--Your wedding photos are a precious keepsake of an event that can't be
repeated. As you make plans for the big day, perhaps you're wondering: "Who
should be responsible for taking the pictures? After all, Uncle Bob (or
whomever) takes nice snapshots at our family gatherings. He might be willing to
give it a try." Well, maybe he would. And it's great to have friends and family
members taking pictures at the wedding,too. But before you call on Uncle Bob to
be your official photographer, give some thought to how his efforts may stack up
against those of a professional photographer.
Finding Out What You Want
--Uncle Bob is doing you a favor, so how demanding can you be? You might give
him a general idea of what you want, such as loose-and-candid vs.
formal-and-posed. Then you hang up the phone and hope your picture-taking is
in good hands.
--Mark Anthony,an 18 yr professional photographer, is an experienced advisor,
who can help explore what you really want,and then do it. Not just candid vs.
posed, but indoor vs. outdoor portraiture, color vs. black-and-white, finding the
right portrait location and capturing the most important moments including
pre-wedding activities and family traditions. Every variation you can think of, and
maybe a few that you never imagined.
-- Shooting with the Good Stuff
-- Uncle Bob will probably use the photo gear he already has. That might be a 35
mm SLR (single-lens-reflex) camera with a couple of lenses. Or maybe a
point-and-shoot model with hopefully a new set of batteries for the flash. His
favorite film may or may not be appropriate for a wedding. In fact, he may just buy
whatever brand is on sale that week.
Mark Anthony,an 18 yr pro, has a set of professional cameras, lenses, flash units,
and accessories, including back-ups. He knows which lens to use for a romantic
close-up, and which one is right for the whole dance floor. He knows how to light
a scene. And he uses professional film or digital film that's perfect for the
occasion. White gown, black tux, pink bridesmaids' dresses, red flowers, delicate
skin tones -- whatever the subject, the images will look great.
-- Staying Focused
Uncle Bob may be your photographer, but he's also your guest. At the beginning
he's sure to be full of enthusiasm. After a while, however, his attention may
wander. Perhaps he'll forget to take a group shot of Table 9 (the in-laws he's
never liked). Or be loading
his camera when the first dance begins. Bob has taken on a lot of responsibility,
and even if he volunteered for the job,he may be burdened by it.
Mark Anthony knows what you want, and knows how to get it. He is attuned to the
rhythms of the event, including the absolutely essential highlights and the more
relaxed, revealing moments. He knows how to gather people for group shots,
and make them all look good. He knows when to get close and when to back off.
The bottom line is that
a pro is a knowledgeable outsider at the wedding, who is there to fulfill your
desires without spoiling your fun.
-- What Comes Next?
Uncle Bob will take your wedding film to his local processing lab. Maybe at a
discount store or drug mart. Almost certainly not a professional lab, which makes
prints to the demanding specifications of pro photographers. If all goes well,
Uncle Bob will hand you the packets of negatives and prints. Then you're on your
own.
Mark Anthony,the professional,digitally masters your photos in his exclusive
studio,and takes all film to a professional lab, which specializes in the type of film
he uses. The lab's printer is optimized for this film as well, so color and exposure
are right on. Mark will post all your digitally mastered photos on Pictage.com,the
world's greatest proofing site,where you review your photos at home in comfort.
With the photographer's advice, you pick the images for your album, and those
for your parents and other relatives. You choose a size and style for each album.
Maybe you even order enlargements of the best shots, for framing on your wall.
Mark Anthony,your personal photographer, working with the same professional
lab, arranges and takes care of everything.Prints from 1/2" in for lockets up to
30" x 40" for your den.
Your wedding takes only a few hours, but you will enjoy the photographs for a
lifetime. Why not use a photographer who will make them as memorable as the
event itself?

reserve your day and preserve your precious moments...
