7 Brilliant Ideas For Summer Wedding Photography 2022

 This guide is about 8 brilliant ideas to be a bit creative with your summer wedding shot. Read till the end to make the best out of your photography skills.

Ask Your Clients To Choose Summer-Friendly Attires

This is a crucial step in your wedding photography. You should ask your clients to choose summer-friendly attires that are suitable for the heat and humidity of the summer months. This will help them feel more relaxed, resulting in better photos and ensuring that your photos will be as beautiful as possible, even in extreme conditions.

It would be best if you also suggest clients dress up in bright colours and pastel tones such as white and blue to add a fresh feel to the images and make them look more appealing.

Do Not Miss Out On Golden Hours

Summer weddings are a lovely time of year because people tend to be outdoors more often than in winter. However, this does not mean that the whole day of summer is suitable for a photoshoot. Top somerset wedding photographers suggest taking advantage of the golden hours of the day—-the last hour before sunset and the first hour after sunrise. Golden hours, also known as magical hours, remove blemishes and add a fantastic soft-tan touch to the pictures. Keeping a slot to shoot in these magical hours is imperative to get beautiful outdoor photos in the summer. 

Create A Shot List

In order to create a stunning photo collection for your client’s portfolios, you must ensure you have everything planned. This way, you will not miss any opportunities during the wedding event! You should create a list containing all of your client’s favourite shots. Schedule a meeting with them beforehand to discuss a list of significant guests that need to be captured. Also, ask them about specific poses they require in the wedding album. 

Light Diffuser Can Make A Difference

The sun’s bright light can cause harsh shadows, which are hard to hide with colour correction or fill-in tools in Photoshop. This is where diffusion comes in handy; it allows you to reduce the intensity of the light and create softer shadows instead. Most renowned wedding photographers prefer to invest in high-quality diffusers to provide the best results.

Pony Chew Valley Wedding Photography

 

A quick blog today to show some The Pony Chew Valley wedding photography from a beautiful wedding from the weekend that I was lucky enough to document. Laura and Matt were married at the new wedding venue The Pony Chew Valley. In fact it’s so new that they were the first people to have their wedding there! The Pony Chew Valley is a wonderful new wedding venue nestled in the Somerset countryside with a beautiful view out over the Chew Valley. Many people in the South West will remember the The Pony fondly from when it was The Pony and Trap and now after 16 years the owners Josh and Holly have renovated the entire venue and it’s emerged as a fantastic restaurant, venue, cookery school and kitchen garden. It was a real honour to photograph the first wedding as a The Pony Chew Valley wedding photographer and especially great to get to spend all day with Laura and Matt and their lovely friends and family.
