Things To Keep In Mind Before You Dive In For Underwater Wedding Proposal Photos!
As interesting it may seem, but before you decide to plunge into the water with your loved these are some facts that you need to keep in place to make the most out of the shoot. After all, safety and caution will secure the success of the whole ordeal. So, let’s get started.
Get Certified
It would be very helpful if as a couple you have some sort of predilection or affinity with diving. This will help you to get familiar with air sharing, the buddy diving system and using compressed air to stay underwater longer very easily before the shoot begins. If you however, you’re not familiar with such practices then it is always advisable to go through an orientation course and warm-up sessions in the pool.
Rehearse Your Poses
The most difficult part in underwater shoot is pulling of the facial expressions while underwater. The first step is to try and relax. Then the next step would be to try and open your eyes underwater. Practically, this becomes much harder in swimming pools, due to the chlorine in them, which is why we at Aqua Venture prefer deep-sea diving.
Clear skies, Great photos
It is always advisable to avoid the monsoon season, and pray for sunlight at it warms the water and makes it more comfortable for the shoot. Ideally in such ideal waters, couples can spend up to eight hours posing for pictures.
Go For Floating Outfits
Another important tip is to go for comfy and floating outfits. Lightweight fabrics like chiffon and organza gracefully flow in the water. Light silk is good, too, but dyed silks can lose some color underwater. Hence, its best to avoid them in underwater shoots.
Plan Good Breaks
Make sure to prepare lots of towels and hot drinks for when you surface for breaks. Things can get chilly after you come up the surface so these supplies can come real handy at that time.
Pick Your Body Of Water
Last but certainly not the least is that you need to decide the body of water. Do you want to propose in the ocean, or would you rather swim with the dolphins in an aquarium? No matter what you decide, pick a body of water that’s clear, blue, and reflective. Not only will your photography be beautiful and rejuvenating, but you won’t have to worry about what’s swimming along your feet.
