Wedding Photography

Photography covering a marriage ceremony and its surrounding events, combining documentary, portrait and detail work.

In depth

Nothing can be repeated, which shapes every decision: dual card slots, backup bodies, redundant lighting and a second photographer. It also demands social skill on a scale no other genre requires — managing families, officiants and timings while remaining unobtrusive during the parts that matter most.

Examples in practice

Two bodies with dual cards, four batteries and a second shooter cover a ceremony that will never happen twice.
