Now and Forever . . .

Now and Forever

Some years ago now I worked a day job that I hated, March to September

every year I’d spend the days trying to find a way out, with the

arrival of the autumn each year my ardor weakened and I dung in for

the winter. As the days start to shorten this year and we are

preparing for this seasons wedding fayres, battening down the hatches

and putting my head under the duvet definitely isn’t on the agenda

, although I have to admit it some days I do feel like it.

As we put together our marketing this year I find myself looking

around at the work of my peers, so often we can be so caught up so much in our

own work that it is good to see what everyone else is doing. Two of my

favorites wedding photographers, Yevant and Joe Buissink both of whom I

have mentioned hear before take a similar out look on wedding

photography, capturing romance and elegance in abundance, an approach

I humbly follow. Not all photographers work this way though and it

pays to look around when sourcing a wedding photographer. Reportage/

photo-journalist style wedding photography has been around now for

quite a while although not my personal vocation it too has it’s

advocates. Whichever style of photography suits you there are always a

great number of photographer to choose from, bottom line though, you

get what you pay for.

I rarely get into specifics on this blog as you know, this is just a

place for inane ramblings, but if this subject is of interest to you,

you may want to checkout a blog by a friend of mine

Anna Saverimuttu who explains in a more elegant style than I possibly could

about the qualities required in a wedding photographer, specifically

in this case photo-journalist style of photography.
