Andres Molina for Unsplash CANDIDS This is how photographers refer to informal, unstaged shots; just capturing you and your loved ones in the moment as it happens. They capture genuine, raw emotion and always feature among our favourites. Lori Dejong for Unsplash AMBIENT LIGHT This refers to the light source for your photography being entirely natural rather than from artificial means such as a flash or studio lights. It can also be a style of photography in itself, as use of ambient light brings a beautiful, natural, romantic atmosphere to the resulting images. Do bear in mind though, that during the winter months this may pose a challenge, but your photographer will know the best times and places to utilise what natural light there is and will recommend the use of other forms of lighting when necessary. BLACK and WHITE This sounds simple, and it is! Many photographers will suggest a mix of colour and black and white shots for a timeless, classic effect. Some images just look better in black and white. Most will capture the image in colour in camera and edit in post-production giving you a choice for your final album. COPYRIGHT So, you want to share, share, share your beautiful gallery, but who owns the copyright? Traditionally, it remains with the photographer. However, they’ll likely be more than happy for you to share for personal purposes among your friends and family, but when commercial copyright is required such as use here in our gorgeous magazine or for use in advertising, a completely separate agreement is required. When you discuss your contract with your photographer, always ask them how you have permission to use your images. Boudoir This is an intimate, pre-wedding bridal shoot, designed to empower you to feel confident in your own skin and embrace your femininity. Captured with a specialist photographer in a private setting (hence the name) these are typically gifted to grooms and you’ll be glad to hear are intended for his eyes only. 42
