In deciding on your wedding venue and wedding outfits, it’s easy to see how photography may get lost amongst the list of priorities.
That said, hiring a professional wedding photographer should be one of the top must-haves in your list. Not only will the ensuing photographs become beautiful keepsakes, they will also help you capture the moments you may have missed during the day.
Beyond that, looking at your photographs will take you back on an emotional journey of your big day. For a personal touch, consider using some of these photographs as part of your Thank You cards to guests.
When it comes to selecting the type of style, there are plenty to choose from – film photography, editorial, dramatic, lifestyle and more. You’ll simply have to find the right photographer to match what you’re looking for.

Kompactfaen unabashedly stands out from the rest with its raw and breathtakingly restrained take on everything that transposes during your big day.
Beyond the grand moments, the team prefers to take a deeper dive into the significance of what weddings mean to each individual couple. With that in mind, you’ll be sure to be astounded by how Kompactfaen delivers the emotions felt, the connections made.
“As much as wedding is a joyous event and a celebration of a union between two parties, it is an occasion layered with relief, gratitude, some worries for what’s to come in the future and strong commitment. […] Instead of focusing on an event, we often look for the reason behind a particular event that is planned to happen.
Inspired by late Renaissance paintings and the technique of Chiaroscuro, we tend to mimic low-key, dramatic lighting, stronger contrast and warmer tones to accentuate and convey relationships and feelings across.”
