Southern Indiana Weddings 2014 Secrets of the trade How to get the most out of your wedding photography Stephen and Hannah Phillips of Phillips Photography are Sellersburgbased photographers with lots of experience with wedding photography. Hannah was kind enough to answer some e-mail questions for couples thinking about pictures for their special day. SILM: What are some considerations when booking a wedding photographer? Hannah: It is very important that you use a contract when booking any service and photography is no diferent. A contract will ensure everyone agrees to all the terms outlined, and the bride & groom know what they’re getting and what to expect. Also make sure your photographer has backup equipment. We like to say we have a backup for our backup for our backup! If one camera fails, there needs to be another to take over. Know how many shooters you get on your wedding day. Having more than one photographer helps with diferent perspectives, angles and opportunities. Ask about lighting. We use of camera lighting for nearly everything except during the ceremony so as not to distract. Some venues are not lit as well as others, and lighting is needed to compensate. SILM: Posing for pictures is huge. Good photographers know how to pose their bride and groom. Can you ofer some tips for couples to look their best when they are having their photos taken? Hannah: If possible, get to know your photographer before the wedding. Engagement portraits are a great opportunity for this.

Make-up artists know how to highlight and contrast your unique features so you look gorgeous in your wedding pictures. SILM: What are some wedding faux pas for a photographer? Photos courtesy Phillips Photography Hannah: The “Head” Shot. When rehearsing for that walk down the aisle, take care to note where the ofciatior is standing. It’s best if he or she can avoid standing in front of the bride and groom so your photographer can make sure to capture that ring exchange, and not your ofciator’s head. Unbuttoned Jackets! Taking jackets of is cute and fun in many pictures, but for those formal family poses, button ‘em up boys! The Odd Ball Out. We love quirky ‘un-posed’ pictures. To get a good balance, we always get the formal stuf, too. Moms and grandmas want them! For example, if you’re a bridesmaid, try to make sure you’re standing uniform with the other girls. Hold your bouquets at the same level. Stand in the same direction. Hands. This one is the boys again. We tell our guys that we don’t care what they do with their hands as long as they all look the same. Again, this is for the formal shots, not the random fun or candid ones. We told this to one group of groomsmen and wound up with a pretty // Story jumps to page 49 January/February 2014 • 32
