Digital photography, a fairly recent invention, has had major ramifications in all aspects of photography, not least wedding photography. The term wedding photography, by the way, refers to the photographic activity that takes place before, during and right after wedding ceremonies. Such photography is considered an integral part of the wedding ceremony; very much like the white gown, the procession and the wedding cake. A modern wedding ceremony without photography would be considered incomplete, just as a modern (western-style) wedding would be considered incomplete without a cake for the groom and his bride to 'cut.'

Now one effect that digital photography has had on wedding photography is that there is no longer much panic when the hired photographer does not show up. The Y generation may not really understand this, but just a few decades ago (before the advent of the digital camera), photography was a very specialized art/science: like medicine or engineering. Only the specialists could do it. Not everyone could be a photographer. So if on a wedding day the hired photographer failed to show up, panic was sure to set in. It was not unheard of weddings even being postponed on that account only; for how could the couple say they were wedded when there was no photographic evidence for the fact?

Thanks to digital photography, everybody is now a photographer. Even many modern phones come with digital cameras. So if the hired photographer fails to show up, that is his loss. Someone will take their digital camera (or their phone), and start recording the event for posterity. No need for panic whatsoever.

Indeed, cash-constrained couples are opting not to hire a photographer for their weddings. Rather, one of the friends in attendance, who has the sense to use a digital camera well is assigned the task of clicking at the most crucial moments. Better still, two different friends are assigned the task, so that in case one doesn't get it right the other one surely will.

Talking of 'getting it right,' the second effect of digital photography on wedding photography is that it has reduced the incidences where wedding photographs got 'burned' (overexposed) or otherwise messed up. The precursor to digital photography, which was film-based photography used to be open to so many complications. In other words, so many things could go wrong. Not so with digital photography. But should something go wrong still, there is always a chance that someone else clicked away at the event in question (seeing that everyone is a photographer now), so that the damage is minimal anyway.

The third effect of digital photography on wedding photography is that it has made it less expensive. The photographer using the digital photograph really only has to care about running out of charge on his camera. Nothing else gets 'consumed' and the whole thing is extremely cheap. Now compare this with traditional photography - where there was always the cost of the film to contend with (or at least the risk of running out of film where the cost was not an issue) - and you see just how much of an improvement digital photography is.Read More..

Wedding photography is an evolving field that requires artistic talent, vision, and highly technical expertise.

In the past wedding photography was almost always limited to stiff posses without much regard for the underlying story, emotion, romance, and behind the scene events of the wedding day.

Although there is still a big segment of the wedding industry that practices traditional photography with its preplanned poses, and recreation of the wedding peak events such as the kiss, the ring exchange, etc., the modern wedding couple demands a more contemporary approach to their wedding day.

Wedding photojournalism has been in vogue for the past decade. The central idea behind it has been the capture of the wedding events without any interference or direction from the wedding photographer. The photographer is there to capture the true essence of the wedding day. As a result of this realistic approach the photographs are a true representation of the wedding day. Hard core wedding journalistic will be totally opposed to posing any wedding related event. If it doesn't not happen during the wedding it won't be recorded. This includes family group photos.

Several photographers offer a hybrid approach to wedding photography, usually a combination of traditional and journalistic wedding photography. In this approach the photographer focuses on documenting the wedding day but the coverage also includes a session with the couple for formal posed or semi-posed photographs and also family group photos.

The latest trend in wedding photography is toward a more fashionable approach. Inspired on high-end fashion magazines such as Vogue, Elle, InStyle, Cosmopolitan, Glamour, GQ, American Photo, etc., and wedding magazines the photographer seeks to make the couple's fantasies real.

In the fashion wedding photography approach the goal is to make the wedding couple look their best. Their romantic interplay is glamorized to its maximum expression. The everyday couple becomes like wedding celebrities. Attention to detail is required to achieve the perfect look. This approach requires a great deal of artistic talent behind the camera and also great computer image editing skill to produce a unique photo. Half the photo is made on the camera with the second half achieved though digital image editing and manipulation.

Which style is best, is for you to decide. In our experience a big segment of the wedding couples want to capture the reality, details and romance of the wedding day but at the same time they have fantasies about their wedding and the way they should look.

When making a decision for a wedding photographer Sydney look closely to the photographer's portfolio and see how it agrees with your philosophy on how your wedding day should be photographed. Regardless of your philosophy please make sure that you select a master of the craft, you and the next generation deserve masterpiece memories of your wedding day.
