I am a little behind on some of the post work on a few of the September Weddings. I have been sick for the last week, but finally getting back to normal. Alot of 07 requests are coming in, so things are busy but good. I also got the 24inch iMac set up and it seems to be a great addition, although I do have a few issues. The new wireless mighty mouse from Apple feels a little cheap to me. I wish it was built like my Macally mouse I use for my portable, and the only other thing is the monitor resoultion. I am using the machine at 1900, in my mind it needs one more step larger. Just some nitpicky notes on otherwise a fantastic computer. Yesterday Apple released Aperture 1.5, which I am thinking of finally trying out. If anyone has any experience using this, drop me a comment. Would be great to hear from you. Thats about it for now.

First off, you have to make a choice. Do you want your pictures to look like your standard wedding pictures or do you want them to resemble the images in the magazines?

If your happy with the standard (as in the same photo style as your older sister’s wedding), the rest of this post will bore you.

Most magazine layouts are shot by an editorial photographer. If this is what you want, look for a photographer who shoots both commercial photography and wedding photography. Why? They will tend to bring more of a commercial look and perspective to your wedding assignment. Look at both their work and see if the commercial images match what you would expect from a magazine. Next, stay away from photographers who show you their sample book and state that they will make every one of your pictures look as good as these. Some of the best photographers I have met who shoot for some of the biggest names in advertising and fashion can not even make that promise. This is especially true with wedding photography, where light sources, temperature, and angles continuously change.

So when looking for your photographer - look at your potential photographer’s images, look for a variety of styles (commercial, fashion, editorial, wedding, etc.) The more styles they tend to shoot, the better they can handle variable shooting conditions. Next, look at the composition and creativity of their composition. A great image is 50 percent technical skill and 50 percent creative eye. If they have a creative eye and good technical skills, you stand a very good chance of walking away with some great images.

Started the post work on J and B’s wedding photos. Thought I would share one with ya.

There have been incredible changes in wedding photography over the past few years, which is great news to anyone who is currently shopping for a wedding photographer. The trend is toward a new, more contemporary style of photography. It’s more relaxed, more natural and more artistic than ever. Gone are the old, forced, unnatural looking poses of the past. Today’s couples are more educated consumers and don’t want the old, stuffy styles of photography that their parents had on their wedding day.

Besides looking more natural, how is it different that traditional photography?

At Hull Photographic we want our couples to enjoy their wedding day. Couples spend so much time and money planning and preparing for the event. It does not make sense to miss a few hours of the wedding, being ordered around by a photographer who makes them maintain stiff, rigid, uncomfortable poses. Many photographers now offer a “photojournalistic” style of photography, where the day is recorded just the way it happens.

The photographs tell the story of your day. No constant posing, no taking time away from the fun….just natural, artistic and beautiful photos that capture the events and moods of the day.

What about the family and group shots?

We attempt to take these group shots before or just after the ceremony, taking less time than photographers of the past so you can get on with your day and not miss out on the fun.

Black and white imagery is also extremely popular, but is it a trend? Many modern couples are requesting to have their weddings photographed solely or partially in black and white. There is just something about it. It has a very classic, timeless and artistic feel. It has it’s own mood. It lends itself well to the photojournalistic style. This trend is probably here to stay, but it is always nice to have a combination of both color and black and white.

Consider not only the style of different photographers, but also the personality and choose the one that you feel the most comfortable with. Let’s face it…the wedding you are spending so much time planning is only going to last a few short hours. The music will stop, the food will be eaten, and the flowers wilt, but you will always have those photos to remember your day. And that is why it is so important to find a good photographer who will give you beautiful, artistic pictures you will want to look at over and over. This thought process is at the foundation of Hull Photographic, and we welcome the chance to be a part of your wedding.
