CONTEMPORARY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

The term contemporary wedding photography is used to describe wedding photography that is not of a traditional nature. The emphasis in contemporary photography is to capture the story and atmosphere from the day, so the viewer has an appreciation of what the wedding was like, rather than a series of pre-determined poses. This term can be mistaken for meaning any photograph that is not posed or formal. The advent and advancement of digital cameras (and increased use of the internet) means that many people can offer their services as a wedding photographer, but contemporary wedding photography is more than taking informal photographs and involves the use of composition, lighting, and timing to capture photographs that have a strong visual appeal

Contemporary wedding photography involves complete indoor photography at the wedding ceremony and reception venue or outdoor photography  Almost all contemporary wedding photographers go for a mix of both posed and candid shots at each ceremony. This is followed up by a formal portrait of the couple in the studio and then facilitation of photographs in the form of digital prints, slides shows and albums.
