Wedding Photography

Wedding Photography Toronto Wedding Photographer Bard Azima has been photographing Weddings for the past 7 years. You've heard it before, but it's a truism. All you have left after your special day are the wedding pictures. So, it's important to select someone with the technical know how, the style you're after and the right temperament for you. We are living in a time when every Tom, Dick and Harry has a digital camera - and some of these folks build a website and become 'photographers'. Now, all Professional Wedding Photographers, like Bard, started somewhere. The thing is, do you want to be the guinea pig for an amateur photographer looking to build their portfolio - just because they are giving a surprisingly good price - and the 30 pictures on their website look pretty good? There is no substitute for an experienced Wedding Photographer because the photography itself is only one component of the job - most of the rest of which come with years of on-the-job training. Next, increasingly, couples are looking for Candid Wedding Photography (aka Photojournalistic Wedding Photography). Bard's style has a photojournalism bent but he has found that many couples think they want a full photojournalistic approach, where once you actually sit and talk they realize the importance of the the more traditional shots. With Bard you get the best of both worlds - Photojournalistic, without forsaking all the important set shots. The combination of the two works beautifully where you get plenty of 'magical' moment candid shots, as well as the gorgeous created shots. With regards to your budget and packaging, Bard has come up with photography packages designed to give you all the goodies. In order to cut costs, some Wedding Photographers offer picture packages that do not even include any physical pictures. Bard feels strongly that the first time the newlyweds view they're wedding pictures it should not be on a computer screen, especially since most people's screens are not calibrated. Besides, how unromantic is it to see your wedding pictures on a computer screen. Furthermore, what you get from Bard are not proofs but Custom Colour-corrected and Enhanced Prints, with each picture individually dealt with. Very few Wedding Photographers do touch-ups and enhancements on all of your pictures. They usually only do so on the Enlargements. Individually Enhanced and Colour-corrected prints take much longer to do, but that is what you get with Livingface Wedding Photography. Regardless, Bard is open to modifying his packages to suit your needs. The packages are there as a guide - as a starting point in the conversation. Some of what is offered is certainly not necessary, though they add wonderful touches to the Wedding Photography package. These include: (1) Engagement Shots, which gives Bard and the couple a chance to spend some time before the Wedding Day. That 90 minutes they spend together creates a connection so that on the Wedding Day when Bard shows up the Bride & Groom will barely notice him because, after all, it's just Bard. Secondly, Engagement Photos are great to have, not only because it is a before and after, but they are the perfect picture(s) to use to frame and put at the entrance to the Dining Hall at the Reception; (2) DVD Slideshow - yet another component that's unnecessary and yet a wonderful encapsulation of the day, put to music of your choice. While a Wedding Album can a lot for friends to go through, the Slideshow is short, sweet and captures the emotion and power of the day beautifully; (3) Thank You Cards - while most consider this a necessity, depending on the budget, they can be done without. Still, how many newlyweds don't send out Thank You cards? Not too many. At the end of the day, Bard does his best to include all of the above because he wants to. In these trying economic times, his pricing can be flexible depending on the Couple at hand. Bard understands how the Wedding Budget can get out of hand and he wants to give his couples as much as he can - at a price that is win-win. You will receive your entire package within one month of the Wedding Day. There's nothing more frustrating than having to wait an inordinate amount of time for your Wedding Pictures. Just visit wedding forums on the internet to hear from frustrated Brides about how long it's taking them to receive their Wedding Photographs and Videos. And the longer it takes to get the pictures, the less emotional connection you will have to them and the day. After all, while your Wedding Day is so incredibly special, life moves on, especially in our hectic society. Bard knows you want your pictures, and you will have them in good time. Bard's Approach: Easy-going and unobtrusive. Ideally, it will seem like he's just another friend along for the ride - except he takes timeless wedding pictures that you'll cherish forever. On what is most likely the most intense day of your life, Bard exudes calmness and confidence that will put you at ease. Oh, and he's nice guy. You'll have a fun day with him. After all, your Wedding should be a great time. Searching for Wedding Photography Toronto? Try Livingface. You'll be ecstatic with the results.
