    private/emotional moments - Shoot or not?

    in Wedding & Event

    Posted

    <p>It is an emotional moment. And as a former newspaper photojournalist who was faced with many moments like these, it's not an easy choice to make. As a family member, the image would be the only tangible moment where the lost family member was "at" the wedding. It would have been perhaps a hard image to view at first, but in time a photo they would cherish.<br>

    My advice would have been to pump up the ISO and shoot just a couple of images without flash at a slow shutter speed. Support yourself on a wall or camera on a table if you don't have a tripod. Shoot with a long lens. It is better to have the moment and not give it to them than not have it at all and not fully document the day.</p>

     

    A website question for experienced wedding photographers only

    <p>I recommended a fellow photographer to a friend for a wedding (I was booked for that date). I loved this shooters site and their work they brought to a bridal show. Never had I seen a whole wedding by this person. My friend booked this photographer based upon my suggestion. <br>

    Needless to say, I had egg on my face when she got her wedding images back. One or two nice images out of the 1,700 taken does not make a great photographer. Even my 86-year-old mother can do this by accident.<br>

    I always have a variety of edited (down to about 150-300 images) weddings for my clients to view. All they want to know is visually your thought process during the wedding.<br>

    Just my $.02</p>
