One of the questions I get asked frequently, especially concerning Wedding Photography, is "what is your style"? I have been thinking about that recently and it seems to me that we have lost a little bit of the true meaning of style in photography. Most people ask this question because they hear so many photographers saying they have a photo-journalistic style or a fine art style or a romantic style. This is an important thing to know about your photographer before you hire them to create images during one of the biggest days of your life. However, I am not sure that many people really understand what is meant by these terms.
While, I do like to capture spontaneous images of my clients on their wedding day, I do not consider myself a photo-journalist. I am there to capture the beauty and romance of the event. I want to create a group of images that tells a story and that our couples will cherish for a lifetime. I am not there to cover the event as a news article. And while I am likely to capture several fine art images and still life photos during the course of the day, I am not there to create a showcase of images to be hung in a gallery or on a magazine cover.
To me, wedding photography is about capturing the beauty, excitement, romance, and fun of the event in a manner that reminds the client of all of these emotions when they look at these images many years after the event. Photography is about capturing light, not about special effects. Portraiture is about real people in real life, and it is not artificial. Great photography is not only about capturing the moment, but capturing capturing that moment in the best light, from the best angle with the best composition.
My "style" is finding the best blend of romance and reality to fit the desires of the client. At the end of the day, they are what really matters anyway. |

With the way the economy is these days, everyone is looking for ways to save money. This is true even for those who are planning a wedding. Weddings can become very expensive, very fast, if you aren't careful. Wedding photographers have definitely felt the impact of this economy. Many brides are hiring the least expensive photographer they can find. This can seem like a great savings when they are planning the wedding, but it can come back to haunt them at a later date.
I just read a blog post that reminded me of that fact.
The choice between hiring a good photographer and a cheap one can be difficult decision, but it can be made easier if you just consider a couple of things. Most photographers are willing to work with their clients on what they offer. Consider buying a smaller package with fewer "bells and whistles". This can be a great way to save money, yet still get quality photographs of your special day. You could also consider choosing a less time-intensive coverage, having the photographer cover just the most meaningful moments.
Depending on the photographer, there may be other options available. Don't be afraid to tell your photographer your situation, your budget, your goals for the wedding. Many good photographers will be willing to help you achieve the best coverage they offer withing your budget. Be open and communicate. It really does work! |

I just returned from the Imaging USA show in Nashville and it was great. There were a ton of photo labs, vendors and dealers there for just about any photographic product you could ever imagine ( and even some you couldn't imagine). You can have a portrait or wedding image printed on just about anything from coffee mugs to throw rugs. If a picture is worth a thousand words, this place spoke volumes.
The problem with all of this, in my opinion, is that while these products are very high on the "cool" factor, they do not always lend themselves to the best use of an image. Don't get me wrong, the images I saw were beautiful, but were they really showing the subject or just showing off? Also, how many of them were real and true and authentic? Many of the images were obviously done using a professional model in a session that was designed with one intention; get good promotional images.
I can't vouch for everyone, but I want a photograph that tells something about the subject, not some glitzy, over-produced caricature printed on a piece of stainless steel. I know that I am a bit old school in my thought, but I think that many people want something more. They want something honest. They want something that a portrait that people look at and say "You look great" and not "what a cool frame".
Our goal at LHS is to offer our customers something with character and substance with beautiful lighting without relying completely on the latest PhotoShop plug-in to create something different. If you are growing tired of all of the gimmicks and glitz, I invite you to contact us for your next portrait session. I believe you will be glad that you did. |
