Unique Wedding Photography - The Beauty and Benefits of Working in a College Town


Wedding photography is starting to blaze its own trail in the photographic community. Aside from a few major universities in the area, and with no music, fashion,or commercial enterprise that could potentially feed the growth for a photographic community, photography in Raleigh is blooming. And with the advent of digital camera prices dropping, one may think that wedding photography prices would follow suit. Believe it or not the exact opposite has happened; the bar for wedding photo packages has sky-rocketed.

Listed below are a few Reasons why wedding photographers in the Raleigh marketplace captured great photography.

- Education

Wedding photography is a very technically challenging and often times stressful field to be involved with. I'm pretty sure those currently working as wedding photographers can attest to that. What makes photography sooo stressful? Short time-lines, frequent changes and little to no control of the actual events unfolding, make this occupation attractive to a certain personality type(A-Type) who thrives in a fast paced, ever changing environment. With the technical resources in the area in the form of community, state and private colleges, Raleigh wedding photography is certainly emerging as the "birthplace" of many nationally known photographers.

- Technology

Having a tech-savvy population lowers the initial barrier of entry into professional photography. Without doubt, everyone does not meet that standard; there are some that are just following their passion to become a professional photographer, which crowds the market. While this gives an illusion of a crowded market for consumers, on the other hand, it forces photographers to revolutionize new techniques and produce truly creative and breath-taking photography to set themselves apart from the masses.

- Influences

In metropolitan areas, like New York or Los Angeles, you have definitive styles and the more famous photographers greatly influence the photography styles. A photographer tends to follow their own course and pulls influences from around the country, not just one region, which gives them a very unique style and flavor. Located in the center of a geographically diverse state, photographers can hone their skill sets on the beach, the mountains, sports, fashion shows, commercial, and architecturally very easy - all of which influence their wedding photography

Raleigh Wedding Photographers provides some of the most artistic and accomplished photography in the country. While the market is indeed crowded this really is, in the end, a win for the consumer once they get past the initial pain of sorting through pages and pages of photographers to find exactly the style they are looking for.
