In the past, taking photographs for a wedding entailed specific, posed shots where the photographer gathered everyone together, posed them, prepped them and took the photograph. While the results were beautiful in many cases, these staged photographs are simply not the way to display the fond memories that you have of the event, which for many people only occurs once in a lifetime. The answer, then, is to consider a photographer that can provide you with some truly creative photography options. A creative photographer is one that is going to create art with the photographs that he or she takes.
If you have ideas for creative photography, share them with your wedding photographer early in the planning process. This way, if there is anything specific that they need to set up, they can plan ahead and make sure that everything is in place beforehand. If you want a very specific photograph to be taken, then it would be a wise idea for you to let your photographer know so that they have time to take your needs into account while creating their own create photograph opportunities as well. It is the combination of both your ideas and your photographer's ideas that will create the best photo books.
Modern photography for a wedding should be interesting, edgy and meaningful. The photographer may experiment with both color images and black and white images depending on what you are looking for. Because you can create multiple photography books using the creative photography that your photographer takes, you might consider creating several different themes, such as a serious wedding book, a fun and amusing shots book and a book for highly professional, classical black and white images so that you can enjoy the best of all three styles of photography.
Ultimately, the decision making process is up to you when it comes to creative photography and the photographs that are taken during your wedding ceremony and the subsequent reception. If you give your photographer some artistic license and only a modicum of direction, you may end up with more creative photographs than if you demand only the classic photos that every wedding seems to end up with. This is an important consideration if you want high quality photo books worth showing off to your friends and family after the event, because a high quality photographer can provide you with exactly what you are looking for.
