How to Incorporate Your Wedding Theme into Your Photos

By, May 30, 2023

At True Photography we understand the importance of capturing the perfect wedding photos. One way to make your wedding photos even more memorable is by incorporating your wedding theme into them. Here are some tips on how to do just that:

1. Choose the Right Location:

The location of your photo shoot can make a huge difference in the overall look and feel of your photos. If you’re having a beach-themed wedding, consider taking photos on the beach with the ocean in the background. If you’re having a rustic-themed wedding, consider taking photos in a barn or on a farm.

2. Coordinate Your Colors:

Make sure the colors you choose for your wedding decor match the colors in your photos. This will make your photos look cohesive and put together. For example, if you’re having a purple-themed wedding, consider using purple flowers in your bouquet and as centerpieces, and wearing a purple tie or jewelry.

3. Add Props:

Props can be a great way to incorporate your wedding theme into your photos. For example, if you’re having a vintage-themed wedding, consider using vintage suitcases, hats, or other items as props in your photos.

4. Use Lighting to Your Advantage:

Lighting is crucial when it comes to photography. If you’re having a romantic-themed wedding, consider taking photos during the golden hour, which is the hour before sunset when the lighting is soft and warm.

How to Capture Authentic Moments on Your Wedding Day in San Diego

By, May 21, 2023

At True Photography we understand the importance of capturing authentic moments on your wedding day. It’s these real, raw emotions that make your special day so unique and memorable. In this blog post, we’ll share some tips and tricks for capturing these moments on camera.

1. Hire a Professional Photographer

The first step to capturing authentic moments on your wedding day is to hire a professional photographer. A professional photographer has the experience and skills to anticipate and capture those special moments that you might miss. They’ll know how to use their camera to capture the emotions and atmosphere of your wedding day in a way that no amateur photographer can.

2. Get to Know Your Photographer

To get the most out of your wedding photography, it’s important to build a good relationship with your photographer. Schedule a pre-wedding consultation or engagement shoot to get to know your photographer and their style. This will help you feel more comfortable in front of the camera on your wedding day, and your photographer will be better able to capture those authentic moments.

3. Plan for Candid Shots

While traditional posed photos have their place, some of the most authentic moments are often captured in candid shots. Plan for candid shots by choosing a photographer who has experience in capturing these types of shots. Let your photographer know which moments you want to capture, such as the first look, the exchange of vows, or the first dance, and they’ll be ready to capture those authentic moments on camera.

4. Be in the Moment

One of the biggest mistakes couples make on their wedding day is not being fully present in the moment. It’s easy to get caught up in the stress and excitement of the day, but it’s important to take a step back and enjoy the moment. By being present and in the moment, you’ll create more opportunities for authentic moments to occur, and your photographer will be there to capture them.

5.     Embrace Imperfection

Finally, it’s important to remember that the most authentic moments are often the imperfect ones. Don’t worry about small details or imperfections in your wedding day. Instead, embrace them and focus on the bigger picture. These imperfections are what make your wedding day unique and memorable.

First Look Photo Session: Pros and Cons

By, May 18, 2023

At True Photography, we’ve had the privilege of capturing countless first look photo sessions. We understand that the decision to have a first look photo session on your wedding day can be a difficult one. That’s why we’ve put together this post to help you weigh the pros and cons of this popular wedding trend.

First Look Photo Sessions:

Pros:

  1. More Time for Photos: Having a first look photo session before the ceremony allows us to capture more photos of you and your partner. This extra time also allows us to take advantage of the best lighting conditions of the day, resulting in even more stunning photos.
  2. Intimate Moment: A first look is a private moment between you and your partner, away from the hustle and bustle of the wedding day. It’s a chance for you to share a special moment together. Additionally we are able to capture those emotions in a more intimate setting.
  3. Reduced Stress: Seeing your partner before the ceremony can help to ease any nerves or anxiety you may be feeling. It can also help to reduce the stress of the day, allowing you to fully enjoy the ceremony and reception.

Cons:

  1. Tradition: For some couples, the idea of seeing each other before the ceremony goes against tradition. If you or your partner feel strongly about adhering to tradition, then a first look photo session may not be for you.
  2. Timing: Adding a first look photo session to your wedding day timeline can add extra time and planning. This can be challenging if you have a tight schedule or a large bridal party.
  3. Missing Out on the Aisle Moment: Some couples prefer to save the first look for the aisle moment. Seeing each other for the first time as you walk down the aisle can be an emotional and memorable moment. With first look photos that moment could be missed.

Ultimately, the decision to have a first look photo session is a personal one. Overall that choice should reflect your unique style and preferences. At True Photography, we work closely with each of our clients. We always ensure that our clients wedding photography captures the essence of their love story, whether or not they choose to have a first look photo session.
