Your Ultimate Wedding Photography Guide
They are right in every respect.
After the ceremony, there is nothing to show that an event ever took place aside the photos.
For this reason, the photos would have to be as numerous as possible, as sharp as possible and as professional as possible.
You should consider a photojournalist over a photographer.
A photojournalist will take pictures of your wedding such that they tell a story.
He will carefully plan the shots so that when put together, it will tell the entire wedding story.
The photojournalist will know which, moments to capture, where to stand and how to follow events so they become narrative.
The photojournalist is not only interested in scheduled poses.
He is looking for moments that are magical, fairy like and reflect the emotions of the couple.
It could be a smile no one saw, a gesture or even a wave at someone.
These are thee vents that the couple would want to know after the vents.
It is advisable not to give your photographer strict guidelines as to who to photograph and who not to.
Give him the checklist for the official poses but give him free rein as well so he can capture moments that you have not anticipated at all.
Allow him to move trough the guests and capture their emotions, their thrill and joy at being present at your event.
To achieve these excellent results, you will need to get a skilled photographer.
Before you commit him to appointment, check his references.
Let him show you his previous shots and judge for yourself if they are good.
Inspect his appliances and his printing.
Are they sharp? Do they look professional? Lastly, do not pay in full.
Give him a deposit to commit him to appear.
