Digital Wedding Photography Basics

Thursday, April 22nd, 2010

Professional wedding photographers constantly dispute the merits of digital photography versus the more standard film photography. This is a natural debate as our world becomes more digitized. Most people have or can borrow a digital camera. These types of cameras can do much more than a standard film camera. When the time comes to decide on our wedding photography, it is only natural that we would consider digital wedding photography.

Digital cameras have enjoyed improved quality over the past several years. Rather than the traditional 35mm camera, there are more options available for professional wedding photographers. They are willing to take a chance with new technology. Digital wedding photography is gaining credibility among professional photographers and, in time. many people will not be able to tell the difference between traditional and digital wedding photos.

In a majority of instances, digital cameras provide many notable benefits. Utilizing a digital camera gives the photographer the added advantage of immediate feedback. This would allow him to take more difficult shots or shots that may not turn out very well as he could correct them later if need be. A wedding photographer needs to be prepared for the need to use ambient light in their pictures. The option of taking more shots is certainly another advantage. Also, the photographer can take as many pictures as they’d like; after all, you only have to buy a memory card once, whereas film needs to be replaced often.

Another major advantage of digital wedding photography is that all of the settings are internal. Changing film speeds or the roll of film is fast and easy; the photographer can make the necessary adjustments without interrupting anything.

A lot of newly married couples like to have a photo album as well as having their pictures available in a digital format. Moving digital photographs electronically is easier and cheaper than the alternative of scanning film photos. Also, digital photos are easily manipulated to suit the desires of the couple. For example, certain photos can be printed in black and white or sepia tones.

One of the main disadvantages to having digital photos taken at the wedding is that a lot of photographers are not completely aware of how to use the new styles. In a number of ways, digital photography and film photography differ greatly, and even the most gifted and skilled wedding photographers are not at the top of their game when it comes to digital photography. When making a decision on a digital wedding photographer, you should always find out how long the photographer has been practicing digital photography. Also ask to see copies of both his film work and his digital work for comparison purposes.

It is obvious that digital wedding photography is turning into a more in-demand option for both professional wedding photographers and couples as well. Still, your choice depends on your own situation. Even though cameras are “point-and-click,” any photographer you decide on should have a certain skill level. Our personal digital cameras provide extra features and enhanced functions that are sure to please the majority of the population who owns or is in the market for a new digital camera. You should view as many portfolios as possible. To determine what works best for you, try both digital and traditional film.

The Basics of Wedding Decorations

Friday, April 9th, 2010

Gorgeous and stylish wedding decorations are often the centerpiece of the wedding ceremony and reception, and can change the mood in any setting. Themed wedding decorations set the stage for your wedding theme, and can be used in many areas of your ceremony and reception locations. Common places to decorate for your wedding in an indoor and outdoor environment are:

At the Ceremony:

The Entrance or doorway (includes arches for outdoor gazebos and garden weddings)
Pews, chairs and Altars
Inside walls, or the first adjoining rooms from the entrance.
The area around the Guest Registry
Pathways and important wedding party vehicles

The Reception:

Outer door entrance
First entrance room
Tables – head table, food tables (buffet)
Walls
Wedding Cake (cake topper)
Ceilings

Since wedding ceremonies and receptions can pretty much happen anywhere that the couple choose, wedding decorations can apply based upon the theme you may choose. Decorating for your traditional wedding may mean beautiful pure white candles, fresh flower arrangements, embroidered cloth napkins. Planning to decorate for a fall wedding? This might mean pumpkins, preserves, ‘hanging harvests’, grape vines strewn with gold and red colored leaves. Mood and setting will really influence where and how you decorate. See the room in the ‘whole picture’ and think of the theme or feelings conveyed – do these match the same traits in the bride and groom?

Always remember your timeline. Since the wedding party is usually the biggest part of the decorating (unless you are using a wedding planner /coordinator) they must have a set plan for placing wedding decorations and taking them down. Often (especially in the case of a formal wedding such as a church) the wedding decorations must go up shortly before the wedding and are taken down immediately after. Think about the following details which will help you complete your decoration:

Colors and wedding theme, time of day of the wedding ceremony, location of the event, temperament of the bride and groom, feasibility and cost of design of decorating (budget), space to decorate and the total number of people attending.
