Many times potential clients come to you with images that they’ve seen, and as photographers we’re able to instantly understand the scene around the image.  We, as wedding photographers, want to get you all those fabulous images just as badly as you want them.

So many times I arrive at a wedding and instantly start building a shot list in my head.  How I want to frame the bride and groom against their center piece, trying to line up angles when toasts are being given, places where you will set up lights for the best effect.  There are so many times where the placement of certain tables would be adjusted just a few feet to allow for some really amazing images.  Center pieces are usually placed right in the middle of the master table many times obstructing a shot of the bride and groom leaning in towards each other for a sweet kiss.  Cakes are usually backed right against a wall so the variety of shots available for the cake cutting are limited.  Just a few little tweaks can really turn an average photo into an amazing photographic opportunity.

As you can see but the image on the left if you simply move the cake away from the wall you can get a much more interesting angle on the subject and include the bride or groom in the frame for that added little touch.
