Photographing the flower girl is important because she is a special part of the wedding ceremony and adds a unique charm to the event.
Capturing such moments can help to create lasting memories of the wedding day, as she is a precious and unforgettable part of the ceremony. Such photographs can be treasured by the couple, their families, and the flower girl herself for years to come.
Additionally, photographs of the flower girl can add depth and dimension to the overall wedding album. By including photographs of the flower girl, photographers can capture candid moments of her interacting with guests and enjoying the celebration, as well as more formal shots of her walking down the aisle or standing with the bridal party.
This is one of my favorite images from an engagement party at La Bella Vista wedding venue.
The flower girl stands on the polished wooden dance floor, her eyes locked onto the camera lens in front of her. She wears a delicate white dress with a voluminous skirt that sways gently as she moves. The dress is adorned with intricate lace and pearl detailing, matching the elegant theme of the engagement party.
A hint of a smile tugs at the corners of her lips, giving her a playful and mischievous air. Her black eyes sparkle with excitement.
In the background, guests dance and sway to the upbeat music, but the flower girl remains still, gazing confidently into the camera.
Photography equipment during the dances
During the dances, I usually carry two camera bodies with prime lenses. My favorite combination is a 24mm f/1.4 and a 85mm f/1.2 lens. In this way I manage to capture authentic moments and isolate the subject without having to use a flash.
Prime lenses tend to have a larger maximum aperture than zoom lenses, meaning they can let in more light. This is especially important during low-light situations like dances, where the lighting may be dim and difficult to work with. The wider aperture allows for faster shutter speeds, reducing the likelihood of blurry photos due to camera shake or subject movement.
