The History of wedding photography

 You've probably heard of wedding photography, and you know, but do you know where and how this photography started, or directly called photography history?

 Let's learn about the history of this wedding photography. Like the technology of photography, the practice of wedding photography was developed and developed in 1826 after the invention of the photographic art form by Joseph Nickefor Nipse.  ... Until the middle of the nineteenth century, most people did not pose for formal wedding photos at weddings.



 The history of wedding photography dates back to the early 1840s  During this time, the commercial use of photography was very low, but the idea of ​​creating a wedding day was already born.  Due to the limited equipment component, wedding photography remained studio photography for a century.  There were no paper photographs, multiple photographers, albums in the 0000s.  There was only one daguerreotype picture on a small copper sheet  As the years went by and the photography was produced and presented, the technology changed.


 Prior to photographic paper, photographers used glass plates, tiffin sheets, and copper sheets.  In the early twentieth century, the production of color photography became possible, but the process was very unreliable for professional photography (until the 1950s).  Shortly afterwards the colors shifted and faded, so the photographers continued to work with black and white films.  The invention of new materials used for the production of technology photography films and improved chemistry for its processing, until the end of WWII, the marriage photography ques remained the same.


  The idea of ​​capturing the event was born during the "wedding bomb" after World War II  Created lucrative opportunities for wedding shootings without a contract or in a “fantasy”.  Using their new portable roll film-based camera and compact flashlight, photographers will show up, shoot weddings and then try to sell the photos to the bride and groom.  Some of them were military-trained photographers, but most were attendees who took advantage of the portability of the small, newly designed camera.


 Despite the low quality results, these photographers created competition and forced studio photographers to start work on the spot.  Trying to emulate studio settings, photographers have to bring heavy photography equipment and plenty of light to the wedding venue.  While it was almost impossible to document the entire wedding using a limited amount of expensive film, open shots were also given after the ceremony.


  Traditional wedding photography of beautiful poses has been practiced for more than a hundred years in a studio or using studio quality lighting: until the early 1970s it was the only style of wedding photography.  A dynamic change in the photo industry has evolved from a traditional wedding photography style to a new style of wedding photography journalism or documentary style: in other words, the style that captures marriage.  This style was misinterpreted as a series of snapshots while requiring serious skills, talent, and experience, which can take any 35mm camera-equipped entertainment.  It opened a gate for weekend shooters, who could get away with a lot of honest shots and sell it in the name of wedding photography journalism.  While both styles have advantages and disadvantages, most of them are still not the primary style for most professional photographers today.  Driven by the glamorous look of classic photos that have their place in the cover of wedding magazines and the technological advantages that allow modern photographers to make a wedding documentary in a low-key way, consumers are more likely to mix wedding photography.  With the invention of digital photography, new creative opportunities were created  Digital cameras allow for an unlimited amount of photography and better design opportunities taken into the deeper coverage of the event.  While traditional film photography is still widely used, it is clear that the future is digital.
