Your Portfolio
Most of the collection of photographs after your wedding will be a treasured reminder of a great day I’m sure. But take a look at what your photographer is committing to before you make the booking, and pay particular attention to the amount of photographs you will be supplied. Quality in a smaller collection will be valued far more than quantity. A reduced collection of carefully executed photographs, along with a relevant edit and then the manipulation of that collection will bring you far more joy than a larger collection made of many photographs of much the same photographs you would see in any other collection of wedding photographs.
What you really need is originality. Once you have found someone who stands out, then assess the style to see whether they connect with your vision of how you want your wedding day to be presented. I always imagine my wedding photographs as being something where I could print twenty or thirty incredible photographs, rather than one hundred or so, of things you would see in every other wedding photography collection. Sure, you want photographs of the details of your wedding, but commission a photographer who will capture the bouquet, personalised to your wedding rather than get the standard shot of it on a wall or badly placed somewhere, which doesn’t make any connection to you or your day.
A different vision or perspective from a photographer is what you should aim to commission. Many photographers will use the time spent well with solely the bride and groom. Looking at the venue beforehand and preparing the environments to create a strong style, in addition to the more candid photographs.
Taking inspiration from our fashion shoots, we aim to supply a small amount of photographs using studio lighting in the chosen wedding environment to give an editorial feel, from dedicated time. We believe that these photographs, in-particular, set photographers’ styles apart, and should be given dedicated time during the day to obtain a valued collection which will be cherished after the event.
