Whether or not you are familiar with different photography techniques or claim to be a photography critic, your wedding album is the one item that will stay with you, after the flowers have been thrown, you are back home, these will stay with you keeping the memories alive. They are also very important to the loved ones that could not make it to your wedding.

There are different styles and effects used in wedding photography that you should familiarize yourself with before making a choice of which photographer to use at your wedding:

• Traditional photography, these capture that traditional family line ups, posed images and cover the ceremony and reception in quite a formal style.

• Reportage photography, a growing trend amongst young couples is to ask the photographer to almost “disappear”, he takes natural shots and looks at your wedding through an almost “journalistic” eye. He captures the events of the day; I always feel that these images capture much more emotion than the traditional ones.

• A mix of both the above styles, this is perhaps the best option to go for, as you will have all the traditional posed family photographs, as well as natural ones. Some photographers will not or cannot offer both styles, so you may need to book two photographers to achieve the result that you really want.

 

Once you have decided on the photographer that you would like to book, you should consider the following options when booking them:

• Print effects, do you want all color images or a mixture of black and white, color and sepia?

• How many printed images do you want?

• Do you want to choose the images and album?

• Do you want the negatives of the images for future reprints?

• What size printed images would you prefer?

• Do you want to choose some images to be printed to a larger size or perhaps on a canvas?

• Do you want to choose some images to be retouched before printing them?

All photographers that I use for SP Weddings are featured on the WPJA website, which is the worldwide wedding photo journalism association.

Annie is a lovely person and gives off a really positive aura; she can easily blend into the background and take pictures without you even knowing that she is there. She has a talent for producing natural, yet romantic images and I love her work in black & white.
