A wedding photographer is quite a specific profession.
It is one of the most important wedding professionals. How your wedding will be remembered, how your children and grandchildren will see it, depends, first of all, on the results of his work.

The white dress will be put away in a closet, the cake will be eaten in an hour during the banquet, the bouquet will be taken away by a happy girlfriend who caught it, and only wedding photos will remain with you as a memory of the brightest and most important day in your life.

And that these magical memories were kept in your family in the best quality, you need to be very careful in choosing a wedding photographer.

Not every photographer, even if he is engaged in photography for many years, can be a wedding photographer.

They say that in the circus, the most difficult profession is the clown. This is an artist who should not only make the audience laugh, but also be able to juggle, walk a tightrope, manipulate wild animals, do tricks, balance on one leg on a ball, soar under a dome, and much, much more …

A wedding photographer is just such a “clown” among photographers (in a good sense of the word, of course).

Modern photography is conventionally divided into many genres. And the difficulty of such a profession as a wedding photographer is the ability to work in almost every one of them.

Here are the basic genres that a wedding photographer should master:

  • Staged Photography. One of the most important skills for a wedding photographer is to be able to frame a beautiful shot. Many people participate in a photo shoot for the first time just at a wedding. They don’t know how to stand, where to look, what emotions to portray and where to put their hands. They do not know when to look at the camera, and when to look at each other, which perspective will be more advantageous for them.
  • Reportage photography. Some moments of a wedding day, such as registration at the registry office, do not lend themselves to any, even the slightest stage direction – everything goes strictly according to protocol. And the photographer must be able even in a situation that he can not influence in any way to make excellent emotional photos, choose the right angle, set the accents and remove from the frame everything superfluous.
  • Macro Photography. Details are a very important part of any wedding. It is they who create the atmosphere of the celebration, making it unique.
  • Interior photography. For wedding walks, ceremonies and banquets, newlyweds choose the most beautiful places: luxurious Wedding Palaces, restaurants with beautiful interiors, temples, museums, historical buildings. And, of course, the photographer should be able to convey to the picture all the beauty of the chosen place.
  • Landscape photography. It doesn’t matter when your wedding is – hot summer or freezing winter. A wedding photographer will be able to create the feeling that this time of year is perfect for the wedding.

But it is not enough for a good wedding photographer to be able to shoot in different genres. A wedding photographer is also a person of many professions.
