Undoubtedly a wedding is one of the most precious moments in a couple's life. Preserving it through photos is one way to keep the memories alive for a lifetime. There are a variety of options that today's brides and grooms can choose from when it comes to deciding the kind of photographs they want to have for one of the most important days of their lives.
Here is a guide in achieving the wedding photography of a couple's dreams:
1. Choosing the right photographer In order to select a wedding photographer, a couple must first decide on the picture style that they want.
Portrait photographers typically can take both formal and informal photos; however, they more than likely will concentrate on posed or formal photos as opposed to candid ones.
Photojournalists typically focus mainly on candid shots, not posed.
Hobbyist photographers are typically a friend or relative who would offer their service for a pretty low price. Unless they have taken wedding photos before you probably won't know what kinds of photos they will take and you do run the risk of having photos not turn out as well as what you would receive from a professional.
2. Finding the perfect camera Wedding photographers usually use two basic camera types: the 35mm and the medium format. The 35mm has the tendency to produce pictures that are a little grainy, but its usually only the photographer themselves that notice the difference.
3. Color or black and white photos? Color is what is typically used in wedding photos; however, black and white photos do lend a dramatic effect. Black and white photos will typically last longer than color photos, though color films capture the details of the event more appropriately. You can have your photos all taken in color and then converted into black and white once you have viewed the images.
4, Personality of the photographer Most couples want a photographer who can take great pictures but who is also friendly and sociable. Set an interview with the prospective photographer, and make sure to ask effective questions. Also, make sure to ask for references, and take a look at his previous work.
All these tips can help couples in getting those perfect pictures on their special day. Make sure that these pictures can be shown proudly to families and friends, and can be passed down to future generations.
