In wedding photography, the subject is always the wedding and the bride and groom. The position of the camera is important for shooting good wedding pictures. If you are planning to shoot a photo of any wedding, then the shot needs to be taken from a relatively low camera height, which should not exceed the photographer’s hips. The ever popular head shot or head and shoulders portrait has to be taken from slightly above the eye level of the couple. This height will bring out well defined facial features but if you don’t maintain the right level then your wedding photographs will have a distorted view. But the best wedding pictures can be taken if you shoot from below eye level and that is how most world leaders are photographed. This level will make the couple look taller and dominant.
