So what makes a wedding photographer a professional? In my opinion it is being able to provide the client with exactly what type of photos they like on demand.
A lot of people don't know too much about the photography process whether it be commercial, lifestyle, whatever. It is the professionals job to bring comfort to the client instead of confusion. You also have to have a good grasp on what is important to the client. It is more then nice cameras and cute websites.
So keep in mind that before you label yourself as a pro photographer you need to have the plan of action for your clients from first contact until the job is done. If you are asking too many questions to the client chances are your not a pro.

All About The Bride - Wedding Photography West Palm Beach

Wedding Photography West Palm Beach

Okay so I'm revising my style of wedding photography. I have always been the type to photograph the wedding in a photo journalistic manner. Making sure to capture the chronological events of the day. I figured I was quite good at this, but I always like to explore how I can do better.
I noticed that although I would capture all the key moments something was missing. Something was not quite right. Then it hit me. IT'S ALL ABOUT THE BRIDE!!
The photographs I was taking before were technically sound and nice to look at but seeing this day through the eyes of the brides, I figured they should have the spotlight on them, and I should provide it. For me this means more time to pose the bride by herself.
So I started trying to be more conscious of the bride anytime I can. Throughout the wedding day as a photographer I am pulled here, there, and everywhere it seems. So whenever I can I pull the bride to the side gently and get  a good photo of her in the mix while also setting time aside for shots in the contract.
Case in point. This photo was taken in the chapel during formals. Behind me is chaos, but focusing on the bride, I asked her if she would hold out the bouquet for me and I got this shot (above).
