WEDDING PHOTOS
AND VIDEOS

Your wedding day is a milestone in your life,
so it makes sense to preserve the day in pho-
tos or on video.
Many couples now opt for both — still pho-
tographs to capture the elegance, and video
to preserve the overall feeling of the day's cel-
ebration. Bride's magazine offers some tips
for finding a good photographer and video-
grapher.
• For video and still photos, hire a profes-
sional. Its usually not a good idea to trust the
preservation of this day to a well-meaning
friend or relative. However, you can augment
a professional photographer's coverage by
having a family fiend snap treasured candid
shots during the reception.
• Get recommendations and start looking
for your photographer and videographer as
soon as you announce the engagement.
Friends, caterers and clergy will have rec-
ommendations.
• Make an appointment to review their
work. Look through a photographer's photo
albums and watch a videographer's tapes (don't
settle for a five-minute demo tape, says Bride's).
• Many photographers and videographers
offer various plans. Photographers might start
shooting the bride's preparations at home;
videographers might film the rehearsal din-
ner or add special effects. Discuss your bud-
get and what you want.
• Find out if there are any restrictions on
photography or videotaping at the wedding
or reception site. Some clergy members ban
flashbulbs and ask videographers to remain
unobtrusive.
• Make sure the contract includes all the
specifics, such as the date and time of the wed-
ding, cost of the service, what that cost in-
cludes, additional charges if the reception
runs long, if you are to be contacted before
the negatives are destroyed, etc. When work-
ing with a studio, make sure you know exactly
who will shoot the wedding.
Current photography trends, according to
Bride's, show a swing back to classic, formal
wedding and engagement pictures, without
gimmicky double exposures. To save time
and hassle on the big day, more couples are
posing for their wedding portraits before the
wedding.
Couples also want more candid or semi-
posed shots with their guests and even a few
black-and-white pictures. 11
