How I Capture Amazing Wedding Photo

If you are about to shoot your first wedding, it can be an extremely daunting time. I've now got around five years of experience of wedding photography, and now I can take perfect shot though, I get a little nervous still now about being honest.
Today I am gonna tell you how can I take perfect shot at the wedding.
1. Being prepared. Have a list of all the talented people to take with I on the day, so I know who's who and to make sure I don't miss out any of the wedding party. A list of group photographs agreed with the bride and groom before the day, is also a must. The groups can be hard enough to organize at the best of times, but without some planning, chaos will likely ensue.
2. Get my kit right. I have two camera bodies in case one break, and the same goes for my lenses and flashes. Spare batteries and memory cards are a must too. A right lens is probably even more important than the camera body, and as far as the best lens for wedding photography goes, my firm favorite is the Canon EF 70-200 mm f/2.8L IS II USM. It's part of Canon's L series, so it isn't cheap, but it's build quality, and the quality of the image is fantastic.
3. Being as friendly, not over-friendly though, courteous and charming. I don't be bossy, even if it means I miss one or two shots during the day. If I get the guests on my side, they're much more likely to laugh and smile when you're around, and that's half the battle won right there.
4. Creativity, I try to be creative in my shot selection and composition. I consider shooting through a gate at the couple kissing, lean out of a first-floor window for a big group shot, get low for the little flower girl.
5. I shoot as many combinations of people as I reasonably can. The bride with each bridesmaid, then all together, the bride with her mum, then with dad, then with mum and dad. I've got a much better chance of selling more photos this way and getting some lovely memories for everyone at the same time.
6. I practice shooting in the different lighting conditions and posing as well before the day. I grab my partner for a mock portrait shoot or my friends to simulate photographing the groups. This is one of the best wedding photography tips I can give. It makes the whole day much much more comfortable.
