rituals.
The tears shed during the blessings.
Photography captures these fleeting moments for eternity, allowing the viewer to enjoy the feelings that will never come again.
Final Thoughts
Wedding photography is not about the quality of posed images or the camera used to take them. Instead, it is about being patient, observing, being empathetic, and having great timing.
A good photographer simply takes pictures of your wedding; however, an extraordinary photographer will tell your wedding story through photographs.
At Phylum Weddings, we want to provide you with a wedding album that will make you smile, laugh, and sometimes cry, so that the memories from your wedding day will always seem alive. This is why we work hard to provide the best wedding photography in Ernakulam, capturing not only how your wedding appeared but also the emotions experienced on your wedding day.
Every moment at your wedding will happen only once in your lifetime! Therefore, they should be preserved forever.
