The wedding portrait session is often the most hectic time during the wedding day. The photographer might be barking orders, people might be missing or wandering off or not paying attention, flower girls or ring bearers might be expressing their noisy displeasure at missing their naps. Furthermore, if the session is before the wedding, people are nervous about the upcoming ceremony, and if the session is after the ceremony, people might be anxious to get the reception started. All in all, it can be chaotic, frustrating and miserable.
However, there is an option that is popular in other countries and is becoming increasingly popular in the United States: schedule the bride-and-groom wedding portraits for a day other than the wedding day.

It's an idea that appeals to many, but just because a photographer claims to be a wedding photojournalist doesn't make it so.
So, how can you tell if your photographer really is a wedding photojournalist?
First, a growing number of newspaper photojournalists are leaving their jobs as the newspaper business declines and getting into wedding photography. If your photographer has been a photojournalist at a newspaper, the chances are good that he/she |
