Choosing a Boston Wedding Photographer, Part I

One’s approach to his or her profession is the key factor that determines the final outcome of the work involved; however when it comes to wedding photography “approach” becomes even more important, and should be of the utmost concern for a bride and groom when selecting their photographer for that special day.

First a comment on style: Too often photographers are pigeon-holed into being considered photojournalistic, traditional or a mix of the two and, although this has some value, it is far too little information to make a complete judgment, and can be unfair to the photographer. Any good photographer will tell you that he must be skilled at both styles. This is because he must be adept at formal picture taking, while also being able to operate on the fly, capturing the moments as they unfold. Therefore I prefer the term “approach” and will use this term throughout this article so as not to bring about confusion with the oft-repeated term “style”.
