Photographer
Your wedding photographs will need to capture the
feelings, expressions and moments of your special day. They will bring
your years of pleasure, so select you professional
photographer carefully.
Most good photographers are in demand,
especially in summer months, so start interviewing them as early as
possible.
TRENDS IN PHOTOGRAPHY
- Before or After
- Couples choose to have most of their
formal wedding pictures taken before the ceremony. This
prevents the photographer from having to rush, and the guest
from having to wait for the bride and groom. Hair and makeup are
fresh.
- Black and White Photos:
- Couples are choosing to have photographs
shot in both color and black and white. Black and white is an
old classic look but its popularity is still popular. .
- Still Photographs
- Another popular trend is to edit still
photos into the video of the couple, as babies, or photos of
special moments they have shared.
- High Quality
- The trend is toward high quality videos,
shot with two cameras and post-edited with graphics, music and
titles. High-band wireless microphones are used to capture
good, clear sound, with ease of movement.

planned?

will you need to allow for the formal wedding photos taken
before the ceremony?

photo package prices?

individual picture prices?

time, location and appropriate dress to be worn
