D

estination weddings have
become extremely common
as more and more people are
spending enormous amounts of money
on their weddings. This poses a chance
for photographers to get their creative
juices flowing as the exotic locations
produce amazing wedding photographs!
But one needs to know how to use these
locations to their benefit.

Recce
Recce or reconnaissance is a term used
by the military and often borrowed by
photographers to define surveying or
researching a region. Recce is extremely
important as a photographer needs
to visualise different frames before

shooting them. During

the wedding period the bride and

groom are extremely busy and might

not have time for you to bring them

in and then start experimenting with

different frames. Always think of the

locations you will shoot in,

the costumes you want the couple in,

and set up your equipment and intimate

the couple beforehand. A recce of the

place also provides a good opportunity

to understand the light which bring us to

our next point.
