The first wedding photographer that I have decided to research is Neil Walker. After looking at his website I found a liking for his style of photography, which is very vibrant and fun and it stands out from other photographers.
I think that Walker would work best with a younger couple who are to be wed. After looking through the photography on his website I noticed that he works well with wedding
s of other cultures, due to their natural, vibrant lifestyle it fits in perfectly with his editing style and the way that he shoots. After looking at his photography it inspired me into my own photography.
As well as doing a wedding photography shoot, I am focusing mostly on the bride, which is something I've noticed Walker does to. The bride of the couple I am going to be working with is also chinese which will bring an oriental theme to the photographs and the wedding which will allow it to stand out more so.
I did my research of Neil Walker before I did my photography at the wedding. Because I have never had any training in this sort of photography the only way that I could learn how to get the best pictures was to research talented and well known photographers in this area of photography.
When shooting at a wedding Walker knowsthat all of the special bits of the wedding have been pre planned and obviously the guests want full view of the bride and groom. Therefore he stands in the background and shoots w
ithout taking control, this way you can ensure that every photograph is their natural look and feeling at that moment in time, it's not all fake smiles, fake tears when being told where to stand and look. I think that this is vital for a photographer especially for weddings, when looking back in years to come you can see and feel the same emotions as you did at that moment.
Due to the emotional connection within a wedding, Walker insists he meets the couple before the wedding to learn about the couple, as in their personality, who they are, what they want and all the other basic knowledge of the wedding.
