Wedding Photography, Without the Myths: What Actually Matters
Choosing a wedding photographer isn’t about collecting images.
It’s about protecting a day that will never happen again — with calm presence, a clear process, and a final edit that feels true.
Here are seven common myths we still hear, and what matters instead.
1) Film is automatically better.
Film can be beautiful — but the tool isn’t the point.
What matters is a consistent voice: how the photographer sees, edits, and delivers a full story. If you love a film look, ask to see complete wedding galleries, not single highlights.
2) More delivered photos = better value.
A wedding day can generate thousands of frames.
Value is in the selection: fewer duplicates, fewer weak moments, better rhythm. A strict edit makes the story stronger — and easier to revisit, years later.
3) Reportage means zero guidance.
Good reportage isn’t random. It’s awareness and timing.
A discreet photographer doesn’t direct the day — but can guide gently when it helps (portraits, families), without turning your wedding into a set.
4) If it rains, the photos are ruined.
Overcast light is often the softest. Rain can add atmosphere and reflections.
Experience is what matters: adapting fast, staying calm, and keeping the day fluid instead of fighting the weather.
5) To capture emotion, the photographer must be close.
Emotion doesn’t require intrusion.
The right distance is mostly emotional: knowing when to step in for a detail — and when to disappear during intimate moments.
6) A long portrait session is necessary.
Portraits should support the day, not steal it.
We usually keep couple portraits short and efficient (often around 15–20 minutes), so your time stays where it belongs: with friends, family, and real moments.
7) Digital delivery is enough.
A gallery is convenient — but memory deserves more than a folder.
Printing and careful archiving turn photographs into something lasting: a family story you can hold, revisit, and pass on.
A quiet detail in the background — a presence that meant everything to her.
High-key minimalism, and a dress designed by their daughter — two weddings, two different approaches to personalization.
