Say…fabulous!
Years from now, you will recall that memorable day through the images of people’s expressions, their laughter, and even their tears. The details will make everything come to life. When you see a close up of your wedding cake or a snapshot of your beloved friends, each photo will evoke all the emotions connected to your wedding day. You can share it with friends and family; you can relive the moments with your children. Photographs bring you and your loved ones back to that day acting as a timeless memento.
The photographer’s role, therefore, is a very substantial one. This specialist must anticipate movement, capture emotions and be ever-present by following the sequence of events in order to record them as they occur. By reading the energy in the room, he will not only document your day, but create an album of lasting memories—no matter what style of photos you select. As you begin your research with photographers, ask questions and request to see samples of previous weddings they have shot. Call them and follow up with a visit in person. Some photographers have more of a traditional style and some take a more photojournalistic approach. If you prefer an artistic freestyle approach with spontaneous snapshots, be specific with your request. You might want to consider black and white photos or sepia—they add an interesting vintage feel to your wedding album.
