Photography Tips for Guests

Leave the posed pictures to the professionals and let loose with fun and creative candid shots instead! Capture the happy couple unposed on their special day, and your unique shots will be a treasured memento for years to come.
Capture the Unexpected
The flower girl trailing petals. The bride just before she enters the church. Old friends seeing each other for the first time in years. The groomsmen preparing the getaway car. You'll have the benefit of knowing the other guests and family members, which will give you an advantage in capturing special moments.
Mind Your Manners
There's a reason celebrities hate the paparazzi - they can be so intrusive. It's easy to get carried away on the big day, but try to respect the dignity of the ceremony by refraining from taking distracting flash pictures at solemn moments. Also be conscious of your whereabouts, you don't want to take attention away from the couple or block the view of other guests.
Emotional Rescue
Keep your camera close at hand and ready to go so you can get the precious shots that express the overwhelming emotion of the occasion. Smiles, tears, surprises, and hugs make for truly memorable pictures.
Built for Speed
Make sure you use 400- or 800-speed film so you can snap away in the dimly lit church and stop the action for the bouquet toss and the lucky couples' getaway. Proper use of your flash is also important. Check your camera manual to find out the flash range for your particular model.
Truly Gifted
Once you've taken all these great shots, compile a personalized photo album or online slideshow as your wedding gift.
