Wedding photography is not just about capturing the big day; it’s an artistic process that goes from telling the love story, through the excitement of the big day, to creating everlasting memories. If your wedding is coming up, here are six essential things to know about wedding photography.
1. Finding the right style
Every wedding is unique, as is every photographer’s style. Find a photographer whose portfolio reflects the feelings and moods you want to capture.
2. Portfolio study
An overview of a photographer’s work is essential. This will not only help you to see what your skills are, but also what type of wedding you are comfortable with. The portfolio also reveals how the photographer works in light and shade, indoors and outdoors.
“Without you, our wedding would not have happened, so I can’t tell you how grateful we are. The many languages, the way we live our lives, has never for a minute caused you any problems, in fact when I hear my husband praise you and your French, I always say to myself, that’s the goal! You have accompanied us on our journey with amazing kindness and flexibility, THANK YOU!” – Bianka & Quentin
3. The importance of communication
Wedding photography is a personal matter. It’s important to communicate calmly with the photographer, as he or she is the one who will be closest to you on the wedding day, accompanying you throughout the day and capturing the moments.
4. Attention to detail
A good photographer’s eye is always alert. She not only notices the big moments, but also the little details: a gentle touch, a glimpse of a glance, or a hidden smile.
5. Relevant experience
Wedding photography can sometimes be challenging. Weather, technical difficulties or even human factors can create unexpected situations. An experienced photographer is not only technically skilled, but also able to adapt quickly and produce beautiful images despite the changes.
6. Rethinking the budget
Wedding photography is an investment in memories. A well thought-out budget is necessary, but keep in mind that the photos will still be able to evoke the magic of the day decades from now.
Above all, remember that the wedding photography is designed to capture the most wonderful moments of your day. These are the images that you will return to with fondness, even years later. Trust, expertise and compassion are the key words to look for when choosing the best wedding photographer.
