WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY GENRES

WEDDING ALBUMS

DO YOU NEED A TRADITIONAL WEDDING VIDEO?

Do you know WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY TYPES? What if you go for editorial for example and end up being disappointed because your editorial wedding photographer took you for a two hour long photo shoot, mainly focused on your shoes and dress and missed all the fun, emotions, personalities and those real moments that made your wedding so unique?

How about a WEDDING ALBUM? It’s nice to have a wedding video too – but have a think if you really need a snooze fest of a traditional video that’s longer than a Lord of the Rings movie? Maybe you’d prefer a SHORT & SWEET CREATIVE FILM instead?
