Your mind is now turning to how you are going to capture the big day photographically. Perhaps you’re considering asking your nephew to do it since he’s an amateur photographer.
That way you can save yourself some money, diverting the cash to other areas of your budget. This is a route that has been tried by many, but in truth has worked for very few.
A professional wedding photographer should take your photos
The benefits you get when you hire a photographer with significant experience of weddings are much greater than the monetary savings you’ll make when you get the photos taken for free.

The Photographerís Role
A professional wedding photographer in Bolnore-Village is far less likely to be distracted by situations of the day than a family member or relative. The role of the professional photographer is very clearly defined, whereas a family member will likely want to get involved in the celebrations where possible.
They wonít miss important shots while eating a slice of cake, drinking alcohol or chit chatting with relatives. They will be concentrating on the job of getting the best possible pictures they can for your wedding.
Wedding guests are also far more likely to respond to a professional, paid wedding photographer than they would be to a relative barking orders. Photoshoots taken by a relative tend to be less organised and taken less seriously than those arranged by professionals.
Skill with Different Styles of Photography
In order to get a specific photographic style, you need a professional photographer whose style matches what youíre looking for. How many amateurs do you think are even aware of the differences between fine art, contemporary, traditional, or photojournalistic photography styles?
Can they deliver what you want the way you want it? Quite often, they will not be able to. Take some time to consider what you want and then ensure that the photographer you use is able to capture the style that you want. Choose a professional who can immediately understand your style ideas when you explain them.
A Great Communicator and Reliable, too
There are still even more reasons why you should choose a professional photographer in Bolnore-Village over an enthusiast or amateur friend or relative.

A Professional Attitude and Good Time Keeping
Professionalism comes naturally if you hire someone based on their reputation and passion. Your wedding photographer should be punctual, personable and on time for your wedding schedule, as well as dressed appropriately. Your photographer should arrive early on the day, to scout the location having probably visited relevant locations several times already.
Rehearsing for the Wedding Day (The day before)
It is customary for church wedding ceremonies to have a rehearsal a few days before the big day. The wedding photographer ask to come to the wedding day rehearsal to scout the location and to find out from the Vicar where they should be standing throughout the service. This discussion normally happens on the day of the wedding in Bolnore-Village, with the registrar, in the case of a civil ceremony.
Wedding Day (The big day)
Your photographer will be there to take pictures of bridal presentations, or at whatever time you have agreed beforehand. He will stay with you for the entire day and will mirror you through the day without interrupting. Jeff Woodall photographyís ethos is to be very subtle, at staying in the background without interrupting the day, but being available to keep spirits high and answer any difficult questions, making sure that every single memory is captured in digital format. Jeff Woodall photography will be poised to capture all of the beautiful moments through the day, without intruding in any way.
At a certain time in the evening, usually after the first dance, your photographer will approach you to see if thereís anything else you would like him to capture.

Jeff Woodall photography backs up all wedding pictures captured on the day to separate hard drives and then keeps them safe in a permanent backup until the end of the editing stage and provided to you.

Editing is a crucial stage in the wedding photography process and will be completed within the days that follow the event in Bolnore-Village. At the start of the editing stage, the photos need to be sifted through so that the best ones can be selected. A light edit is carried out on the images to ensure that it is subtle and natural.

How many hours of shooting in Bolnore-Village
Photographers will normally price up based on the likely time involved. Each wedding is individual, with exact timings that differ and ad hoc things that happened during the day and so we work a little differently on wedding packages in order to remain flexible.
Photographers often [I used to] have different packages in Bolnore-Village i.e. ëPlatinumí, ëGoldí, ëSilverí, ëBronzeí, etc. This way of doing things can get over complicated and even more so when additional options and extras are added to the mix. I find it works better to have a set price for a full day’s coverage. Obviously, I’m not going to give hours of my time for free, but I’m happy to arrive early to get some shots, or stay after the first dance if there’s extra photos that need to be captured. Travelling to and accommodation at weddings. If there is travel involved to the wedding ceremony there would need to be some negotiation over the expenses involved in terms of accommodation, fuel or flights, food and refreshments.

Some of the differences between wedding styles explained
Fine Art Photography
Similar to photojournalistic photography, fine art photographers rarely take traditional shots. Rather, they photograph with an appreciation for the artistic side of people, the lighting options and the overall drama of the scene. Typically, a fine art photographer in Bolnore-Village is highly skilled at creating and staging photos that are artistic and beautifully full of drama, applying filters to photos during editing, including often using monochrome conversions.
Vintage Style Photography
This style of photography was borne partly from the popularity of vintage photo filters. The market for couples who want vintage style weddings and photography has become quite large. This style of photography can bring with it an ageless, timeless quality and has the power to stir emotions and maybe this is why more and more people are seeing the appeal in it. The use of colour filters and lighting can help to transform images into works of art during the process of capturing images of a vintage theme in Bolnore-Village.
Traditional or Classical
In traditional or classical photography, each moment is captured as if it staged and a portrait, rather than spontaneous and ad hoc as they might seem. This won’t make the photograph appear forced or posed, but it’s likely that few spontaneous ëaction shotsí will be included in the mix. Traditional photographers are likely to want to record of the formalities of the wedding ceremony and to portray the dignity and meaning of the ceremony, with subtle lighting.
Photojournalistic or Reportage
Similar to a documentary style, photojournalism photography is about recording the event, rather than orchestrating them. Group shots will be taken as required, as well as candid and spontaneous images. There are few formal ëgrip and griní roundups and guests smiling for the shot. The photojournalistic wedding photographer tells the story of the day, using a mix of close-up and candid shots, showing spontaneous reaction and recording the atmosphere of the event , rather than orchestrating the scenes.
Black and White (Monochrome)
This style is excellent for timeless, classical, emotion-packed photographs. Black-and-white photos are appreciated by many for their ability to enhance the mood and atmosphere of the scene being depicted. Everyone has a different preference. Monochrome images aren’t always liked by everybody, but using this style can really draw attention to particular aspects of the sceneís composition and subject matter. The extra contrast of black and monochrome images can really evoke a certain atmosphere that colour sometimes simply cannot.
Colour Popped and HDR Techniques
This area of photography requires skill in techniques that involve shooting with a lot of attention to detail and the post processing becomes a little more complex too. The photographer that uses HDR and colour popped techniques will use them sparingly, only with the right images, to maximise the impact of those colour popped or high dynamic scenes.
