Black and White Photography
Non-colour photography is chosen by brides and grooms to create a classic, timeless effect.
Will says: “Black and white photography is great for enhancing the mood of an image, or bringing particular interest to the use of light and composition. Truly timeless, black and white is a better choice for mixed or poor lighting conditions and it can be less distracting, making the happy couple the absolute focus of the shot.”
Colour Photography
Brings your photos to life and is at its best for vibrant spring and summer weddings with lots of natural light and bright colour schemes.
Will says: “Colour brings an extra element to light and shape. If used correctly it can be a tool for isolating or bringing a particular subject into focus. Colour images can grab your attention, speaking volumes whether the colour on your wedding day is subtle or shouting, vibrant or saturated.”
Formal/Traditional Photography
The most common type of wedding photography, your photographer will capture the key points of the day — like signing the register and cutting the cake — as well as taking staged/directed shots of you and your guests.
Will says: “Wedding Photography has changed so much over the last 50 years, but formal photographs still have their place. As well as being the best way to present the important guests in their best dress, it’s also a great opportunity to get lasting pictures of family and friends together.”
Portraits
Portraits are close up or full length photos that focus on one person, or the happy couple.
Will says: “Portraits are often the images that end up on the wall. At a wedding, a brief portrait session is a chance for the bride and groom to escape the wedding party and the photographer can capture their first real moments of marriage. The couple can relax whilst the photographer has a little more time to consider and control the background and composition.”
