In wedding photography, a subtle but effective technique called “mirroring” may not be well known. This approach involves the photographer subtly imitating the body language and posture of the couple to create an authentic photo. For example, if a couple stands close together and turn to each other, the photographer can also position himself close and reflect the attitude. This technique helps the couple to be more calm, encouraging natural poses and authentic expressions.
Another technique, “framing,” is an advanced compositional technique in wedding photography that uses elements in the scene to surround the main subject. This method draws attention to the couple, adds depth to the image, and enhances the narrative by providing contextual relevance. For example, the photographer can place the couple under a gate or in a doorway. These natural or architectural elements act as a frame, guiding the viewer’s gaze to the couple while highlighting the beauty of the surroundings.
Opportunities for framing can be found throughout the wedding venue, from flower arrangements to windows and other decorative elements. Using these techniques can improve the overall composition of the photograph and its emotional impact.
