For example, if the photographer has a certain type of lens or a particular choice of focal length ;<\/p>\n<p>- The <strong>number of guests present<\/strong> at your wedding. Some people celebrate their weddings in small groups, surrounded only by those closest to them. This means fewer people to photograph, and less photography than a wedding with 120 guests.<\/p>\n<p>- The <strong>availability of guests<\/strong> to participate in the photos can also influence the number of shots that will be taken by the photographer.<\/p>\n<p>- The <strong>event duration<\/strong><span>\u00a0is another essential element to take into account. A professional photographer won't take the same number of photos if he's at your wedding for 6 hours or 10.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>- The <strong>course of the day<\/strong>, the number of ceremonies, the different activities proposed during the cocktail party and the number of interventions or surprises provided by your loved ones during the evening are all parameters that influence the number of photographs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>If you already have an idea of the style you'd like to go for at your wedding, your wedding photographer can <strong>estimate how much<\/strong> of photographs he can take. Don't hesitate to ask him about it.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_image_2 et_pb_image et_pb_module et_block_module\"><span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.lauriecornillon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2021\/02\/photographe-mariage-provencal.jpg\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1709\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" class=\"wp-image-16621 lazyload\" title=\"Provencal wedding photographer\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 2560px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 2560\/1709;\" \/><\/span><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_text_3 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h2>How many photos will I take at a wedding?<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>There is no limit<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>number of photos<\/strong> takes can vary considerably depending on the conditions of your wedding, such as the weather or even whether you're having an outdoor or indoor ceremony. Every couple has their own unique story that needs to be captured in photos from the beginning (the moment they see each other) to the end - including those moments when guests dance so hard their feet hurt before slipping into the cool night air as the waves crash against the rocks on the shore, and all these conditions mean that <strong>the number is never the same.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\"<strong>Quality rather than quantity<\/strong>\u00bb ? Sounds like a pretty simple principle for creating great memories! You want every photo that ends up in an album or on Facebook and Instagram to be one that deserves to be looked at with joy; after all, it will probably stay in your album forever.<\/p>\n<p>The best wedding photographers are able to <strong>to capture and document the great moments<\/strong> and small details in a way that will still be appreciated years later.<\/p>\n<p>Anyone can take a photo. But to really capture the emotion and personality of your subjects, it takes time and practice. That's why so many couples turn to <strong>photographers who are experts in their field<\/strong>. For example, 100 quality photos are worth much more than 1500 photos taken by a less competent photographer who favors quantity over quality.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Quality over quantity<\/strong> when it comes to preserving the memories of a special day, and this is what differentiates an ordinary photographer from a skilled professional who has perfected his art over many years.<\/p>\n<p>On average, I deliver <strong>at least 600 photographs<\/strong> for your wedding and often more, I invite you to consult my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lauriecornillon.com\/en\/gallery\/\">gallery<\/a> to see the photographic style I offer and to contact me to talk together about your beautiful wedding day.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_2 et_pb_row et_block_row\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_2 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_button_module_wrapper et_pb_button_0_wrapper\"><a class=\"et_pb_button_0 et_pb_button et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lauriecornillon.com\/en\/contact\/\">Contact me<\/a><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_image_3 et_pb_image et_pb_module et_block_module\"><span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.lauriecornillon.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/sites\/5\/2022\/07\/photographe-mariage-menton-75.jpg.webp\" width=\"2500\" height=\"1668\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lauriecornillon.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/sites\/5\/2022\/07\/photographe-mariage-menton-75.jpg.webp 2500w, https:\/\/www.lauriecornillon.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/sites\/5\/2022\/07\/photographe-mariage-menton-75-1280x854.jpg.webp 1280w, https:\/\/www.lauriecornillon.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/sites\/5\/2022\/07\/photographe-mariage-menton-75-980x654.jpg.webp 980w, https:\/\/www.lauriecornillon.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/sites\/5\/2022\/07\/photographe-mariage-menton-75-480x320.jpg.webp 480w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" class=\"wp-image-29668 lazyload\" title=\"photographer-wedding-menton-75\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 2500px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 2500\/1668;\" data-original-sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) and (max-width: 1280px) 1280px, (min-width: 1281px) 2500px, 100vw\" \/><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The number of photos that photographers take during a wedding is a frequently asked question.
