Use the right camera resolution |
|
 |
|
Before shooting, set your camera's resolution based on what you intend to do with your photos. The higher the
resolution, the more clarity and detail your photos will have. A 1-2 megapixel (MP) setting may be sufficient
for small prints (such as 4 x 6) or e-mailing photos, but choose at least 4 MP if you want to make 8" x 10"
enlargements. Keep in mind that you may want to edit and resize these wedding photos later. For this, its
important to use a larger MP setting to ensure that the photo is still high quality.

Tell the full story |

 |
|
Preserve the entire day by snapping photos during preparation through the whole event. Packing an extra
memory card and battery will ensure you can take as many shots as you want.
|
Capture candid moments |
|
 |
|
Anticipate a great candid shot by holding your camera's shutter halfway down to lock focus, and then gently
press the shutter all the way when you see the perfect picture. This will prevent "shutter lag" and allow you
to capture the moment right when it happens.
Chances are, the professional photographer will cover the formal wedding pictures, so look for offbeat and
overlooked candid moments instead: a child sticking his finger in the cake, a sea of bridesmaids struggling
to catch the bouquet, or Grandma doing the hokey-pokey.

Think beyond colour |
|
 |
|
Don't limit yourself to colour photos.
Black-and-white photography
has a timeless, romantic quality perfectly suited to weddings.
The bracketing feature on select HP digital cameras like the HP Photosmart R927 digital camera
lets you record three versions of each photo (colour, black and white, and sepia, for example). You can choose
your favorite later. Free
HP Photosmart Essential
software also allows you to change the colour of your photos once they are downloaded to your computer.

Get the details |
|
 |
|
Focus on small details that make the day beautiful. Capture close-up shots with your camera's zoom feature.
Use can also use your camera's portrait mode (a feature of most HP cameras) when
you want to make sure the subject is in sharp focus and the background soft.

A photo calendar or scrapbook commemorating a wedding makes a thoughtful gift that will last long after the
bouquet is tossed.
