Fashion photography, and the trends in that industry, have an influence on the way wedding photographers produce work for our modern brides. Several years back, when I was tasked with finding a photographer for our own wedding, I realised how much contemporary wedding photography had changed since the days of our parents. Whilst I really appreciate the timeless nature of certain photographic styles, modern brides see imagery in bridal and fashion magazines that sets some of the expectations they have for their own wedding photographs.
As a regular part of my working year I feel it important to take photographic training, and this time decided to dedicate a week to attending a fashion photography course with the photographer Bruce Smith. Unlike the last time I attended a bridal fashion training course with Bruce, this course was more generic, covering aspects of getting the right team together, styling, time management and photographing with a story that maps well to the pages of a magazine.
