Equestrian Wedding Photography Made Simple

By Mayra Roman


There are quite a few types of equestrian wedding photography and photographers. A lot of photographers in areas where there are horses will have this type available if this is your theme. Make sure that you ask about how much experience with horses that your photographer has before hiring them. They should know about people, horses, and horse drawn carriages.

If your event has a simple horse drawn carriage many times the driver of the carriage or the coordinator for it will have ideas of pictures that work. They often know what looks good and how to compliment both the bridal couple and the carriage. Sometimes they will even know the best photo places for these pictures. It is important to make sure your photographer can take direction from someone who knows the carriage, horse, and has done weddings previously.

The horse might also be involved in a western or English themed ceremony. If you are working with a barn or stable then the owner of the company can suggest ideas and companies to use for the photos. They usually have worked with a variety of photographers previously and can offer recommendations.

The hardest is when you are using your own horses in the ceremonies. Many times it is a good idea to ask if the photographer you are hiring has experience with horses and ceremonies including them. They should know how to take pictures that highlight the horses as well as the people. It is best that they have experience in these sort of things so that the pictures come out how you want them.

The different types of equestrian photography that you can choose depends on the type of ceremony you are having. If it is a horseback event then choose a photographer who has experience with taking pictures of people on horseback. They should also have experience taking pictures of people with horses.

When a carriage or horse is involved it is always important to listen to the owner of the animal and ask for someone who specializes in equestrian wedding photography. There is nothing good about choosing the wrong photographer for this assignment. Making sure that they have the ability before hand will save a lot of trouble after the ceremony is over.
