The immortalizing of these priceless moments can only be achieved by freezing these moments against the tides of time through photographs.

Digital photography has a visible edge over the standard one but at the same time due attention has to be paid to some points for obtaining optimal results. Following these simple key points and techniques will result in memorable photographs to cherish the memories forever. This article will guide you through these techniques so that you can capture digital photographs without any professional help.

Tip #1: Getting Natural and Undisturbed shots

This is the foremost rule which should be followed at all times and is mandatory for getting the most unforgettable and unparalleled shots of the people. For this reason the sound of the camera should be turned off. In addition to this always be ready and predict the movement of people so as not to obstruct the ceremony.

Tip#2: Being equipped and organized

Digital photography would lose all its merits and would rather prove to be a nuisance if you are not properly prepared and geared up. Extra batteries must always be kept at hand or else running out of power during the ceremony would not only make you a laughing stock but would make irreparable damage. Same saying goes for memory cards. Better quality photos consume more space and, hence, additional memory cards should also be kept.

Tip #3: Selection of your equipment

Being equipped with proper and necessary equipment is as important as carrying extra batteries and memory cards. For instance a tripod stand would be extremely handy and helpful for shooting during the ceremony as it will allow you pristine photos eliminating the jerk of hand which would otherwise blur the photo.

Tip #4: Editing

Digital photography puts you in a position to correct the photos up to some extent after being shot. The correction includes cropping of un-wanted elements, red-eye removal, brightness, color and contrast management, etc. All this is possible due to the availability of latest picture–editing software.

Tip #5: Saving of photo and different file formats

There are various file formats available for saving the photos. These formats will vary the picture quality and will also affect it being manipulated for different purposes like correction etc. JPG (also known jpeg) is capable of saving very high quality images and has its merits over other formats like GIF.

The problem with the digital wedding photography like other types of photography is that you won’t get another chance to shoot the same photo again. An error of even the slightest sort would be a blemish over the otherwise memorable photo. Take your time and use the previously mentioned tips, and you should be able to take great photographs and save money in the process.
