“How many megapixels is that camera”? That’s a question I always hear. Most people believe that more is better but that’s not necessarily the case. “What format do you shoot”? Might be a better question. Bit depth not mega pixels, determine the quality of the outcome. Many photographers will shoot jpeg’s, a compressed file, and then just dump them onto an online gallery for the free color correction upload. This is a time saver for the photographer which probably relates to a money saver for the client, but at what cost? RAW files are massive and allow for minute, subtle corrections in post production, corrections that can make a good photo look great and on your wedding photos isn’t that what you’re after? We believe in quality. We believe that the extra time we take to tweak your images and create magnificent, archival images is worth our time and protects your investment.

What is photojournalism? Many photographers advertise this style of wedding photography even though they combine different styles of photography during each wedding. Maui wedding photographers like Joe D’Alessandro Photography Inc., Maui, will utilize many different styles: formal, staged and photojournalism. Photojournalism is shooting the event as it happens, being on the scene and capturing “the moment”. While this is a dynamic way to shoot, the other styles of photography need to be represented to provide balance to the shoot.
