Wedding Photography and Videography

This is a question that every couple should ask. The more important factor to consider though, is quality not quantity. Anyone with a camera can take lots of pictures. What you want are great images that are well-composed and professionally edited. Amazing photos that capture the emotion of your wedding day.  A professional and experienced Wedding Photographer should take 100-150 shots per hour. The number of photos also depends on the number of hours booked and if there is a second shooter. Two photographers will capture the same moment at different angles. An example is the bride's aisle walk. It's a key wedding moment. One photographer will focus on the groom's expression as he sees his bride for the first time. While another photographer will focus on the bride as she walks toward the groom. There will be multiple shots capturing different moments and expressions. Getting-ready shots are a lot of fun. Sometimes it's the only down time a bride and groom w...

Tattoos seem to be everywhere these days. It's hard to find a modern pop star without one. Social acceptance has grown, and body art has become a form of self-expression. So it's not unusual for today's modern bride to find herself standing in front of a mirror in a Bridal Salon asking herself...should I cover my tattoos? or some? Or, I love them, so why not flaunt them. Tattoos are a work of art after all.  You may have a favorite aunt who is telling you that your tattoos will take away from your Wedding Gown and Bridal Bouquet. Or you'll look less elegant. Well think about this. Whether it's a petite design or a sleeve of artwork, tattoos really pop with a white Wedding Gown. And who's to say that flowers always have to be the centerpiece.  These two bold Brides embraced their ink. They chose strapless styles to show off their body art on their arms and chest. The silhouette of the gowns are unfussy and feminine. The first Bride wears  her long hair down ...

What's a Bride's number one fear about Planning an Outdoor Wedding? If you said rain, you are correct. So always have a backup plan with your Wedding Venue. Whether it's an indoor room, covered outdoor area or last minute tent set up. You don't want to be stressed because the day cannot go on as planned. They do say rain is good luck on your Wedding Day. A knot that gets wet, is very difficult to untie. So, if it rains on the day you "tie the knot", it will be just as hard to undo. Plus, there's not much you can do about it. The weather is out of your hands. So embrace it. In the grand scheme of life it's not that tragic.  Besides, misty and soft light make for dreamy and romantic photos. It's also a relief from bright sun and heat. Rain will cool the weather down. Your guests won't get overheated, and your wedding flowers won't wilt. And there is the possibility of a rainbow! Another sign of good luck. Erin and James chose T...

There are basically two styles of Wedding Photography - photojournalistic and traditional. The traditional style has been practiced for decades. They are usually classic portrait style, and posed photographs. They include group shots of the bride and groom with the wedding party, and various family members and friends. They are timeless. The photojournalistic style captures the action, true emotion and expressions as they unfold. They are candid. Often people are unaware they are being photographed.  So which style is best? Choose a photographer who recognizes the value of both styles. That way you avoid the disappointment that many couples feel months later. They didn't get a photo with a favorite aunt or uncle. A professional wedding photographer will put together a list of key shots. The photos that tell the story of the day. It's up to you and the groom to think about those extra shots you might want to add. Create a wedding photo checklist and gi...
