Documentary Wedding Photography - priorities Â
Wedding photographers talk about light - a lot! Find the light, sunset, golden hour, blue hour, beautiful light ya de ya ya. Â Apparently light is the number one priority when it comes to beautiful pictures.
As a documentary wedding photographer I have a different priority, something much more important - a moment. I hunt them, theyâre all I care about, above anything else because moments are about people, moments make the story of a wedding and the story of a wedding is what Iâm there to tell.
You arenât going to look back on your pictures with fond memories and say âawww just look at that light there, that was pretty specialâ, what you do want to do is look back on your wedding pictures and say âOMG we had an amazing dayâ, every picture I take is about moments, the people that made your day what it was and the pictures showing who they are.
Moments, thatâs what your day is about and thatâs what the pictures of your day will show.
Awful light meh, nice moment đ¤
