Undoubtedly a wedding is one of the most precious moments in a couple’s life. Preserving it through photos is one way to keep the memories alive for a lifetime. There are a variety of options that today’s brides and grooms can choose from when it comes to deciding the kind of photographs they want to have for one of the most important days of their lives.

Here is a guide in achieving the wedding photography of a couple’s dreams:

1. Choosing the right photographer In order to select a wedding photographer, a couple must first decide on the picture style that they want.

Portrait photographers typically can take both formal and informal photos; however, they more than likely will concentrate on posed or formal photos as opposed to candid ones.

Photojournalists take shots that are candid and not planned. This kind of photographer usually has experience in journalism photography.

You can also choose someone who is a hobbyist. These people may be a friend or relative who might offer their services for a pretty low price. Unfortunately with a hobbyist you won’t know the quality of their work unless they have already taken wedding photos and have a portfolio to show you. In this instance you do run the risk of having your photos not turn out as well as what you would receive from a professional.

2. Using the right camera Professional wedding photographers usually use two basic camera types: the 35mm and the medium format. 35mm cameras may produce pictures that are a little grainy, but its usually only the photographer themselves that notice the difference. They also could use digital technology, which is preferred as the photos are ready to view much sooner and digital technology often produces better results.

3. Color or black and white photos? Color is what is typically used in wedding photos; however, black and white photos do lend a dramatic effect. Black and white photos will typically last longer than color photos, though color films capture the details of the event more appropriately. You can have your photos all taken in color and then converted into black and white once you have viewed the images.

4, Personality of the photographer Most couples want a photographer who can take great pictures but who is also friendly and sociable. Interview your photographer candidates and make sure you can work together. You also want to ask for references and view his portfolio of work to make sure his standards meet yours.

Following these tips will help couples get the perfect photos to preserve the memories of their special day. Great photos can be showcased proudly and passed down to future generations to cherish.
