subject: Timeless Images [print this page] (Another rant by the infamous photographer Victor Meldrew)
Oh, by the way this article is supposed to be light hearted; I do not want loads of emails telling me that I am a terrible person. The articles on the site are for you to read when you are fed up looking at the wonderful images of the weddings I have recently attended. I would, on the other hand, like lots of emails asking if I am free to photograph your wedding, and you can casually mention that you are thinking of spending shed loads of cash; that is not a problem.
A wedding is one of the most anticipated events in anyones life. (Pass the bucket) From the moment you met that special someone, you may have been imagining walking down the aisle. Many girls dream of their perfect wedding from an early age, about their ideal dress, location and, of course, groom! (And some think of the fantastic payout after the divorce).
Boys and some men are sometimes a bit more hesitant to envisage marriage, but when they meet the love of their life, they usually find themselves planning their special day with just as much enthusiasm as their bride to be. (Who writes this stuff? Barbara Cartland? It cant be because she is brown bread)
Arranging a wedding can be stressful as well as enjoyable. Choosing venues, clothing and even food can be a challenge as there is so much variety on offer. In Northamptonshire (where your Victor is based) there are numerous picturesque village churches and reception venues to choose from. From hotels to country houses, there are all kinds of locations to fit the theme of a wedding day, both in a rural setting and in town.
Despite care and attention being taken when choosing locations and garments, choosing a wedding photographer is often left to the last minute or not considered as thoroughly. (I knew they were going to get to the bit that interested me) This is unfortunate as the wedding photographs are one of the very best ways to capture moments of the big day for years to come.
(Yes, you are right, the author has been living under a stone; the photographic negative was first invented X amount of years ago, and wedding photography is not new) They are also a great way to allow friends or relations who couldnt attend to experience the atmosphere of the day. With this in mind, it is easy to see how important choosing the right wedding photographer in Northampton actually is (somebody gets paid to write this stuff you know).
The majority of good photographers will have a selection of their work for potential customers to view, allowing them to make decisions based on style and quality. It goes without saying that the very finest photographers may be pricey, (now you are talking) but this can be worth it (but of course). Many will discuss a couples specific needs, taking the time to understand the style of the wedding and the taste of the individual customers. It is vital to take the time to discuss photography needs with the wedding photographer in Northampton that is chosen. (Well, I suppose if you must go and talk to a few other oikes)
A wedding day is one of the most memorable in anyones life, and it is understandable that the couple will want the very best wedding photographer in Northampton that falls within budget. (Budget; who mentioned budget? Get the Old Man to pay thats all there is to it) After all the time spent choosing dresses for the bride and bridesmaids and suits for the groom and best man, the time spent on makeup and hair and achieving the perfect look, it would be a disaster not to capture it with good quality photography.
(Hear Hear) Photographs can be cherished not only by the happy couple themselves, but also by their children and grandchildren for years to come.
(And I can book my next Caribbean holiday I fancy Barbados, Ill stay at Sandy Lane and rub shoulders with Simon Cowell and few other celebs) Although many decide to have their wedding day recorded as a film, it may not always be convenient to play this to relatives, and of course it cannot be displayed constantly.
There is certainly a need for photographs even with the influx of new technologies over recent years. So if you are in the process of planning your dream day, be sure to select the best wedding photographer in Northampton you can. (And we know who I think that is?)
