Shoot Your Wedding: Choosing The Right Style of Photography
The style of your photographer does have some technical and procedural differencs in how your wedding is shot. The following tips should help you to decide which photographers that are compatible with you.
Level of Control
Traditional photographers and fashion style shooters do a fair amount of directing (you & your guests) in order to achieve their results. Photojournalist photographers tend to be less direct and more at a distance when they are shooting. This is a great alternative for couples who want to focus more on the day.
Quantity vs. Quality
The journalistic photographers will typically shoot thousands of photos and edit down to create a coherent and thoughtful story of your day. Traditional shooters will often spend more time per shot and so are more methodical in their shooting process. Their pace can be very different. In either case, it’s not quantity that matters but the quality of the final few (hundred?) delivered to you.
Your “Must Have” Shot List
If you have a super definite list of shots you cannot live without, you are probably are better off without a photojournalistic photographer. Their forte is to capture what is happening, and not a predetermined list you (or they) create. However, the traditionalists can be particularly comfortable with preplanned lists of ‘must have’ shots.
Post processing / manipulation
Be aware of a photographer’s manipulation style. Some photographers do minor edits, while some do extensive manipulation in order to achieve certain looks. Its essential to make sure the look of their photographs is consistent with their style.
