A good place to start when making decisions about wedding photography is choosing the colour tone of your pictures. For example, would you prefer full colour for a vibrant and energetic feel, black and white for a formal, posh presentation or sepia for an antiqued look? Each tone says something different about the wedding and the bride and groom. If you can’t decide, do your engagement photos with the same photographer who’s shooting your wedding and ask for some pictures in each tone; that way, you can decide which tone you like best before you get married.

Location is another important element of you wedding pictures that should not be overlooked. Luckily, Vancouver brides have many enviable choices when it comes to scenery. Stanley Park, various beaches and downtown skylines all make perfect choices. However, the 2010 brides have the added advantage of getting married at the tail end of the olympic year: make sure you get some pictures in front of the Vancouver 2010 rings and in front of the Olympic Flame. Even if it rains, umbrellas will only add to the story of a happy couple getting married in the olympic city.

Lastly, consider how many pictures you want to have taken of guests and relatives. Some couples like the energy of candid group shots taken throughout the night and others prefer more pictures of the bride and groom by themselves. It’s a purely personal choice but one that should be carefully thought out and discussed with the wedding photographer you have hired. At La Novia, we want to make sure that you get exactly what you want and Lorilee is always able to take your suggestions and turn them into magic.
