Traditional. Photojournalistic. Artistic. Traditional Posed photos are the essence. All photographs are typically in color and aided by flash. The Wedding Couple are posed with many groups of people. Many standard shots are made of the processional as the wedding party enters. Most creativity is in the posing and capturing of pleasant expressions from large groups at once. The story is largely told in a pre-arranged set of photographs picked from a planned menu.  After the ceremony, group shots usually take 30 to 45 minutes while guests wait for the reception to begin. Candid photos are primarily from the reception, such as the first dance, the father-daughter dance, cutting the cake, the toasts, kids playing, the bouquet toss, the garter toss, rice throwing and the departure in a car or limo. Events are often directed by the photographer to insure quality results. Most of the photographic challenge is in the posing, lighting and directing. Fifty shots or more are made per hour. At least 100 color 4x6 photos are delivered in the selection album. Roughly 75% are posed photos and ceremony shots with 25% consisting of reception shots. Flash is used to augment most photographs. Enlargements of up to 11x14 are always available. Back
