THE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER DEFINED


Wedding Photography


Wikipedia identifies portrait and wedding photography as one of five major commercial photography specializations, defined as: “photographs made and sold directly to the end user of the images”. Traditional wedding photography includes a mix of both indoor, outdoor and studio portraiture, with a focus on posed shots of the bride, groom and wedding guests.

Wedding photojournalism is a recent alternative approach to traditional wedding photography wherein images are captured spontaneously to emphasize the moment and emotion. Wedding photography package prices increase incrementally based on the photographer’s experience, demand and work quality. Typically, these wedding photography packages cover the photographers time and often include (sometimes an option to purchase) the negatives or large digital files suitable for printing and enlarging.
