RE: How I got the shot - 3

in #photography7 years ago

Love it.

Ive shot a couple of weddings and a quite a few wedding foe video. Ita a high pressure environment and wedding shooters, good ones, are worth their weight in gold.

One thing that couples dont realise when the cheap out is that this is the everlasting memory of their big day they're paying for.

Regardless of how much rhey pay for their wedding, its the wedding shooters that make the history.

Great shot and kudos to you for lookong for the special when the meat and two veg will always suffice.

Haha tell me about it! I think everyone realises the importance AFTER the wedding, but I learned years ago that if someone is planning on going for a cheap photographer then nobody will convince them of the value of a good photographer!

Thanks :) It definitely helps working as a team, it gives us the freedom to experiment a little more!

I filmed a wedding once, it rained for most of it, the wedding party argued and the lasting impression from the couple was one of doom and gloom.

With some clever use of b roll, seceltive shots and a good creative edit, I gave them a happy, sunny upbeat film of their day which, when the saw it, changed completely their recollection of the day.

This is so important, and now they will live the rest of their lives with a positive memory of their wedding and not the dour, miserable one they were harbouring before the film.

Don’t drop a couple of grand on the band and cheap out on the photogs!

Haha great to hear, it's definitely a rewarding job when you do it right!
