Old Wedding Colours
putting Colour Weddings in the Shade
Wedding photography is one of
the most important decisions that an engaged couple
is likely to make; should it be: traditional;
classical; contemporary; artistic; reportage;
digital; colour; sepia; black and white or pick n'
mix perhaps? Whatever the decision though, it
should be remembered that ultimately, the
photography should be about the wedding; not the
wedding about the photography.
Here at PhotoGenre, we
specialise in stylistically innovational imagery in
Black, White and Shades of Grey or to put it
another way, our speciality is black and white
photography; for many, the new colour on the block
which isn't actually the case for in actual fact
it's been in use for wedding photography since the
very earliest days of photography; indeed well
before colour processes even appeared from over the
far distant horizon.
Black and white wedding
photography sets a mood and atmosphere that many
think colour simply can't match. Compared to
colour, it provides more contrast between light and
dark, highlight and shadow; hence the eye is drawn
more easily around the composition of the image.
Wedding portraits can benefit from black and white
photography because harsh or uneven skin tones that
can come out badly on a colour photograph aren't so
distinguishable. Also the emotional content of the
picture is greatly increased in black and white
photography while the lack of colour provides
increased atmosphere and in years to come, an acute
sense of nostalgic romance.
Black and white photography
holds time and history in place somewhat better
than colour photography does. It vividly captures
the beauty and the glamour; the fun and the
laughter; the passion and the romance; the
exuberance of the celebrations and creates a
collection of artistic, lively and innovative
wedding photographs that are as every bit as unique
and special as the bride and groom are.
The elegant and romantic nature
of black and white photography is perfectly suited
to weddings. It brings out the occasion, preserves
the moments, simplifies the perspective. Black and
white wedding photography gives a classic and
timeless feel to your wedding collection and even
works extremely well with artistic and reportage
styles of coverage.
While many couples opt for
complete black and white coverage of their wedding;
to give full coverage of the special day; various
colour images can be blended into the chosen
wedding photography package. Using black and white
wedding photography in addition to colour, can be
an attractive addition to the finished wedding
album. And of course, while
the elegant and romantic nature of black and white
photography is perfectly suited to most types of
wedding album, it's the coffee table wedding book
in black and white that evokes most conversations
with friends and family. Have your wedding images
presented with the same style and elegance as your
favorite hard cover coffee table book; each
photograph a unique moment of your wedding day; a
wedding book of love, romance, a sense of fun, a
work of art.
Forget the old days when the
traditional wedding album collected dust in some
unknown drawer. Today's artistically designed
coffee table wedding book blends into its
surroundings; can be left, where else but on your
coffee table, so that friends and family can find
genuine find pleasure as they browse it's pages of
elegantly presented images.
