If there is one thing that frustrates event hosts and planners alike, it is the lack of credence given to the RSVP. Invitations are different from announcements in that they are a petition for your presence. Once you receive one, regardless of your availability, they create an action item for you. Are you in, or are you out? Either way, your host needs to know.

I remember in grammar school when kids brought their neat little bundles of birthday invitations to classrooms. It was there, right in front of everyone, that you either got one...or you didn't. If you did get one, you ran home with it to ask your mom if you could go to the party. "Please, because all my friends will be there" was your plea. My mom usually rolled her eyes, but always said, "Let me call her/his mother". It was in that statement that    [read more..]

Picture the professionals of yesteryear. They would struggle for years and years to learn portrait photography as a craft and profession. Spending hours at the feet of an old master picking up all the little secrets that made the master great. If the apprentice was diligent and hard working he might have the opportunity to go out on his own someday. He knew that his hard work would pay off the dividends of a skill that would provide for his family throughout his life.

>Is that how you learn photography?

>Well, that's how I learned. Learning has changed tremendously with the advent of digital cameras. What was previously a tremendous task has been trivialized. Image putting photographs on the internet without a digital camera or even a scanner. Hummm, Not an easy task.

So what is a true “wedding photojournalist?” He/she is a photographer who is dedicated, from beginning to end, to photograph a wedding like a Time Magazine photographer might photograph the "day in the life" of President Obama. His/her desire is to capture the actual story of the day with all the emotion, drama, and reality that develops without any prompting whatsoever. A client who selects a wedding photojournalist or a documentary wedding photographer should be doing so because they are not interested in contrived, staged, posed or set-up style photographs that their photographer creates for the sake of making a “perfect” photo. This client has no interest in having photographs made that are more like illusions or portrayals of truth, controlled by the    [read more..]

How talented is your wedding photographer? Of course, you want the best. But, how do you even begin to understand that as a non-photographer? It's within in their style. Do they seem to have a lot of posed photographs? Did the subjects in the images appear like they were having fun?

A great image usually has 3 main components.

1) Great composition. Now you don't have to have a degree in photography to understand basic composition, but the subjects are not normally centered in the image (there are always exceptions). Here's a great sign of great photos. Are they memorable? Do they grab you visually? Do they evoke a strong feeling/emotion when viewed? Those are all good signs.

2) Great lighting. Again, we are getting a little technical, but it does help    [read more..]
