Our Photography Style

As a wedding photographer, there are basically two different ways to approach a wedding or event. One is in a traditional portrait manner in which I control the event, the people, the poses, the lighting etc. A wedding photojournalist documents the life as it happens. The approach of the wedding photojournalist is to tell the story of the event without taking any control. He/she does not need to pose you before taking shots. More shots are taken using this approach and at the end of the day a full story of the wedding is told with the pictures. Which approach do we use? It depends on what the bride and groom wants. However, we greatly advise  our clients to go for the photojournalistic style. At the same time we still do some posing with the bridal portrait, family and friends sessions. 

 

What is a Professional Wedding Album?

Perhaps it is easier to describe what a professional album is not. It is not an inexpensive 3 ring 100 page magnetic book, a post bound scrapbook, or a simple 3 1/2x5 or 4x6 pocket style camera store album. Any of these items of which you can get at Wal-Mart or any other general store. Rather, it is an album that accepts all sizes of professional prints from 10x10 to 3 1/2x5, mounted into a matted page or flush mounted on an archival page, and viewed without the need to turn the album sideways.

There are basically two types of Professional Albums, Traditional Matted and Flush Mount, or Art book style, of which have become very popular.

The two types of bound book type albums are available through high end professional studios. One is an actual library book where the pages are custom designed and are bound into the book's spine. Generally these albums are the most expensive. The second type of book has a one piece cover that accepts individual pages into its spine receivers. If the page edges are gilded gold or silver, it is hard to tell this album from a fully bound book since both have an elegant block look to them.

Traditional Matted Albums have the prints mounted in mats, then placed in Leaves (pages), photo-corners can also be used to mount your prints in the desired location on the page. Prints can be removed from the album, repositioned, or often times prints can be added to an album.

Flush mount albums have a design layout of the prints for each specific page printed & mounted on the pages, you can also mount individual prints in this way in the desired layout. Once the prints are mounted they are permanent. They can not be removed from the album, it is more like a bound book with pictures. Some Flush mount Albums give you the flexibility to add or remove leaves, these are not bound books.

Which Album should I choose?: If you want an everlasting album that will preserve your photos, I recommend you get either the matted leather album or the Flush mount. The flush mount albums are the latest wedding story book being requested by brides. It is a little bit expensive than the traditional matted album because the photographer has to design the book and have the pictures mounted on the pages. Designing a flush mount album require a strong creative skill by the photographer and the ability to use  a specialized software from the  manufacturer of the book.
