Ask Erena: UNDERWATER WEDDINGS

Hello guys and happy Sunday!

My post today is about very excited trend - underwater weddings and underwater photography.

Lots of couples these days choose to get married and or take some amazing underwater photographs. Sounds like a lot of fun, right?

Well, apparently it involves a lot of work and bravery.

There are different types of underwater photography: above water, underwater and a combination of both.

To conduct the ceremony underwater, you need to wear special equipment. You will be surrounded by all kinds of sea or ocean creatures:). Ceremony will be conducted in a form of reading signs. As long as you don’t have a panic attack, you will have memorable and unique experience.

If you decide to do some underwater photographs, you can dive into “real waters” or just do it in a swimming pool. Swimming pool feels like more safe place. So I did a little research about taking underwater pictures.

Obviously, it is a lot of work for a photographer: lots of extra light, special gear. But also, it is a challenge for a couple as well. Besides, obvious special makeup and hair products, you need to learn how to “sink” underwater. I have read a lot of atricles from the models who make their career taking photographs uderwater. In order to take those naturally looking pictures, you need to exhale before sinking under, keep you hands and legs elongated, and also try to move in a form of dancing. Your cloths will feel different too. And don’t forget those eye drops:).

In the end, it worth it. I wand to applaud those couples that decide to get married and to take pictures underwater and those photographers that make it happen. See it for yourself. Those photographs are true pieces of art.
