Key tips and tricks
It is for those men who are not shy about the camera and ready to listen to the advice of the photographer, there are wedding photo shoots for grooms. The photograph “Morning of the Groom” usually takes place either in the apartment where the guy lives, or in the apartments of the hotel in which he spent the night before the wedding.
Despite the fact that the groom is clearly less trouble in terms of fees, it is still worth planning the morning as best as possible. It will not be superfluous to write a plan in a notebook - when everything is calculated, there will be time for beautiful photos, and for thorough preparation for the celebration without the fuss that no one needs on such a day.
First of all, the groom should take a shower, and only then start taking pictures. The best option for carrying out the process is a separate room in the apartment, where the young man can calmly gather his thoughts, get dressed and prepare for the crucial step.
During the work of the photographer, the photographer himself, the groom may be in the room, and usually there is still a witness from the groom.
It is worth thinking in advance about the decoration of the room where the shooting takes place. The atmosphere of celebration and celebration will help to create uncomplicated accessories - flowers on the table and nightstands, a newlywed suit on a hanger, polished shoes, cufflinks in a beautiful box.
Men are by nature less romantic than girls. Therefore, in a male photo shoot, photos with a share of humor and a cheerful company of the groom's friends are appropriate.
Unnecessary worries are useless - an experienced photographer will always give practical advice and recommend how you get up, sit down, where to look and in what position so that the photos turn out to be as successful as possible.
The main advice on such an exciting day for everyone is not to deviate from the planned actions and the schedule of the day. The groom should take into account that during the period of the photo shoot he must dress and be fully prepared to leave the bride.
It is known that men are eternal children. And all the children love to play. An interesting approach that can defuse the situation during a photo shoot is to turn shooting into a game. A photographer can ask a young man to open a bottle of champagne, help the bride in gathering (if the boudoir morning is joint), throw a jacket from a suit and even brush his teeth - an experienced photographer will find a good moment to stay in his memory for a long time. In addition, this kind of action makes it possible to make funny shoots like reporting.
By nature, a man is always in action. Do not just pose for the groom. The pictures taken at the moment of movement are the most sincere and real.
Sometimes in the pictures the emphasis is not on the groom, but on some objects. A skilled photographer makes good use of the surrounding interior to set the semantic accents of the day. These can be both small interior items of the premises where the fees are held, and the environment as a whole.
If in the training camp there is a company of boyfriend's friends, then this is another reason to diversify the pictures. Friends will make the morning special and memorable. In this case, the photographer will only have to observe the process of collecting from the outside and manage to click the shutter, catching funny and funny moments in the lens. But still, the groom should be the central figure, do not forget about it.
When the gatherings come to an end and the groom shines with youth and solemnity, it is worth taking a few shots of the portrait plan.
Ideas for Photolocation
Usually morning photography of the groom takes place either in his own apartment or in a hotel room. Of course, if the budget allows and there is an option suitable for the style, then it will be more interesting to shoot at the hotel. The interior of the apartments there is usually strict, minimalist, which is the best suited for men.
If the wedding takes place in any color scheme, then it is worth choosing a room with a similar color scheme of the interior. This will allow to combine the photo of the whole day with a single thread of color, and not to knock the photo with the groom out of the crowd.
The option of shooting at home is the most budgetary and comfortable in terms of emotions. Everything is at hand, a familiar environment that does not cause excitement.
If possible and weather conditions allow, then you can spend the morning of the groom in a country house. Especially atmospheric are the photos in houses where the rustic style is preserved - wooden log walls, a fireplace, animal skins. This will emphasize the masculinity, brutality of the young man.
Outside the house, beautiful photos also come out. Especially in the spring and autumn. You can make some funny photos.For example, the groom can chop wood for the fireplace or wield a saw, sweep the autumn leaves. Again, it all depends on the wedding season and weather conditions on the day of the celebration.
Recently, shooting the groom’s fees at the barber shop has become very popular. Who still does not know - this is a stylish hairdresser, where not only the hair on the head is cut, but also the beard. The advantages of such a photo shoot is that it is a very unusual and new place. Men come here to maintain the true beauty of their hair and beard. Such a photo shoot will be very original for the bride and groom.
But there are drawbacks to this solution: it is not always convenient, especially if the groom first came to the barbershop. He may feel uncomfortable and insecure. In addition, you will have to pack and bring with you the necessary props for filming.
Another option for shooting groom's fees can be a photo studio. There is professional lighting, an extraordinary interior with several photo zones. You can choose a photo studio with an interior suitable for the general style of a wedding celebration. Of the minuses, one can note only hourly pay and limited time, as well as time to travel back and forth, which can play a cruel joke - both the groom and the photographer will worry about being in time and not being late.
When shooting the groom’s fees, it is important to remember that the main task of the photographer is to make this day memorable, capture the history of the event, preserve sincere emotions and feelings. The groom must always remain natural and behave naturally, as if there is no photographer nearby.
