Yes. Or somebody in the family who is a keen hobbyist. My nephew's girlfriend did ours and we thought that the results were great. We didn't want any formal posed shots and were happy with a more casual and spontaneous approach. Of course it all depends on what the couple want. Digital photography helps since all shots can be previewed immediately and taken again if necessary and, as long as the camera is of high enough resolution and quality enlargements should not be a problem. On the other hand digital prints should be done with good quality paper and ink since cheaper materials will lead to fading faster than prints from film.NHG said:This kind of project may suit someone in a camera club or someone starting out in the profession if not already a professional photographer.
Vanilla said:Killarney is a major venue for weddings- if they haven't already booked a photographer they would be very lucky to find one at this stage. We had a professional photographer for our wedding ( in Killarney) and I thought he was very good. Like a lot of things in life, you get what you pay for. However, having said that, my youngest brother was married a couple of years ago, and not having a lot of spare cash, asked a relative with no photography experience to take photos. He has some very nice photos to show for it- not professional, and you can tell the difference- but still lovely. The rest of the family took the usual photos and anyone who took a nice photo sent them to him so he ended up with a very nice collection.
Whoever does it needs to be able to do this especially if the couple want posed photos.NHG said:and I would be a bit embarrassed standing up in front of everyone to take the photo's and I can imagine the reply I would get when I ask them to turn this way and that, whereas someone they don't know they will do whatever they are asked.
If you pay them accordingly.I am sure a good photography shop would do some fine tuning before printing if necessary.
If this is because you are the candidate for doing the photos then you should pass on it and let somebody else do it.Its probably just me panicking
