Behind the camera in a wedding photoshoot

Weddings are unique and memorable moments where every detail matters. However, behind those perfect photos that capture the essence of the day, there is hard work that often goes unnoticed. At Click10, we specialise in transforming those fleeting moments into everlasting memories, and today we invite you to discover what happens behind the scenes in a wedding photoshoot.

Planning a wedding photoshoot

A wedding photoshoot begins long before the big day. Planning is essential to ensure everything goes as the couple envisions. At Click10, we meet with the couple before they hire our services to make sure we are the right fit for them. We take the time to get to know them personally, explain our working methods, and show them sample albums to ensure that our natural editing style is exactly what they want for their wedding photos.

The second, and most important, meeting takes place during the week of the wedding with the photographers who will be there on the big day. In this meeting, we go over the day’s schedule chronologically—from the preparations to the first dance. We review logistics, special details the couple has prepared, their must-have photo list, and share a few helpful tips. This meeting is wonderful for the couple, who leave feeling confident that we have everything under control, and for us, as it allows us to adapt to each couple’s needs, making every wedding truly unique!

The Equipment

One of the key factors in a wedding photoshoot is the equipment we use. At Click10, we invest in the latest technology to ensure that our photos not only capture the moment but do so with the highest possible quality.

• High-Resolution Cameras: We use state-of-the-art cameras that capture high-resolution images, perfect for large-format prints and ensuring every detail is preserved with clarity.

• Specialised Lenses: Depending on the shot, we use different lenses that allow us to play with depth of field, capturing intricate details or stunning wide-angle views.

• Professional Lighting: While natural light is ideal, in certain situations it’s necessary to use flash, either to compensate for low lighting or to enhance the scene. We integrate it seamlessly with our camera to ensure beautiful, well-lit photos.

  
  

The execution: capturing real-time emotions

Once everything is in place, the real action begins. During the wedding, our photographers blend discreetly with the guests, capturing spontaneous and genuine moments. The key is to be in the right place at the right time, without interrupting the natural flow of the event.

Some of the techniques we use include:

• Natural Photography: Instead of forcing poses, we capture natural and candid moments. These are the photos that truly convey the emotions of the day.

• Gentle Guidance: For most of the day, the couple won’t even notice we’re taking photos, but there are a few key moments where we’ll guide them to ensure they get the stunning shots they’ve seen on our website, Instagram, and in albums—while making sure everyone looks their best.

• Attention to Detail: We make sure to capture every small detail that makes the wedding unique, from the floral arrangements to the rings, ensuring nothing is overlooked.

Post-Production: where the magic is perfected

After the wedding, the post-production phase begins, where we review all the photos and select the best ones. At Click10, we apply a natural editing style without filters, ensuring the images remain timeless.

• Photo Selection: We deliver photos that meet our high-quality standards, discarding those with closed eyes or unflattering expressions to ensure everyone looks their best.

• Editing and Retouching: We adjust lighting, framing, and contrast, and convert certain photos to black and white when artistically appropriate, enhancing their beauty.

• Albums and Presentations: Finally, we design customised albums that narrate the entire story of the wedding, providing a tangible keepsake the couple can cherish for years. For the album photos, we apply gentle, natural Photoshop retouching.

  
  

The result: memories that last a lifetime

The final outcome is far more than just a collection of photos; it’s a compilation of memories that capture the essence of love and joy from that special day. Each image tells a story, with every detail carefully chosen to reflect the couple's personality and style.

At Click10, we understand that wedding photos are some of the most cherished memories a couple can have. That’s why we pour all our effort and passion into every session, ensuring that each photo reflects the magic of the moment.
