Photographer's tip: Photo session before registration

• There are six beautiful areas for a photo shoot in the Griboedovsky registry office: the main ceremony hall, the red waiting room, the green, peach and mirrored rooms, and the main staircase. In order to be on time everywhere, it is advisable to shoot as soon as the room is cleared of guests from other weddings. A photo session before the ceremony helps to relax and slightly reduce the natural anxiety that most brides and grooms experience while in the registry office.

Tip #2: Watch your posture while painting

• One of the most important wedding shots is the moment of painting in the central registry office of Moscow. Practice maintaining good posture in advance; this can be done by sitting sideways at your desk. Facial expressions are important and should be happy and content.

Central staircase

The main moment of the solemn registration of marriage is that the newlyweds listen to the solemn speech and give their consent to the marriage.

Tip #3: Enjoy the moment

• Try to feel the moment of registration, be aware of it - then a happy expression on faces will decorate you better than any Photoshop. This is the best thing you can do for beautiful photos and videos. You will look at these photos many times in your future family life. First, together, then with the children, and then you will show it to your grandchildren. You can think about this, for example.

Tip #4: Exchange rings

Registration hall of the Griboyedovsky Civil Registry Office

The most important room of the Palace is the place where the sacrament of marriage takes place. A solemn, upbeat atmosphere reigns in the hall. This is facilitated by the color design of the walls, half covered with carved natural wood from below and painted white on top, and the very filling of the interior. Elegant and comfortable furniture is displayed in which guests can sit; a special atmosphere is created by exquisite stucco molding, curtains and crystal chandeliers illuminating the room.

The ceremonial registration hall is quite well lit with soft daylight from a large window located in front of the newlyweds (during the registration ceremony). Although I mostly photograph in rooms with additional lighting, in this area of ​​the registry office I partially do without pulsed light.

Review

It was very easy and pleasant to work with Alexey from the first minutes of our meeting at the registry office. This is the main thing in order not to be squeezed and to feel as comfortable as possible. Our wedding photo shoot was easy and fun despite the cool weather. The photos were ready quite quickly. Also, on the recommendation of Alexey, she decided to use the services of hairdresser-stylist Regina. Special thanks to her! I recommend it to everyone! Alexey, I wish you creative growth and new inspirations! Thank you very much!…"

Hall of Mirrors

The Hall of Mirrors is unique in its kind. It is quite difficult to photograph in it, due to the inclusion of all people present in the room in the frame due to mirror reflections. Of course, there is a way out of this situation; guests, as a rule, are understanding and completely free this area for a little photography.

Along the walls there are mirrors the height of the entire room, interspersed with light orange panels decorated with an exquisite classic pattern. Crystal chandeliers hang from the ceiling. Along the entire perimeter there are comfortable chairs with soft upholstery and carved legs made of expensive wood. There are also several small tables on display. The peculiarity of this hall is a completely unique play of reflections of the walls, light and people present inside. Here you get special, light-filled wedding photographs - you just need to choose the appropriate angle, use the play of mirrors and wonderful antique-style decoration.

Nearest places for a photo shoot

The Griboyedov Palace is located in the center of Moscow, so the choice of places for a wedding walk and photography is quite large.

In sunny weather:

After registration, newlyweds often go to places: Zaryadye Park, Cathedral of Christ the Savior, Moscow City - here you can get great photos in sunny weather with a blue sky. Plans for shooting: architecture and the park part, the view from the Patriarchal Bridge to the Kremlin and the embankment of the Moscow River - all these are different locations allowing you to take many diverse beautiful shots.

In cloudy weather:

Among park places, the walking route is often built through Neskuchny Garden or Gorky Park. You can also take a wide variety of photographs here. You can go here both in sunny weather and when the sky is overcast.

In the rain:

If the weather forecast for your wedding day predicts rain, then it is better to plan an indoor location for the photo shoot. For example, paid places: Turandot restaurant, National Hotel, Baltschug Kempinski Hotel and others. There are also free places, for example GUM. If the weather temporarily clears, you can go out from GUM to Red Square and take interesting pictures there.
