Unknown Contributor.(Metro WeddingsVolume 8 No.2 Special Double Couple Issue p.99) When you hire a photographer, make sure to sit down with him on what photos should take for your wedding. This way you can be assured of photos that will reflect the mood and ambiance of your wedding. You’ve worked so hard in planning this event, the only way to keep these memories intact are through videos and photos.

MY THOUGHTS: Wedding Photography is the photography of activities relating to weddings. It encompasses photographs of the couple before marriage (for announcements, portrait displays, or thank you cards) as well as coverage of the wedding and reception It is a major commercial endeavor that supports the bulk of the efforts for many photography studios or independent photographers (WIKIPEDIA).It also includes pre-nuptial photography as well as post-nuptial photography.
Photography is important in weddings and in any other events.Wedding photography is the best way to immortalize your special day aside from videography. Always have in mind that you only get one chance of capturing your wedding day, so it is wise to hire a professional wedding photographer for this vital task.
It is fine and normal to have family and friends bring a camera and take photos of their own during the wedding day, but at the end of the day having professional quality photos taken using professional equipments will produce results that you will be able to treasure for a long time and even share with future generations.
When it comes to wedding photography it is important to choose the best photographer for your wedding. Photographers are individuals just like everyone else. Every couple has their own style, and financial capabilities. Choose wedding photographers that suits your taste, preference and budget but not affecting the quality of output or pictures.
There are lot of photographers that offers wedding photography. A referral from the past brides will help you,or check local photographers who have websites or online portfolios before meeting them up.Be Honest.
Establishing friendly relationship or rapport with your wedding photographer is important to bring out what you want and keep away inhibitions. Couple should establish a fine compatibility and an unenclosed working relation with your selected photographer and jointly with his character and attainments, you will both get the wonderful output that you want.
“High quality output is the most important thing to me" ,according to Lee Llamas- one of the top wedding photographers of the country today. Verily, high quality output is the result of high quality equipments or with better resolutions. Remember that more pixels means more resolution, which should mean more detail, which should yield a better picture.
