Our wedding photographers approach to wedding photography

Our approach to wedding photography is the key to the look and feel of our images. At View we believe in capturing not dominating your wedding day. We look to shoot in a fresh, natural way, without contrived or corny poses. You're wedding as a whole is the focus of our photography, you're guests, the action, the humor of the day are what we strive to capture. With a history in fashion editorial photography we take pictures that are beautiful and natural with-out using tricks such as soft focus filters to make people look great. Our wedding photographers are committed to making each wedding we shoot individual and truly unique. Negative ownershipAt View we believe that the bride and groom should own their own negatives. The benefits of this to the bride and groom are that re-print costs are very low and also the security of always knowing where your wedding negs are. Once we have photographed your wedding and had the proof prints made of each shot, we give you the set of proof prints , the negatives and set you up with an ordering system and the address of our preferred lab.AlbumsAt View photography we custom design your wedding album using both the latest digital technology and traditional matt style methods. Our digital wedding albums (digitally created magazine style albums) are truly special an like nothing else on the market.We can also produce mini albums for your family or special guests. Our digital albums are designed page by page by a graphic designer, using our photographs, text, individual motifs and illustrations, making them truly individual. No two albums we do are alike. You can also purchase an e-album service for a small additional fee. This is an emailable version of the digital album you receive.

Choose a Wedding Photographer

Shopping for a wedding photographer is not like selecting a gown or a bridal bouquet. You can see something tangible before you make your decision, when you're shopping for specific items like that. But in the selection of your photographer, you're often at the mercy of a super-salesperson and/or your own intuition. It seems as if PRICE is usually the main determining factor, even though there's NEVER going to be a second chance. Nor has there ever been anything written that gives you, the bride, a true guideline as to how to select the one person who could supply you with a heart full of memories to last a lifetime.I have, therefore, compiled a list of in-depth questions that you may want to explore to help select the photographer who's right for you. Think about them and get answers before placing your trust and faith in someone who might later disappoint you with results that are less than what you had hoped to receive. No one knows better than I what's going on in the wedding photography industry today. I've been a wedding photographer, myself, for the last 7 years or so, and been photographing for over 10 years. I really know the business from the INSIDE OUT! And I want to share it with you here - in the hopes that you will once and for all learn how to be an educated shopper for wedding photography.
