The new wave in photography…
The New look of Wedding Photography
look at me...
. . .
Over the past years there have been amazing changes in wedding photography, which is good news to anyone who is currently looking for a photographer to shot there wedding. The new trend is towards, more contemporary look of wedding photography. More relaxed, natural and artistic than ever. Far gone are the old, forced look , unnatural looking poses . Today’s couples are much more educated on photography and don’t want the old, stuffy styles of photography that their parents had.
Besides looking more real, how is it different that traditional photography? Contemporary photographers know that today’s couples want to enjoy their wedding day and have fun. Couples spend so much money & time planning for there wedding day. It does not make sense to miss a hours of your wedding, being bossed around by a photographer who makes them maintain rigid and uncomfortable poses of you. A lot of wedding photographers now offer a “photojournalistic” style , where the day is recorded just the way it happens and unfolds.
The photos tell the story of your wedding day. No posing, taking time away from the party,just real & natural, artistic and beautiful shots that capture the events and moods of your wedding day. Well what about the family & group shots? Many of these photographers will take these group shots before or maybe after the ceremony, taking less time than photographers of the past so you can get on with your day and not miss out on the real fun of the party. Make sure you ask this question before you book your photographer if family and group shots are important to you.We leave up to the bride and groom as it depends if they want to see other other before the wedding.
Black & white photography is also really popular, but is it a trend? A lot of modern day couples are requesting to have their photography fully or partially in black & white. There is just something about black & white. It has a very classie, timeless and artistic look to it. It has a mood all to its self . It lends itself very well to the photojournalistic style. I would say that this trend is probably here to stay for a while.
Black & white has been around a long time. Go to any photography gallery and you will see that most of what you see is in black and white. It is now, and always will be, a classic form of photography. It is always nice to have a combination of both color and black & white. Also sepia has a nice warm inviting feel to the photo, if it is done right.
Do all wedding photographers photograph in this style? Well No, there are still some of the traditional photographers out there who have not changed. When you are interviewing photographers, ask them if they specialize in a photojournalistic style of photography, or if they do a combination of both traditional & photojournalistic shooting styles. Make sure you see samples of work from the specific photographer who is going to photograph your wedding, not just samples from a studio that may send out a different photographer. Consider not only the style of different photographers, but also the personality and choose the one that you feel the most comfortable with. Let’s face it,( and we have talk about bed side manner before and how important it is) the wedding you are spending so much time planning is only going to last a few short hours. The music will stop, the food will be eaten, and the flowers die, but all you will have is those photos to remember your wedding day Along with your now husband. And that is why it is so important to find a great photographer who will give you artistic pictures you will love forever.
Well hope this helps and as always we like your feed back keep it coming, thanks…
Looking good...
