As a couple, there are a few photography etiquette ideas you should know upfront and some ideas to think of ahead of time.

Creating the most well rounded wedding album is to include candid and posed shots. Photographers with photojournalism experience have established a repertoire of techniques for both.

Formal pictures are essential for wedding day photographer.  Formals are best left for the time before the ceremony, between ceremony and reception, during and after reception.

Planning a wedding on a tight budget is very possible. Just remember, if you choose a family friend or relative with no prior photography experience, the results could turn out to be less than what you intended.

It's your day, your pictures, your memories. By creating a detailed list of must-have pictures and what kinds of shots are your least favorite helps the photographer from intruding when you're having a good time.

Black and white photos are becoming very popular in today's wedding photography trends. However, the colorful shots capture so much beauty of the day. 


A few etiquette rules you can expect from a professional photographer.


A professional photographer is one who respects the couple's wishes. This also means arriving on time, equipped, treating bridal party and family with respect and being flexible.

Intruding on the couple by asking unnecessary questions is unacceptable. The majority of the details and specific shots will be planned ahead of time.

Weddings are formal where everyone in attendance is to dress accordingly including photographers and their assistant.

It's common for brides to get photographed while they are putting on their dress and this is one of those times when the photographer acts professionally and with decency.

Above all, a good photographer is one that acts with good judgment and upholds their character, which is what you can expect from Rick Dean Photography.
