Wedding Photography

The wedding photographer has become an ubiquitous figure in weddings around the world. Across nearly every culture and national border their presence signals the importance of that day. Never to be forgotten and immortalized in print, wedding photographs are an essential component of one of the most life altering events. They aren’t just any photograph, they’re not simply snapshots of everyone’s faces and they don’t merely record a matrimonial moment.

The world is inundated with billions of superfluous amateur photographs, but the magic a professional photographer can bring to a scene as important as a wedding is unrivalled.

Styles of Photography

The photographic styles used to cover your wedding can vary from the very formal to the very informal (journalistic). You have the option of selecting the specific style or styles to be used in photographing your wedding. A word of warning: There are many photographers who promote the (journalistic) approach to wedding photography who do no more than take "snapshots".

Many photographers offer only one or two styles; whereas others offer you an extensive repertoire of wedding photography styles from which to choose. Each of the following styles involve a great deal of knowledge in blending the technical details of lighting and equipment with creativity and photographic artistry

How to Select a Wedding Photographer

When we're interviewing brides, we always ask the question "What are you looking for in a wedding photographer?"

The most common answer - "We don't know!"

Wedding photography is a mystery to most couples, because for most people we talk with, it's their first wedding. Sometimes mothers can give some insight, but for the most part, wedding photography has changed dramatically (and for the better) since the time this generation of parents were married. To badly paraphrase a now defunct car companies commercial "This is not your mothers wedding photography!"

Choosing your photographer is one of the major choices in designing your wedding. While good wedding photography is a major investment, is the

only part of your wedding budget that will continue to bring you enjoyment for the rest of your lives. And while the end product is important, so is the process; the experience of being photographed. No matter how good the photographs are, if all you remember when you look at them is a photographer with no people skills, who thinks it is his or her day, not yours, your investment is wasted.
