Here's a great clip where Mark Silber interviews pro wedding photographer "Bambi Cantrell" who speaks to you with a few tips you might want to write down.
Why do all these top wedding photographers have names like Bambi and Starshine? I need to change my name to Ferdinand Mindanao, Rock Strongo, Lance Uppercut or something awesome like that.
What I like about her photography is that she doesn't rely on special effects like a lot of "top wedding photographers" I've seen. Top notch stuff.
Great posing tips too.
Watch this video. It's good.
Expression over perfection. Right, but you want to get at least a basic level of good exposure/sharpness too.
I took this picture of my daughter and youngest son the other week. Hardly the most technically strong photo, but I like it because the expressions are so nice.
Photobod will probably scold me for cutting off the top of their heads and such.
