Your
Wedding Day is one of those “once in a lifetime” experiences that you want
captured by a Professional Wedding Photographer. A friend or family member may be a great
photographer, but a professional wedding photographer has the “eye” for those
special, one time only, moments.
If
there is ONE thing to consider
when looking for a professional wedding photographer, price is NOT an option. What you SHOULD be looking for in a professional wedding photographer is
the ability to capture this one moment for ever, in a way that you will enjoy
viewing those images for the rest of your life. For no matter how small or large your
wedding might be, you will remember absolutely NOTHING of your wedding, it will be a haze in your memory and the
ONLY reminder of that day will be
the beautiful images captured by your invaluable professional wedding
photographer. You will treasure these
wedding photos for years. You will use
these images to recall those moments that you cannot remember. You will look at these wedding photos with
your grandchildren and you will reminisce about that wonderful day in your
life.
I use two styles when shooting a wedding. First, the TRADITIONAL
style. These are posed shots of the bride & groom, the wedding
party and of course family. I like to try and take some prior to the
ceremony and then the rest afterwards. Of course the bride doesn’t want
the groom to see her before the ceremony so I will usually get the bride and
her bridesmaids together and do their set up shots. Then, after shooing
them back out, get the groom with the groomsmen together for theirs.
That way, all you have left following the ceremony are the group shots and
family shots. You certainly don’t want to hold up your guests from
going to the reception. And by then, you’ll be ready to party
too. Second style is the PHOTOJOURNALIST style. These are taken
prior to the ceremony (bride with bridesmaid getting ready, groom with
groomsmen, etc), during the ceremony and of course during the
reception. They capture moments that can never be posed. Plus,
all this time I am shooting
digital. This enables me to do
some “special” things with digital images.
Change some to black and white, the old fashion “sepia tone” as well
as some “painting”. And I have
affordable packages to fit any size wedding.
I do book up to a
year ahead so make your appointment early!!
But,
I have one rule when it comes to shooting a wedding. What the bride
wants, the bride gets! This is YOUR day.
And I promise you I will make it a fun day!!
PHOTO TIPS
On the day of your wedding or if
shooting a model portfolio, DON’T
use any foundation or makeup that dries fast or says “won’t rub off on
clothes, him, etc.” Your face will wash out in your photographs from
the flash.
