Wedding Photographers Are Now Going Digital

By Joe Tennison


Wedding photographers are now more and more frequently using digital cameras instead of film. Even the non-professional photographers, the guests who are attending the wedding, are using digital cameras. What is it that digital cameras have changed about wedding photography?

Keep in mind that excellent photographs are of the utmost importance to the bride and groom. The couple is likely to spend a great deal of money to ensure a beautiful memory of their important day. They are likely to discover that a lot of professional photographers are now using digital cameras.

Wedding photography is now digital instead of film because digital photography is much easier to use. No longer does the professional need to spend the time and money in a dark room developing film. Additionally, digital photos can be edited to make them even more beautiful.

Spontaneous pictures are much easier with a digital camera, because they are often auto-focus cameras. Not as much time needs to be spent on changing the settings before taking the shot. Digital cameras often have automatic settings which take into account variations in the room's lighting. This makes digital photography more adaptable to any surrounding.

However, sometimes beginning photographers get overconfident. Occasionally, the bride and groom may opt out of hiring a professional, believing they can get the same quality from an amateur. Professional photographers have years of experience and knowledge, however, and it is very wise to take advantage of the quality they offer.

Professional photographers do not just arrive at the wedding and take photos randomly like an amateur would. Instead, they meet with the couple ahead of time and discuss what exactly the couple wants photos taken of, as well as special details that can make the final project even more memorable.

The professional will also ask about the kinds of photos the couple wants to have in the album, because they might prefer formal posed ones, or casual, impromptu ones, or some combination of the two. He or she will also make suggestions and bring out various kinds of albums that other people have used so they can get an idea of what is possible in this process.

Of course the presence of digital cameras has changed the face of wedding photography for the future. You will have guests who can take some nice photos at the ceremony and at the reception with a pretty cheap digital camera, for instance. However, it has to be remembered that if the bride and groom want truly lovely photos and a memorable album to keep them in, a professional wedding photographer is still the way to go.
