As a photographer at a wedding...? |
...What should I wear to the rehersal dinner and the wedding/reception? The rehearsal dinner is usually casual. Wear a nice outfit, though, not jeans and a tee! You want to look professional. Trousers and a polo would be fine. At the wedding, dress at the same level as the guests. For a nighttime super-formal affair, a tux for guys or at least a dark suit, for less formal daytime weddings, a nice pair of pants or skirt and nice shirt, with a tie or without. (If a tie hinders you, then don't wear one.) Black is fine I usually wear a black pants suit with a long vest with pockets for stuff. Comfortable shoes! Do not wear heels. I wear black sneakers with pants, or comfortable flats with a skirt or dress. If you're wearing a dress, make sure it is long enough to cover important parts of your anatomy when you crouch or bend! (This assumes you are a female. If you're a guy, then no dress for you, that might take attention away from the bride on her "special day"!) This Saturday I am shooting a wedding at a rodeo. The B & G are riding in on a tractor. The attendants will be in overalls and red shirts. So I will probably wear a denim jumper, but this is a very informal wedding! In most cases, dress similarly as you would if you were a guest and you will be fine. Something business casual....you want to be comfortable but still uphold a good image! Something tastefull and professional. Nothing red, black, or white. All black so you blend in. Used to work in high-end hotel all event photogs wore black. suggest checking with bride, may depend on type of wedding in multi-cultural sense, so something thats blends in, and possibly a name tag, for other guests to recognize you as a photographer, and have fun,鈽?br /> note, if it was your wedding, how would you expect the photographer to appear, .. i disagree with the above answers i occasionally do weddings, i wear comfortable clothes, runners, tidy pants, shirt, my black vest with spare mem cards, batteries, business cards, note book, pens, pencils et cetera i like to look the part not part of the wedding party, im not only working (sometimes for 8 hours or more if you do reception etc) im advertising, couple of cameras round your neck also helps, use an assistant to watch your gear and your back be comfortable, not scruffy but dont wear heals etc. its like this if you call a plumber and hes in a suit what would you think? On both occasions, dress to fit in. |
