Q&As

Dealing With Pressure

As an excellent wedding photographer is an investment for a couple who wants their special day captured in the best light. Consequently, a great deal of stress is placed on the photographer to perform at an exceedingly high level.
Photographers are expected to present their clients with striking photos that seem to float out of the screen and take on a life of their own. If something does go wrong, photographers must understand that there are no do-overs. Photographic skills and abilities are needed to deal with challenges in an extremely brief and high-pressure situation.

Delivering The Latest Look

I stay up to date on the latest trends in bridal hairstyles, cosmetics, and dresses. It's quite fine for couples to ask for the wedding gowns they saw in bridal magazines. Bridal magazines are constantly breaking new ground in exotic locations, expensive outfits, and dramatic and entertaining themes. There are a lot of distinct magazine-style images that clients are likely to request from a photographer.

Observing Carefully

Photographing a wedding requires the photographer to be on the lookout for the fleeting moments and unique facial expressions that are sure to occur. She is responsible for ensuring that they become a lovely part of the family's legacy. During a wedding, there will be a plethora of these memorable moments for photographers to capture. Because of her inexperience, the photographer will get better at anticipating the emotional outbursts of couples and their families as the event approaches.

Perfect Timing

If the photographer is unable to catch the moment, observation is of no service. As a result, photographers must be prepared and present at the right moment and place. In order for photographers to plan, they must know the event's timetable to the letter. I make I sure I have done my homework and are on time for your appointment. I make sure I have the correct equipment for the type of shot I need to take.

To be a good photographer, you must be able to respond quickly and not overthink your actions. Waiting too long means they will miss the opportunity. As a photographer, you must strive to catch the emotional high points of an individual's expressions or actions.

Seeing The Best In People

When it comes to photography, a great photographer has the capacity to bring out the best in everyone she encounters. Being able to pose and light subjects such that the greatest features of their faces may be revealed is an essential skill for a wedding photographer.
Photographers, particularly those shooting weddings, should endeavour to hide any flaws they see in their subjects. Photographers may be forced to use a documentary style of wedding photography if their clients prefer to chronicle the event as it happens rather than pose for posed portraits.

Telling The Story

Photographers document the newlyweds' love story by capturing images of their big day. They notice a trend and create an engaging story around it. After seeing the finished album, the customer should be able to recollect and connect with the event through images, recalling their experience and emotions.

Creativity And Imagination

It's nearly impossible to look back and smile warmly at wedding photos that weren't taken with a little flair. Wedding photography is an art, and the photographer is an artist, not just a guy with a camera. Professional wedding photographers use their imagination and remarkable ingenuity to bring everyday events to life.

An Eye For Detail

Photographing weddings is about snagging special moments everyone else might miss. A wedding photographer's job is to convert an average shot into a piece of beauty by paying attention to the smallest details. The photo must have all of the right components. Everything, from the subject matter to the lighting and composition, must be flawless.

Patience And Flexibility

Top wedding photographers know how valuable it is to have patience and flexibility on the day of the wedding. Even if things don't go as planned, a professional wedding photographer knows how to remain calm and confident in the face of adversity. To put it another way, a smart photographer will wait for the lighting to improve before going on and taking low-quality photos.

Social skills

Photographing weddings is a great opportunity to meet individuals from all walks of life. Even the most difficult subjects are no match for experienced wedding photographers. They must have excellent interpersonal skills that allow them to converse freely with the couple and others in the room.
Subjects respond better to a photographer who has good people skills and is able to put them at ease.

Passion

To be an excellent wedding photographer, you need to be passionate about what you are doing. All the above attributes will be activated if you have a burning desire to succeed. To be a successful wedding photographer, you need more than just technical expertise; you also need enthusiasm.
To be a successful photographer or videographer, one must possess incredible skill and aptitude. There aren't many people who can say that. Photography and videography enthusiasts can produce better images and provide better coverage of wedding festivities than those who view their employment as a chore that must be completed at all times. As a result, only the best wedding photographers and videographers will make it to the top of their game. So, if you're looking for a wedding photographer and videographer who truly enjoys what they do, look no further.

Detailed-Oriented

Every wedding photographer and videographer's responsibility is to pay attention to the smallest things during the reception. I pay close attention to the little things that add to the precious moments and memories that can be preserved. As a result, you should look for a photographer and videographer for your wedding who is meticulous and dedicated to their craft.

Tech-Savvy Person

Wedding photographers and videographers today need to be computer literate. When a wedding photographer or videographer has the most up-to-date equipment, tools, and software, as well as the correct knowledge and abilities, you can expect beautiful and unforgettable wedding photos and movies. As a result, it is possible to make high-quality photos by employing a person with the appropriate skill set and the most current technology.

Creativity

There are several advantages to hiring an experienced wedding photographer and filmmaker with a creative flair. You can rely on a creative person to assist you in getting the best possible images and movies that will be remembered for a long time. Your wedding photography destination doesn't have to be far or unusual to obtain the best results from a creative wedding photographer.

Everything - You will never work harder or longer or be more creative than when you have yourself as a boss. I’ve been shooting professionally for 20 years, and I still get a thrill when a client calls. It’s not the first booking that counts; it’s the second. I am proud and fortunate to be a award winning potographer. What I most love—and what I’ve always loved about being a photographer is that it gives me the tools and the keys to explore. I get to meet interesting people, from all walks of life, and get to make images that reveal their character. I get to be part of a very special occasion and I understand the importance of what I do.
The camera, and being a photographer, is my passport into the lives of others.
I have been in love with photography since a child.
Whatever you snap, becomes a reminder and a story of an event. It is a way of looking into the past and reliving the moments.
The thing I like the most about photography is, photography has a way of turning all your emotions up a notch, photography makes you feel more things, see more things, appreciate beauty better and most of all, your perspective changes, it grows in ways you can’t imagine.
FIND IT - LOVE IT - CLICK IT - LOVE IT AGAIN FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE
I also love the variety and the challenge inherent in photography. I’ve done this a lot of years, but it’s still nerve-wracking to be the person responsible for making amazing images on deadline for a client. You truly are only as good as your last image. Sharing the special moments with the wedding party. Co-ordinating the shoot is also very important. As a photographer, it is important to cover all aspects of the wedding. Natural and fun shots makes for great memories. Editing the shoot can also allow for great fun as one has the ability to perfect every image.

I could describe my childhood years as a creative dreamer and a quiet observer. I would find form in things like clouds and colour where no one else saw it, the domain of an imaginative child, so I was told.
My earliest memories are that of perfect images. I started my own wedding venue in 1996 and built it up from the ground. Today the venue is still a very successful business. Please follow the link below to view my business venue.

My heart has always belonged to photography, and I am at my happiest immersed in capturing magical moment as it plays itself out bringing them to life and showing their sheer perfection to my Lens.

Vast experience and an eye for the perfect shoots sets me apart. Great wedding photographers have a unique style and method to deliver amazing stills. They also use the best technology to bring unique experiences​. It takes a brave and confident photographer to cross boundaries and explore the world of tech in photography. I am a person at ease in social situations and whose character inspires trust. I have a keen attention to detail and are discreet in my behaviour. I am a award winning photographer with a a passion for what I do.

A wedding shoot has to be in the moment and it is therefore important that the photographer is present on the day from the start to end of all proceedings.
