Long
after your wedding is over, one of the few things you
will have to relive your wedding day, are your
photographs. A skilled photographer preserves moments
you will not even remember by the time you return from
your honeymoon. The question is not whether to have
your wedding professionally photographed, but how to
find the photographer who will give you the images you
will cherish for decades to come. There are two main
classes of photographers, the traditional photographers
who shoot on film and nearly every shot is posed, and
the modern photojournalists, who usually shoot digital
and most images are candid. Couples usually choose a
photographer who is somewhere in the middle.
Wedding photography in the 21st century, is nothing like
it was just five years ago. This is due to the use of
professional digital cameras for wedding photography.
In the past, the majority of professional wedding
photographers used medium format film. At that time, it
was the best way to capture high-quality images. Medium
format film negatives are larger than 35mm negatives and
produce a sharper image. Since then, professional
digital cameras have surpassed film in image quality.
Almost every image in this magazine is from a digital
camera. With digital photography, you have several
unique ways to show off your wedding photographs, such
as a DVD sideshow or a Wedding Story Montage album. |
