How to shoot weddings.
Photographing in modern flats is not very difficult from technical point of view; it’s important to have practical skills of using swivel head of system photoflash, take into consideration, for example, the colour of ceiling and walls. If they are painted in bright intense colours, the light reflected from them will affect the bride’s skin and wedding dress colour. You may use the daylight from windows for shooting portraits of the bride. This light is soft and bright enough, and shade can be lightened with light disk (See photo 2).

The friends and relatives of the bride are bustling around her when she is being dressed. This is a good opportunity to shoot them applying reportage methods of work, i.e. without resort to setting. Clients don’t expect such kind of photographs, but they can be surprised gratefully when see them (See photos 3-6).
