[S3/EP97] Real-Life Wedding Reflection #1

This episode reflects on one of my real-life weddings.

More specifically, these challenges were:Not having the opportunity to build a rapport with the couple and wedding party;Bride not being familiar with my documentation style;An extremely short ceremony time with no warning;Start...

[S3/EP96] In What Other Worlds Would Wedding Photography Be Acceptable?

I don’t know why more professional photographers don’t take a stand and speak out for photojournalistic wedding photography. It’s sad that more and more couples’ wedding days are being treated like a movie set, a Broadway play, or a styled shoot. Couples are not being permitted to just remember actual, organic memories that happened on their wedding days because THERE ARE NONE. Basically, every image captured during the day was just set up by the photographer to ensure that “they got the shot...

[S3/EP91] Examples of Obstacles You Put in Front of Your Photographer

A wedding photographer’s job shouldn’t be pinning on your groom’s boutonniere, lining up your wedding party for the procession, cueing the music for your grand entrance, showing you how to cut the cake, or rushing your hair and makeup artist so you get married on time. A wedding photographer’s job is to document these things as they happen either in order or in chaos. However, these are some of the positions we are put in on wedding days.

[S2/EP83] Documenting vs Controlling Your Wedding Day

Your wedding day is not a movie set; it isn’t a styled shoot and should never be treated as such by your photographer. Why is this important? Because you want to be able to reflect back fondly on your wedding day and remember authentic memories. NOT fabricated moments the photographer created for you. You don’t want to be directed through each tender moment of your day. You want them to happen organically and flow freely and then captured by your photographer, NOT controlled by your photograp...
