If you're a client or a prospective wedding client, this section might not mean the most to you - however, if you're a wedding photographer, this is what you probably came here to read!
Whether you're a Nikon photographer or a Canon photographer, the menu of your camera has settings for creating in-camera multiple exposures. While each menu system is a little different, a quick search through your manual will lead you precisely where you need to go. Just make sure that you turn off the multiple exposure settings before continuing your coverage : you don't want all of the images from the wedding to be multiple exposures!
If you do a quick Google search, there are lots of ways to layer two images together (or more) in Photoshop to create a final multiple exposure. However, I never do that.
Why?
I want to make sure that I am creating my images in-camera. I want the final vision of my image to be one that I conceived of and executed on the wedding day, and it's important to me to have the skills to be able to create that in the original capture. It's not too difficult to open Photoshop and layer a silhouette with a "fun" background, but for me the "fun" is in finding those two elements on an actual wedding day!
