Wedding photography captures the "Big Day" for couples, whether it's the bride's little cousins as flower girls, the newlyweds' first dance or the swan-shaped table napkins. Wedding photographers have moved on from passing a videocamera around your relatives to having it be the "done thing" to hire a wedding photographer with a range of different wedding packages to suit all tastes and budgets.
Wedding photographers will take pictures of the guests, the venue, the food, the ceremony etc. in order to preserve the memory of the wedding. Traditionally the bride(s) and/or groom(s) are taken away to pose for shots together before joining the wedding guests for a group photo. Many will then create a scrapbook or photo album of the day, or, as another option, professionally print and frame selected pictures, often including digital downloads of the pictures with the service.
One such wedding photographer is celebrity photographer Robert Evans. An acclaimed videographer and photographer, he holds a Sony Artisan of Imagery, which means he is recognised as one of the best in his field. Celebrities such as Shania Twain and Ioan Gruffurd secured him for their weddings and he also photographed Nine Inch Nails' Trent Reznor's wedding.
He has been a photographer for over 25 years and as well as weddings, he also shoots editorials and personal celebrations. He provides a good service and creates memorable photographs where the subjects are obviously having a good time. His striking style sets him apart from other wedding photographers and I can see why he is one of the top wedding photographers in the world.
I think it's a nice idea to get a wedding photographer, as then you're guaranteed a special memento of the occasion. Alternatively, if your budget won't stretch to it, you could buy cheap disposable cameras for each group of guests to record the event. You could also give people permission to use their own phones and cameras, although you'd have to be willing to deal with interruptions and the potential of your "I do" drowned out with a tinny ringtone.
As you can see from the photographs above, Robert Evans varies the type of wedding photographs he takes, as well as how he edits them. I like how close the couples appear and how nice the off-guard photographs are. The posed photographs have nice compositions and I especially like how he included photos of the preparation, for example the lip liner being put on. I really like the first and the last images on the second line - the first because I like how it was taken from above and how the bride disrupts the symmetry of the fountain, and the last because it's visually appealing and the reflection is a great effect. The black and white makes it seem more contemplative and the contrast between the waves and the smooth sand is pretty.
