Wedding Photo Tips from John Hope

John Hope, the founder and lead photographer at By Appointment, believes capturing a wedding day’s beauty requires more than technical skills. He shares his top tips for wedding photography to help couples prepare for their big day:

Trust Your Photographer

Trust is essential for all wedding suppliers, especially when selecting a photographer. Choose a reputable company and have confidence in their ability to capture your special day. Leading up to the wedding, your photographer will maintain open communication and gladly accommodate your requests. However, when the big day arrives, focus on enjoying every moment and trust in your photographer’s expertise and experience.

Light, Light, Light!

Lighting is often the defining factor for photographers when evaluating potential photo locations, whereas non-photographers might focus more on the setting or backdrop. Large windows and spacious, airy rooms are ideal for daytime indoor shoots. Natural light consistently enhances photo quality, surpassing the effects of artificial lighting.

Planning

When planning your schedule with your planner, consider the important photos you want to capture. If you desire beautiful bridal portraits before the ceremony, ensure you’re dressed and ready early. For ‘reveal’ photos with your dad and/or bridesmaids, carefully plan for these moments to allow ample time. The last thing you want is to feel rushed and stressed as the ceremony approaches.

Golden Hour

Golden Hour is the perfect time for capturing beautiful, romantic, and artistic couple photos. Keep this in mind when planning your schedule if breathtaking couple shots are a priority. The window of opportunity is quite brief – typically the last hour before sunset.

The collaboration between You&I Bridal and By Appointment ensures that every bride looks her best and has her special day captured with artistic perfection. By entrusting these renowned professionals with your wedding attire and photography, you are guaranteed an experience filled with elegance, sophistication, and unforgettable moments. Your journey towards ‘happily ever after’ deserves nothing less than the exceptional service and unparallelled artistry this collaboration delivers. Entrust your wedding day to You&I Bridal and By Appointment, and allow your love story to be told in the most beautiful and timeless way possible.
