Hiring A Creative Professional Like many brides and grooms, your wedding could be the first-time you’ll be hiring a creative professional. You might think the ins and outs of working with a wedding photographer are as simple as writing a check. What could be so difficult, right? But just ask any talented pro, and you’ll get a grateful explanation of why it’s so important to truly understand their creative process, and being a part of it. Alec makes it fun..

How you manage your relationship with a wedding photojournalist can have just as profound an impact on the photographs as the day unfolding before the camera. Luckily, you and Alec both want the same outcome: amazing photos that capture the feeling of the wedding day.

The Wedding Photojournalist According to Wikipedia, “Photojournalism (sometimes called photo journalism) is a particular form of journalism (the collecting, editing, and presenting of news material for publication or broadcast) that creates images in order to tell a news story”.

This artistic, documentary style may entail black and white or color photos, film or digital wedding photography. Wedding photojournalists work in a documentary manner, easily replacing the narrative itself.

Wedding Photojournalism is characterized by its candid, creative and natural results spanning serious to humorous scenes. While traditional wedding photography dictates the setting, a wedding photojournalist documents the moment as it naturally happens

The light you need is often absent, is the wrong kind, or is in the wrong place. That’s why judicious use of on-camera flash plays a central role in assuring great shots and happy clients. “It’s all about complementing the light that is there,”

We are not selling a product; "We're capturing your dream day" What to think about before setting a budget for your photographer. Many costly items of the day ­ food, flowers, decorations ­ are going to be gone once the date has passed. Certainly, you want to enjoy the experience and have a beautiful party for family and friends, but the photos are going to be there forever. We believe is more about the emotion of the day.

“Avoid a high-noon wedding in direct sunlight,” If at all possible  If the sun's beating down, not only will the bride and groom look hot and exhausted and squinting in photographs, so will all the guests and family.”
“Images shot during that time of the day will have a beautiful golden tone and very dramatic long shadows.”

 “When the sun is closer to the horizon, it creates the horizontal, "golden light" Alec and all photographers love…
Images shot during that time of the day will have a beautiful golden tone and very dramatic long shadows.”

All that said, direct sunlight also enables creative possibilities. “It can actually create fantastic shadow patterns.
