Why hire a professional photographer for your wedding?
The planning for your wedding day is probably almost done if your wedding is coming up soon. You’ve booked your caterer, cake and the venue. You’ve tried on and love your wedding dress and have chosen table decorations and flowers.
Your mind is now turning to how you are going to capture the big day photographically. Perhaps you are considering the option of asking a relative to bring their amateur photography skills to your wedding.
The money you save on the photographs could be used to cover other wedding expenses. This is definitely a path you should avoid.
A professional wedding photographer is likely to achieve a much higher quality result
It’s a much better idea to have a professional photographer get it right, than save some money and have an amateur photographer miss those important big and little details! There are dozens of special moments that happen on your wedding day and in a flash they’re gone and forgotten if not captured in your photos.
The benefits of having a professional wedding photographer
Having hired a professional wedding photographer in Warnham, you are assured of the highest quality images, created and edited using the best expertise, cameras and photo editing software.
A professional wedding photographer in Warnham will be able to take great pictures, using a combination of skill, the latest digital equipment and software, giving you a superb finished product.
The quality of the photographs is determined by far more than just the camera that is taking them. The advent of camera phones has for some become a tempting way to try and save money on wedding photography. This might be a huge mistake. Everyone desires photographs that are skillfully composed and expertly captured for their wedding day. We’ll take a more in depth look now at what you get when you hire a professional wedding photographer in Warnham, which adds that extra value and makes it worth your while.
Knowledge with the latest camera equipment and the use of it in varying situations. A photographerís resultant images will not be as impressive as they could be if they don’t have a variety of camera lenses and the knowledge and skills to use them, together with various lighting options. Professional wedding photographers have more photographic equipment in their armoury and also have more experience using different setups to capture stunning images. Experienced professionals can get the most out of a DSLR camera due to their experience and skill, although anyone can take a picture with one. The type of equipment used is crucial, but just as if not more important, is the person handling the equipment. What you need to get the best wedding photography experience is high end, appropriate camera equipment and a seasoned wedding photography professional who knows how to use it to its full potential. The lighting available at your venue, in the church and outside the church or in any other outdoor setting will vay markedly; it takes skill and appreciation to consistently take great photos in different lighting situations.

The Role the Photographer Plays
Another very good reason to engage the services of a professional wedding photographer in Warnham is that theyíre going to be far less likely to become distracted than a family member or relative charged with capturing the dayís event. When you pay a professional photographer, theyíre there to do a job, whereas a family member is more likely to be looking to enjoy the celebrations.
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. If a relative is trying to organise a photo session, it might end up far less organised than if a professional were doing it.
The Photographic Style
In order to attain photos with a specific style, you need to engage a professional wedding photographer with the style to match. The majority of amateur photographers would stare blankly if asked to tell you the difference between photojournalistic, traditional, fine art, or contemporary photographic styles.
Are you willing to gamble that theyíre able to produce the pictures that you will treasure? Often, they wonít be able to. Take a bit of time to understand what it is you want and then hire a photographer that can deliver that style. Once you have in mind what you want to achieve, hire a professional who gets it.
A Great Communicator and Reliable, too
A professional photographer is normally a much better choice than an amateur photographer or enthusiast and weíve already touched on a few other reasons so far. A professional photographer will have the experience to ensure that photo sessions remain within the schedule and do not detract from other parts of the day.
A professional will be able to carry the wedding party along and subtly communicate where your guests need to be. They have the experience to do so using body language, cues and verbally, without obstructing your guests, or spoiling the celebration of your big day in Warnham. Getting the perfect picture often involves striking a balance between being distant, but also being encouraging and supportive, humorous and amateurs rarely have the skills to do it.
You Get More with Professional Wedding Photographers
Of all the people around you on your wedding day, your wedding photographer will probably be with you most. The wedding photographer will take the initial shots during the day as you get ready and even travel to the church and will stay with you throughout the day and maybe until you leave for home or honeymoon.
Your wedding photographer is always near you, having been engaged to capture the emotion and style of your day in its entirety. If they know what theyíre doing, you wonít even notice them. Your photographer will ensure every shot is perfect and no detail is amiss, such as a lipstick stain on the teeth, or button holes that are wonky.
They are there to help you get the best pictures and will try and fix anything that is in the way of that goal. The planner of your wedding will be with you for far less of the day in Warnham than your photographer will. The experience of the photographer will help to ensure that the wedding party know where they are going and when and help to alleviate any anxiety or emotions as they arise.
Patience
Your wedding photographer should be professional and help you relax throughout the day. Consider the amount of time you will spend with the person on one of the most important days of your life. That decision needs to feel right.
The wedding photographer should be technically excellent, patient, empathetic and a great planner. They need to flow with you and help the lens to capture your personality at its best throughout your special day in Warnham. Even if things donít go exactly to plan, the wedding photographer will remain in control, calm and measured, as a reassuring presence. The best wedding photographers flow with the event, are flexible and adaptable with the images they capture, whilst always maintaining professional standards.
Your Wedding Photographer and What to Expect?
For most people, the wedding day will be the first time they find themselves in front of a professional photographerís camera lens. If you donít like the way you look in photographs, this can prove to be a fairly stressful situation.
Having spent some time considering the best professional wedding photographer in Warnham to match the styles you want, you can now rest assured that they will do certain things to make the process run smoothly.

Theyíll Be There on Time and Be Professional
If you hire people for the right reasons, such as their passion, reputation and having looked at their work, professionalism will be a given. Your wedding photographer should remain polite and courteous at all times, demonstrating a great attitude, good time keeping for every aspect of the schedule and remaining suitably attired throughout the day. Your wedding photographer should arrive before they need to, so that they can get a feel for the venues and the best places to get the shots that you desire.
Wedding Day Rehearsal (The day before)
Church wedding ceremonies normally have the custom of a wedding rehearsal a day or two before the wedding. Your wedding photographer may well want to attend this wedding rehearsal to speak to the Vicar about where to stand during the ceremony and to find out more about the venue. If you choose to have a civil ceremony, then it will most likely be a chat with a registrar on the day of the wedding in Warnham.
The Big Day – the Wedding
Your wedding photographer will tend to arrive to take photos of the bridal presentations, the timings will have been agreed. You will have his undivided attention for the whole day, but without interrupting in any way. Jeff Woodall photography prides itself on its ability to remain unobtrusive but to always be available for questions and to keep spirits high, ensuring that no beautifully precious moment is lost. The goal at Jeff Woodall photography is to ensure that every precious moment is captured, but to remain unobtrusive and in the background until such a time as you have questions to answer, or you need some help.
Sometime after the first dance, your wedding photographer will have a conversation with you to find out whether there are any more pictures that you would like taken. The backing up process will begin if you are happy for your photographer to call it a day. Jeff Woodall does a full backup of the wedding images, to separate hard drives, which will be kept in a safe place on his photo editing suite, where theyíll remain until all the wedding photographs have been completely edited and delivered to you. We never underestimate the value of your photographs.
Editing Wedding Photographs
The editing of wedding photographs takes place in the days after the wedding in Warnham and is a crucial part of the wedding photography process. The first step is to select the best images that tell the story of your wedding. A light edit is carried out on the images to ensure that it is subtle and natural.
The images that are captured by Jeff Woodall photography are always crisp and sharp. Images are cropped and have their colours balanced where necessary, but is limited to minor adjustments. Some images will be converted to black and white and may have other styles applied as appropriate.

Client support - follow-up
Jeff Woodall photography will be available for everything else you need; to talk about albums, or the types of bespoke wedding photo books that can be designed for you. It can take some time after the wedding ceremony to decide on which pictures to include in your digital photo book album, even if you have already decided on colours, styles and designs.
You’ll probably be asked to pick your favorite 80 photographs that depict the story of your day and you can ask your photographer any questions to guide you on this. The design process will then begin, as your photographer works on the album.
The amazing wedding photography package you will get in Warnham
What is normally included in packages for wedding photography
Below is a list of the what is included in a wedding photography package. Some of the items you’ll need to make some careful decisions about, whereas others take care of themselves. How many events you want photographed.
You may want the photographer for the engagement party, the bridal shower, as well as the wedding ceremony and after-party. This will be early on in the decision-making process and will be divided into a number of days that you need the photographer. Following discussion and decisions you need to get the dates organised and communicate them to the photographer.

How many hours of shooting in Warnham
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.
I used to offer a variety of wedding packages in Warnham, just as many photographers still do, such as ëPlatinumí, ëGoldí, ëSilverí and ëBronzeí. When you start adding extras to these packages it all becomes a bit of a logistical nightmare to understand or work out the overall price. When you choose me, you get a fixed price for the day, with no hidden extras. 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. We understand that things can run a little off schedule and don’t want you to be billed for an extra hour here or there if a ëSilverí or ëGoldí package, didn’t cover the hours to fully record your event. 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.

How Wedding Styles Really Differ
Fine Art Photography
Photojournalistic photographers will tend not to take so many traditional shots and nor do fine art photographers. Events, people and elements are photographed with a more artistic approach, with the use of various lighting techniques. The beautifully composed photos that fine art photographers take in Warnham tend to have an artistic and dramatic quality and they often apply striking filters and convert images to black and white.
Vintage Style Photography
The diversity and popularity of vintage photo filters has helped to drive this style of photography. The market for couples who want vintage style weddings and photography has become quite large. Photographs of the Vintage style are timeless, old and has the power to stir emotions in people, which is perhaps why the style has become so appealing. Vintage photography done well in Warnham, transforms ordinary images into artistic work of art using colour filters and various props and lighting tricks.
Traditional or Classical
With traditional or classical photography, nearly every picture is considered to be a posed portrait, even those moments that may appear to be more spontaneous. You’re less likely to get action shots with this type of photography, although every moment will be captured in a natural way that doesn’t feel forced or posed. The aim of traditional photography is to capture moments with dignity and artistry, using many posed shots, including many formal images, under a range of lighting options.
Photojournalistic or Reportage
Similar to a documentary style, photojournalism photography is about recording the event, rather than orchestrating them. The formal shots you would expect at every wedding, will be captured, as well as group and individual ëgrip and griní wedding guest shots. The photo journalistic photographer is all about immortalizing the spontaneous reactions and emotions of the day as they happen, rather than orchestrating and staging their images.
Black and White (Monochrome)
The black and white style is excellent for creating nostalgic and timeless photographs. Many clients appreciate how the nostalgia and mood of images can be enhanced by removing colour. It really comes down to what you prefer. 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. Black and white photographs have the capacity to really enhance the atmosphere of an image, that is sometimes lost in the colour option.
Colour Popped and HDR Techniques
This photography technique requires excellent attention to detail from the outset, while both taking the shots and throughout the processing stage. If you like photographs that are enhanced with that occasional pop of colour, or dramatic high dynamic range, your photographer will have the skill to choose the right scenes sparingly, to professionally execute the shot and to skillfully edit to produce stunning results.
