A wedding is one of the most romantic events in a couple's life, a day that they will look back on for the rest of their lives together. A wedding photographer should be able to capture the joyful feeling of that day with pictures of the ceremony, the exchange of vows and rings. Later at the reception there will be photos of the wedding party, the guests and the high points such as speeches and cutting the cake. Most important of all is to get pictures of the bride and groom that they will treasure forever.

Often, between the ceremony and the reception, the photographer will look for an attractive background for the romantic wedding photos, such as a beautiful garden, an arched entry to the church, or a nearby park. Often though, time is limited and the bride and groom are anxious to get back to the celebrations, making it difficult for the photographer to do his best work.

However, you can, if you wish, offer your services as a romantic wedding portrait taker, easily and inexpensively. Using a green screen and chroma key software it is simple, a lot easier than you might think.

All you will need is a place where you can get the proper lighting or can set up your own lights. You will need three lights, two lights facing the center of the screen and a third to light the happy couple. You will take plenty of shots, then back in your own studio you can add in the background that will show off the young couple at their best.

Imagine the settings that the newly wed couple would find most romantic, to start their life's journey together. Maybe a beautiful beach, framed by palm trees, would be their favorite, or a gorgeous rose garden, or even a picturesque old barn. With your computer and the chroma key software you can give them the setting that they feel will express the love they feel for each other.

Of course any new husband will want to show off his beautiful new bride to his guy friends and co-workers. After taking the pictures of the happy couple, ask the groom to step away so that you can take some quality shots of the bride from different angles. Take some from the front holding her bouquet, from the side (profile pictures are very popular). Do your best to catch the spirit of the day, the happiness and excitement of starting her new life with her husband.

Again, when you return to your studio, add a background such as a set of marble stairs, an old castle, or a lovely country road winding away into the distance. You can use the software to enhance the colors, lighten or darken the scene to add drama to the photo.
