Wedding Photograpghy (P)

Wedding Photography

You want it to be and reflect the best day of your life, so its got to be right. But just what makes a good wedding photographer.

Why not just let Uncle Phil happily snap away?

I will look and see what I can find :

horrible curtain in frame and as shown the little bike

The low light I don't think adds anything to this photo

What is all this stuff behind her?

Another what with the mud in the shot? bottom corner

this one I don't think has the best composition. The clouds above them are to plain and the light just seems to be there... Just because you put it in b/w doesn't make it a good photo
 

Think this works I like how it takes your eye along to the couple... Maybe could be better

I like the lighting behind her and feel this works

Think this is a good example of light and shade composition good

Like this nature look and works good field of vision



This one I like... Both in focus and good colour. I feel this works! fov

 

This is the work of Eric Laurits. While I like the traditional wedding photo more that some of the more modern takes I did enjoy looking at his gallery.  http://www.ericlauritsweddings.com/

 

When looking up wedding Photographer I noticed examples of different photographers using a range of examples to describe they work....Or working as another specialist photography field.

I'm not sure I like the mist captured in this image? What and why is this?
 

 

Ok so as you can see a lot of different examples of good wedding photography and some not so great. I think to specialise in this area you would have to know what the clients expects..The settings, the time of day and year would have to be looked at. Probably the venue best looked at before the day!

Because of the nature of the day I don't think the photographer would use specialist lighting or fancy set ups! To edit and change the photos back at the office is something that must be done a lot. Having an online portfolio is also a good idea/a must in fact . The sites I visited I didn't really read to much on the photographer at first, I just looked at the work on the site..

With so much competition around to have an easy to access and up to date website is important. People want the big day to be documented forever, special something they can cherish for a long time (hopefully)
You know forever and ever.....til death blah blah blah.........
