You can save on a wedding banquet. On the cavalcade of cars or even uniforms. Cannot be saved on memories, slipping like water through the fingers. Who can be entrusted to wedding photography – to a lover, a professional or a staff photographer?
Photographer-Dobrovolets. Often a wedding photographer is elected from among those invited to a wedding on the principle of having their own photographic equipment. He is forced to be an unconscious – the newlyweds have hope for free photography – and ascetic – to eat, drink and indulge in wedding amusements to the photographer will have to be in a very limited format. The main advantage of a friend-photographer is that the newlyweds do not feel constrained in front of the lens, which does not prevent the photographic fan of the same time from clicking two hundreds of the same pictures, in which the bride can hardly be guessed only by a white dress, and guests are able to calculate each other in the photo only as a deductive method.
Photographer-Taper. He lies in wait for the newlyweds at the registry office, insists on his services at the sight of the camera, belligerently opposed to any person armed with a camera. The results of his works resemble the shooting of photos “on a passport”: dry, boring and better not to show anyone. In a string of “identical” newlyweds, a wedding photographer from the registry office is not able to get acquainted with the young, make contact or look for an approach to them. He always has the following in line.
Profi. To find it, the future newlywed will have to “hunt for the heads”, because the photographer’s time is expensive and scheduled for several months in advance. He will certainly make adjustments to the wedding route, make the groom dance Lezginka, the bride – to ride a scooter, and guests, regardless of his own desire, will take part in productions of varying degrees of theatricality. But the result of the tricks of a professional photographer justifies the need for “jerks and jumps” before the lens. The brightest events of the wedding (sometimes born of the fantasy of a photographer) turn into memories that store the saturation of shades – like a quality photo – decades – for decades.
How to choose a photographer? A professional is easily guessed by his portfolio. It contains a wedding photography in a large and middle plan, photographs printed in a professional photosalon play the brightness of colors and emotions, even if the photo is black and white. The album has reporting and staged personnel, with some predominance of the latest. If the portfolio has left you indifferent – the search continues. They continue even if the photographs are wonderful, and the photographer himself did not cause love at first sight.
