DIY wedding photography

What does a wedding photographer do at his own wedding? Yes – he takes the photos all by himself 
Not joking that is really what we did! But it happened that way because we wanted to be all by ourselves. So how does it work?
During the short ceremony with the wedding officer I had the camera mounted on a tripod (with wide angle lens) and used the serial photo function. Every 10 seconds the camera took a photo. This time period wasn’t too short, it was just right to capture the ring exchange and other important moments.
The really fun part was the photo shoot itself. Here I used a radio controlled remote to fire the camera. I also set it on a tripod, but this time with a telephoto lens, because I really wanted to knock out the background of the photos. Always at first I directed my bride to be in the right position, then I arranged the camera and the metering. At last, I joined my wife in that setting.
While standing in the right position we had so much fun by doing weird movements, kisses, hugging and all other stuff. With every change or every movement I released the button on the remote…

The results were really good (as you can see) and it was so much fun too! Of course you are limited with the kind of styles you can achieve but we have the photos we wanted in the way we wanted it!
Und die Porträtfotos sind auch wirklich schön geworden. Unsere Lieblingsporträts sind die bewegteren Bilder, beim Laufen, Springen usw.
