Capture confetti

With swelling joy, swirling colours and a flurry of smiles, the confetti moment is the quintessential photo from any wedding day. This time-honoured celebration is loaded with emotion, and the chaos of the colour filling the frame elevates this iconic image to a wedding must-have. But getting a good photo of the confetti moment can be a challenge. With petals tumbling in every direction, focus know-how, camera skills and split-second timing are required to capture a picture-perfect confetti photo.

You will also need to consider where to position yourself. If you’re the hired photographer you’ll be front and centre to organize guests. If you’re a guest, you’ll need to not distract from the newlyweds or get in the pro’s way, and shoot from the sidelines.
