As a documentary wedding photographer, I focus on capturing real moments that reflect honest wedding stories. That means I donโt stage anything throughout a wedding day. This is almost like a commandment when I photograph weddings or families, and it applies to details shots as well. I never want to place a wedding ring on a nice texture and get a macro shot with dazzling bokeh at the back, or hang a gown next to a vintage door. Real wedding pictures are not product shots, they are about people in real life that are related to the wedding. Thatโs why if I have to photograph some wedding details, I will look for them within real action or moments. The results are much more satisfying as they can tell you more about a wedding and its attendees.
