Wedding Special

amazing compared to images shot in
ordinary point and shoot cameras. The
images look quite beautiful when shot in
shallow depth of fi eld as there is much
less distraction. The blur in the backdrop
and the bokehs provide for the perfect
frame as the viewer’s attention stays on
the bride or the groom in the photo.
Shooting weddings can be
challenging because everytime you try to

frame something beautiful, distractions

in one frame or another show up.

Eliminating these distractions can

create a much larger impact because

then the photographer can focus on the

moment rather than worrying about the

background.

This brings us to our next point

of seperating one subject from the

crowd. Owing to the huge crowd in

wedding ceremonies it is impossible

for photographers to draw a viewer’s

attention on one single subject through

their photographs. Having a shallow

depth of fi eld helps in doing just

that! Even when shooting a dance

at the wedding, or a funny moment

in the crowd, it is highly important

to differentiate the subject from the

background or foreground. Since most

weddings are a colourful affair, many

photographers use the background and

foreground colours to their advantage

as colourful bokehs look beautiful.
