Wedding Photography - Focus on Results!

I have noticed a recent trend in wedding photographer's web site attempts to clarify confusion over the different styles of wedding photography. New names have emerged for these styles: Documentary, illustrated, art, classic, contemporary, now known photojournalism and traditional course. Also, we now hear photographers talking at length about how they only shoot weddings using "available light" and promise not to use flash.

of other hot topic is a discussion about the benefits of different types of camera equipment: the benefits of full frame camera, or Nikon better than Canon, etc. Most of this information is released to supposedly help you razumijeteprednosti and disadvantages of these approaches. However, when you read further, you often see that it is leaning toward equipment or style used by a photographer. I recently read a web page where the photographer has warned readers to beware of wedding photographers who still shoot weddings using the traditional approach, because it obviously means that they are using outdated equipment. Huh? So what does all this mean? Answer: None

A few months ago I attended a seminar by one of the leading wedding photographers in the country. Her input on this subject was enlightening. Although she herself uses digital capture and a movie, it was stressed that what is really important is what it looks like photography. Do they have an impact? Do they tell the story of the day? She went on to say that she is growing tired of the other photographers are always asking her what kind of camera she uses or what are the advantages of digital over film, etc, etc. "Let's talk about the photos!" she exclaimed. She talked about how happy we are at this time have access to such great equipment and that even some of the lowest cost equipment can be used to make pretty pictures.

I could not agree more. Mine is that what really matters is the end result - your wedding album. 25 years after your wedding you are not going to care if your wedding photographer uses a $ 10,000 camera or a Kodak disposable camera. Will you remember, if you hired a photojournalist or illustrative photographer? Probably not. His photos that you will remember and cherish. I do use some of the most modern and up to date camera equipment, but I'm not obsessed with it. I spend more of their time trying to figure out how to make the most memorable and artistic images as possible. It can not be achieved simply going out and buying $ 1,800 lens that is so severe that virtually allows you to see the pores on your face. Sharp, high quality lenses are essential, but it is what a photographer working with them that matters. Find a photographer who says the pictures, not about how big his equipment is.

However, there are other important factors when choosing a wedding photographer. Developing rapport with your photographer is vital. rude or bossy photographer can ruin your wedding for both bride and groom. Look for the photographers you are comfortable talking to. Make sure that you can provide references and when to check references and ask how the photographer had behaved at the wedding. Is he or she spends a lot of time eating food and drinking? Is he or she agrees with the guests? Peaceful posture? Retiring? Obviously, you want to make sure the photos are great, but these other factors can make or break your wedding photography experience.
