As anyone who has ever been married knows, a great deal goes into planning a wedding. How many people will we be able to invite? Where to hold the ceremony and the reception? Which florist, invitations and wedding photographer to use?

The quality of the wedding photography is an especially important consideration, as the photographs will shape your memory of the event for many years to come. It will serve you well to consider how you would like your happy memories preserved and to discuss your wishes with your photographer before the big day approaches, particularly with the following aspects in mind.

The people
Wedding photographers such as the award winning 2 Tone Wedding Photographers of Durhamare very aware of the importance of capturing the exquisite beauty of the bride. However, since there are two people getting married on the big day and both typically have friends and family in attendance, there are a great many other people to consider!

Remember to capture precious moments shared by all, realising that the wedding is just as momentous an occasion for many close friends and relatives in the ...
... wedding party as for the bride and groom. Be sure that the joy of this special day is memorialised for them, for others in attendance and even for future generations who will look to your wedding photographs as indispensable pieces of the family history.

The place
While elopement is hardly uncommon, most engaged couples consider every possible option before deciding on the venue where they will exchange vows, be it an historic church in an urban setting or a cottage in the country. Planning an outdoor wedding and see clouds outside on the morning of the big day? Fear not! For wedding photography purposes, an overcast sky is ideal, as it results in even lighting and removes any possibility of unsightly shadows on the nuptials’ faces.

Keep in mind, too, that the wedding rehearsal presents yet another, arguably better (since stress levels will still be relatively low) opportunity for wedding photographers to work their magic. If you wish to have sunny skies captured in some of your wedding photos, then you will double the odds by arranging to have photographs taken at both the rehearsal and the wedding.

Regardless, an expert wedding photographer will also make every effort to capture the beauty of the setting in which you utter your vows and even include a few close-ups of objects of interest to help you complete the happy memories of your wedding day for years to come.

Colour versus black-and-white
While colour photographs are obviously more modern, there is still something to be said for moments captured in black-and-white. Much like the hazy, muted Instagram effect that has become all the rage among amateur photographers on social media in recent years, the absence of colour adds a magical element that the immediacy of a crisp colour photograph simply cannot. Many experienced wedding photographers offer both options, so be sure to discuss this option with your photographer as well.
