Wedding photography, why is it recommended to choose a documentary wedding photographer for your wedding?

First of all, let me give you some popular science about the difference between "posed wedding photographer" and "documentary wedding photographer".

"posed photographer" is what we often encounter when attending weddings. The type of photographer who will teach brides to pose in various poses and take beautiful photos, while the "documentary wedding photographer" does not disturb the whole process and does not interfere with the progress of the wedding. The documentary wedding photographer captures the photos and takes pictures with his heart. Capture and record every touching and real moment in the wedding.

There is no distinction between the two types of photographers which one is better or worse, so why do I still recommend that you choose a documentary wedding photographer?

Before giving you the reasons, let me tell you three wedding stories I encountered

The first story was when I was still a staged wedding photographer. This wedding is just like all the weddings I have photographed before. There is a beautiful bride and a handsome groom. From dressing gown, Xiuhe to wedding dress, I tried my best to pose for the couple. I took two pictures of each outfit. We went to three scenes and tried to get a lot of beautiful photos. The whole wedding went smoothly and the bride was very happy to take photos. I was very happy to get a lot of beautiful photos.

When did the problem arise? What? After the wedding, I accidentally overheard the bride and groom arguing while waiting for the car behind the screen. The quarrel was very fierce at the time. The groom accused the bride of taking photos and delaying the toast. The bride felt aggrieved and said that the photographer was holding me back. Taking photos. I felt aggrieved at the time. Obviously the bride likes to take photos and wants more beautiful photos. How could I make a mistake after trying my best?

You readers may have opinions, so don’t show off. Isn’t it enough to just take some photos? I will answer this question later on why once the time for posing for photos becomes uncontrollable.

It was at that time that I began to reflect on what the newlyweds need when it comes to weddings. Photos? Is it really a serious and responsible job to take new people to pose for photos?

After thinking about it for a long time, I came to the answer. This is not a serious and responsible thing, just like a person pretending to work hard. Students who study but do not do well, even though I am sincerely taking photos for newcomers.

The reason is that I do not bring "long-term value" to newcomers, and I do not make my newcomers aware of what photos look like. What is truly valuable to them is something worth remembering and remembering for their entire lives.

But my efforts and responsibility at that time were just a waste of my time and that of the newcomers, and most people didn’t realize it. Regarding this question, I also think that the wedding photographer who keeps pulling him to take pictures is a responsible photographer. (PS: We need to praise the photographer for his hard work, and a serious photographer deserves praise)

The second story happened after I turned into a documentary wedding photographer

Please look at the three photos below

This is a scene from the wedding that day. The camera teacher pulled the couple When I went to pose for a photo, the bride’s mother stood silently at the door of the hotel and looked at her daughter’s back. Later, she followed her alone and took out her mobile phone to shoot there. Since the photo took a long time, the mother took the photo for a while and then left. This mother wished she could talk to her daughter on the wedding day. Even if it was meaningless nonsense, these exchanges contained deep love.

This is why I recommend documentary wedding photography to prospective couples. Many of them People don’t know what they lose by posing for wedding photos. Gorgeous blockbusters can be taken at any time, especially if you have already taken wedding photos. You should better accompany your parents, family and friends on the wedding day. Let’s talk a little and feel the feelings of our parents. This is a day full of remembrances, not a day to take large-scale artistic photos.

Many couples have told me after the wedding that they felt it was too much. In a hurry, the thing I regret most is not fully understanding the mood of my parents. Since wedding time is so precious, why not use the precious wedding time to record the real and true moments at the wedding?

The third story

Please look at the photo below and pay attention to the changes in the bride’s expression

In fact

In this wedding, the bride and groom’s homes were very close to each other, only a few kilometers away. However, when the bride was about to set off in the wedding car, a series of emotional changes occurred.

The bride, who was originally very happy, got into the wedding car and her emotions changed. She immediately became depressed. When the bride saw her father passing by the wedding car through the window, she immediately became happy again and reached out to catch the father passing by. However, the father may have been in a hurry at the time or did not notice. In short, the bride stretched out her hand. The outstretched hand did not catch her father, and when she received a response, the bride's emotion of leaving home was infinitely amplified. Just as the groom returned to the wedding car after finishing his work, the bride acted very sadly and acted coquettishly. At this time, a very loving scene happened, that is, the groom said a few words After coaxing the bride, the bride suddenly smiled very happily again, and was filled with pink bubbles of love. I was also busy taking photos, and I was looking forward to what more interesting things would happen next.

But at this moment, the pose photography teacher came over and said to the couple: "You two hug each other." Then the couple's story was instantly interrupted. To be honest, at the moment of being interrupted, I was particularly angry and angry. It’s such a pity that I often think about this scene. If there were no interruptions from staged shots, what would the groom and the bride continue to whisper, how would the bride continue to act coquettishly to her groom, what sweeter scenes would there be, but these possibilities They all cease to exist and have become irreparable regrets...

After listening to these three stories, I believe that everyone knows something about documentary wedding photographers and will more or less understand the wedding photography options I recommend. The reason for being a documentary wedding photographer. A good documentary wedding photographer captures your emotions. Any emotional miss on the wedding day is a special regret.

The following problem is what I encountered The most common questions asked by newlyweds

2. I have money, can I hire a documentary wedding photographer and a staged photographer at the same time?

. The answer I give is that it is best not. Because You cannot have two clones. When you go to stage a photo, you will definitely not be able to communicate with your family and friends. In order to control the cleanness of the photo, the people around you will often be removed. Without communication, how can there be a story? happened, the nature of the wedding has changed.

3. Is it okay if I stage the photo but for a shorter time?

There is a possibility that there are too many stories happening at the wedding. Sometimes you miss a lot of scenes that cannot be restored in just one moment of posing. The excitement is often instantaneous. My suggestion is not to do it. You have already taken wedding photos and have beautiful photos, so there is really no need. Spend precious wedding time posing for some photos that only look beautiful but have no memory value.

4. If the documentary wedding photographer doesn’t pose for photos, does that mean he won’t take group photos?

p>

This is definitely a misunderstanding. On the contrary, documentary wedding photographers pay more attention to group photos, because group photos are long-lasting and meaningful photos. They are not empty and lacking in beauty like staged photos. Therefore, documentary wedding photographers I can take group photos, and I can take many group photos, so please feel free to do this.

5. Your home is in a rural area or you feel that your home is too small and there is nothing to take pictures of.

I think one The significance of a wedding does not lie in how luxurious it is. The most important thing about a wedding is the feelings, including love, family affection and friendship. These are all worth recording and the most worth recording. If you speed up your time to 50 Years from now, on your wedding day, everything will have commemorative value. The countryside may no longer exist, the house you live in may be moved, and these may disappear with the passage of time, but you once lived this Place, you have had many stories happen in this place, how can you despise it for being "shabby", despise it for not bringing the so-called "vanity", or worry about being laughed at?

Again, yours The meaning of a wedding does not lie in luxury, but in love. With love, everything is full of meaning. In the eyes of documentary wedding photographers, there is absolutely no such thing as a shabby countryside or a home that is too small and nothing to photograph. Nor will they encourage you to choose a hotel or hotel. What better place to hold a face-saving project wedding.

6. The misunderstanding of documentary wedding photographers is that as long as they can click the shutter, they are documentary wedding photographers.

This often comes from To the right

People who don’t know much about wedding photography, or even people who know about wedding photography, will definitely not be very accomplished. At least their artistic accomplishments are not high.

Anyone who has participated in a wedding knows that wedding photography It is a particularly busy and trivial day. To outsiders, the festive atmosphere is messy and noisy with all kinds of people and things. The documentary wedding photographer is a hunter who looks for stories and emotions among these people and things. With his unique To record these beautiful things from a different perspective, a good documentary wedding photographer is definitely a person with rich emotions and rich shooting experience. Because he understands, sees and feels that he can shoot a wedding well.
