DIRECTION IN MARRIAGE

What not to do

The spouses choose Drimage for our way of being and telling, but above all for our "direction". What is the direction in marriage? Simply the way of managing people at different times. As the director in the movies directs the actors, the wedding photographer coordinates people.

An example of classic direction (which I I do NOT do ) is have the groom put on and put back on his jacket.

Other things I DON'T do

- Say "pretend to..."

- Say "smile"

- Say "go" before EVERYTHING

- Forcing situations that are not in the spouses/families' hearts just because "it has to be done"

- Repeat the scene several times to shoot it from various angles

- Constantly saying we are late

- Provide resort-style entertainment

- Make fake skits

- Ask to simulate emotions

- Scream

Now I'll tell you a secret that isn't such a secret: I make faces. If you're doing something that's getting in the way of direction you'll notice it right away that I'm treating you.

I would like to be more diplomatic, but I have limits.

Your photographer when someone tells the bride and groom “pretend to…”

So, while the scene is unfolding spontaneously, when someone comes and starts yelling at the bride and groom what they have to do because, for example, they have to look into the camera and smile with their teeth in all the photos like the dog in The Mask, I make faces.

 The bride when they tell her “look at me and smile”

When someone forces me to take photos and situations that will be thrown away without anyone missing, wasting everyone's time, I make faces.

When someone suggests to the spouses gruesome photos which they then propose to me, I make faces.
