Still, as per me, it all depends on the skill set and talents of the photographer that will bring out the best shot forward.

3. Image focus

Once you prepare yourself for the perfect click, the first thing that you need to think about is bringing the sharp focus to every element and aspect fo the picture, let's say the image is about a waterfall dropping from a mountain and you want to cover the surrounding flora and fauna alongside.

You need to keep the focus sharp so as every minute detail is visible to the person prima facia. That would be the only way your captured shot can leave a long-lasting impact on the given viewers.

Speaking oif sharp focus, you can do that while playing a bit with the aperture setting of your camera. The focus, however, must be towards bringing the right depth of field to your image. Talking about the right aperture setting, keeping it between f/11 – f/16 is highly recommended.

4. Make the best use of the golden hour

Making the best use of the available light resources comes as one of the most important traits of a professional photographer. Speaking of the golden hour, it is the time before the sunset and after the sunrise.

Photography experts believe that you can find the best lighting for any given picture during this time and you don’t even require a flashlight or any other equipment for the same regards.

5. Practice as much you can

Practice makes a man perfect and the same holds true to wedding photography. Being a wedding photographer, you never know how the wedding venue would look like, how many guests are about to come and how are the lighting conditions going to be,

Hence, its always advisable to practice the shoot way in advance to get rid of any last-minute goof-ups with the same. Take permission from your client and visit the wedding venue in advance. Try to learn the perfect angles, location, and other aspects that would bring the best out of your photography.
