Wedding Photography Is A Practice Of Rhythmic Breathing

By Scott Murray


They say a picture is worth a thousand words and this is especially true for capturing moments on your big day. Good wedding photography will ensure that those who were not able to attend your wedding will be able to experience the special moments from this day as though they were there. Also, that you will be able to remember, what is arguably the most important day of your life, for years to come and so now is the time for rhythmic breathing.

Before deciding on a photographer, do some research, take a look at example, see what you like and decide if you want your photos to match the theme of your wedding (if you have one). Perhaps you would like the services of a videographer to create movie magic of your special day.

Firstly, you need to decide on a photography style. Not all photos are created equal. Do you envisage a vintage-style wedding album display? Or do you want something a little more modern and edgy? Perhaps you want to capture your big day documentary style?

After the research, organise to meet up with the prospective photographers for an interview. This will ensure that you get a feel for the artist and their craft. Do not hesitate to take a look at their portfolio, be critical when looking through the portfolio for how moments have been captured and which moments have been emphasised. When money is at stake the last thing any person wants to do is spend it without giving thought.

After doing your homework, it is time to set up interviews. You will want to get to know the person you are hiring. Also, ask them to show you full wedding albums which they have compiled. You should review these albums with a critical eye. Was the picture taker sensitive to key moments, such as when the bride and groom locked eyes for the first time?

Another crucial factor to consider is how well you bond with the picture taker. While this might seem an erroneous factor, when it comes to photography, the synergy between the photographer and the subject is of utmost importance. This will reflect the quality of some images taken.

Make sure you are aware of what you are signing up for. Often signing a contract with a photographer means you sign away the rights of those photographs over to them. Meaning it them will become their intellectual property which they can use as they see fit. There may be other legal restrictions on those photographs such as being unable to share those images on social media.

Then, before you sign any deal, check your rights. Most contracts state that the digital cameraman owns the rights to all the photos taken at the wedding. These include the ones taken of you. This means that the cameraman can use them in a promotional way and even in ads. Legal restrictions might also mean that you cannot just post the digital proofs the photographer sends to you onto media sharing platforms. Once you have settled this vital aspect of your wedding planning, you can breathe a sigh of relief knowing all of the other facets of the wedding which you have worked so hard to coordinate, will be captured with style and finesse and the money spent on your big day will be money well spent.
