Hi Everyone

Out at the weekend photographing a wedding at Citation Glasgow.  As an event photographer Edinburgh and Glasgow, It’s good to get back into wedding photography after a reduced number of weddings during the pandemic.  The venue at Citation Glasgow was excellent and the wedding couple were fantastic.  Photographs will follow once the couple have given their permission. Also at the weekend, I managed some infrared photography at my old home in Dunbar East Lothian.  The weather was perfect for it, with sun, clouds and plenty detail for infrared photography in Scotland.  Getting back to weddings, here are a few tips for wedding photographers in Scotland.  
 

1. Preparation is key, check all your gear, make sure you get there in plenty of time, arrange for food and know all your timings on the day.

2. Have a strict timetable for the day and try to stick with it, but remember to take lots of candid shots.

3. Keep an eye on your camera settings, changing your speed, ISO and aperture depending on light and also your white balance for indoor and outdoor shooting.

4. Use few lenses but bring 2 cameras.  I use a 24-70mm, 70-210mm and an 85mm, sometimes a  50mm standard lens or 40mm, plus one flash with a modifier or of camera.

5. Make sure you cover every crucial part ie arrival, ceremony, speeches, cake cutting and first dance.

So enjoy and until next time, I will leave you with an infrared photo from Dunbar.

Kind Regards

Colin
