When a couple decide to take that step forward and commit to a life together, in front of their friends and family vow to love and cherish each other, it is one of the most beautiful things that we can hope to experience in our lifetimes. The solemn and powerful promise that binds two people together for an eternity, is a union that keeps the notion of marriage alive. Keeping that magical day alive in our memories is the sole responsibility of the wedding photographer. Playing one of the most crucial roles on the big day, he or she will endeavor to capture that magical day, the ceremony, the mood and the celebration for all time.

However, the most important images will be of the bride and groom, just after the ceremony. The photographer will look for a suitable background to take snaps of the married couple just before the reception, in the first few moments of man and wife. Settings can vary, from an intricate stained glass window inside the church to a flower-filled garden with the couple in the center. Due to certain restrictions though, the photographer is severely limited, and ultimately cannot offer a truly impressive portfolio of pictures. Here is where the services of an exotic wedding portrait taker comes in.

An exotic wedding portrait taker uses certain tools, including a green screen and chroma key software, in a simple and cost-efficient way, that is a lot easier than it may initially seem. First of all, you need to achieve the correct lighting, so select a location where there is a lot of clear, natural light, or a place where it is possible for you to set up your own lights. After illuminating the screen, with two lights facing the center of the screen, a third light is focused on the newlyweds. Take a good selection of photos from various angles and positions, and once back at your studio add in suitable backdrops that fits the couple.

Choosing an appropriate backdrop is a subtle art. Say for instance, the happy couple want a background that symbolizes their undying love, one that is the epitome of romance. Scenes of natural beauty, such as awe-inspiring views over mountainous countryside, a beach at sunset or a meadow filled with hollyhocks and tall sweeping grass work best. For a more powerful impact, waterfalls, crashing waves, even grand marble structures will help convey stronger emotions. These backgrounds will enable the bride to look back and recall the strong feelings she and her husband felt that special day, be it five or fifty years later. An everlasting memory.

And, although it is an unspoken truth that this is the bride's big day, it is also true that men indulge in a little boasting from time to time. So, as long as the images aren't overtly feminine, or you create a portfolio that is a balance between the two, both man and wife will be showing all and sundry your photos of their amazing day.

To satisfy both the bride and groom, make sure there are a few sophisticated portraits of the bride, using accessories such as her bouquet, veil or jewelery and some of the groom with his bestmen. Profile images and three-quarter views are hugely popular, but you may want to experiment with a few ideas of your own and develop your own signature style.

The green screen and chroma key software are just two essential tools you need. The chroma key software allows you to add various effects to the image, darkening the bride's face, as if she were in shadow or enhancing colors in the image for a richer feel.
