Technology and Wedding Photography

Having just taken delivery of a lovely new Canon 5D mk2 I am very keen to put it through it’s paces at a wedding. However, I sit here and ask myself who are all those extra megapixels for? Would a Bride (or Groom) notice the difference if their wedding day was photographed using an 8 Megapixel camera as opposed to my new 21 Megapixel one? The answer is probably not. Many of the albums I show wedding customers contain images taken with lower specified older equipment. In their day though, they were cutting edge.

So what’s the point? As a wedding photographer I think there is a certain expectation or even assumption, by the Bride and Groom that the equipment used on their big day is up to date. By the same token, I believe the photographer has an obligation to provide the highest possible quality in terms of creativity and technical picture quality. If you were to ask a wedding photographer if they can see the difference between older technology and new I think most would say that they could and for me that is important. It gives me a certain level of confidence that I am providing my wedding customers with the best that is available.

Wedding photography is after all, about the quality of the final image and I think that current higher level digital cameras have much to offer in the hands of the right photographer.

Tips for the big Day

Wedding Photography Guide for Brides - Hair and Makeup

Your wedding day is not the right time to experiment with makeup and hairstyles. Be sure to plan a separate day to have a hair and makeup "dress rehearsal". If you plan to wear a headpiece, use this time to make sure that it will fit with your hairstyle. If you plan it right, your photographer may be available to take some formals on this day too.

Wedding Photography Guide for Brides - The Bouquet

How should you hold a bouquet? In a single word...DOWN!! Never hide your thousand dollar dress with a hundred dollar bouquet. If you are a five foot bride, do not order a 3 foot cascading bouquet. It's going to be a long day. By the end of the day, you will be wishing that your bouquet was smaller, lighter, more durable, and maybe even artificial. And if it's too big you may even injure your guests during the bouquet toss.

Wedding Photography Guide for Brides - The Pose

"Chin up, a little to the left, shoulders back, stand on one foot, hold your breath...hang on, don't move." Any photographer worth his salt should be able to pose you in an elegant and attractive position. Do you know the reason for all these the contortions? By lifting your chin you banish the double chin.

Holding your elbows away from your body reduces the apparent width of your torso and accentuates the bosom. Shifting your weight to your rear foot cocks your hips into a position that gives you a sexy curviness. There are many other little tricks your photographer may teach you. Just listen and he will not lead you astray.
