Wedding photography is a specialized form of photography focused on capturing the essence of a wedding day. It goes beyond simply taking pictures, aiming to document the love, joy, and emotions of the couple and their guests. A wedding photographer's role is to preserve the memories of the day, from the small details like the wedding rings and floral arrangements to the larger moments such as the ceremony, the couple’s first dance, and candid moments between family and friends.

The process typically begins with pre-wedding shoots or engagement sessions, where the photographer can get to know the couple and their personalities. On the wedding day itself, the photographer’s job is to capture everything from the bride’s preparation, the groom’s anticipation, the emotional vows, and the celebration afterward. This may involve a combination of posed and candid shots, depending on the photographer’s style, which could be traditional, documentary, or a mix of both.
