Special occasions call for a special kind of photographer, and few occasions are more special than your wedding day. You do, after all, only get one of them (well, that's the idea anyway) and so the photographer needs to capture anything and everything as perfectly as possible in order to preserve your perfect day. It's a big responsibility, and as you can see, some people take that responsibility very seriously indeed! Compiled by Bored Panda, this behind-the-scenes look at the world of wedding photography reveals the hard work and dedication that goes into taking the perfect wedding picture.

this shot also proves how much altering is done for the final image

No, it shows what proper lighting will do to change an image. If he had only used the ambient light it would look roughly the same as the before picture. Using different light allows for different exposures to be achieved. I'm willing to bet that this image was created 99% in camera.

Why would anyone want a "stormy sky" for their wedding/wedding photos?

It's called day for night and requires a flash....no major altering here folks

I liked his effort to get the reflection, but not sure why he made the end result dark !

It's not the same background. This "final" pic is not the shot he is taking in the "set-up". Look at the grass along the fence, the width of the water.. .? No? Anyone?

Actually its not a lot of altering. The change in ISO settings and shutter speed plus the light on the couple (that you can see behing the photographer in the first shot) creates this effect.

WHY ALL HE HATE? BECAUSE I T MAY BE MANIPULATED IT IS WRONG? BECAUSE IT IS NOT HOW YOU WOULD APPROACH IT IS WRONG? BECAUSE THEY MAY HAVE USED PS OR LR IT IS NOT BEAUTIFUL? ONE EVEN CALLED IT EVIL AND A DISGRACE!! LET'S FACE IT, THE ART FORM HAS EVOLVED PERIOD. IT MAY NOT BE YOUR STYLE SO GET OVER YOURSELVES. IBLOWSHEEP YOU DO REALIZE THIS TWO IMAGES ARE SHOT BY 2 DIFFERENT SHOOTERS, CAMERAS, ANGLES, LENSES, WB, FLASH AND EXSPOSURES, YES? DOES EVERYONE HAVE TO BE A STREET PHOTOGH WITH LITTLE (DODGE & BURN) TO NO EDITING? PERHAPS THIS PHOTOG DOES HAVE IMAGES LIKE THESE IN THEIR GALLERY? I CANT STAND THE BACK STABBING AND CRITICISM IN THIS INDUSTRY. THE CRAFT HAS BRANCHED OUT INTO SO MANY DIFFERENT AREAS , SO EMBRACE IT! OR NOT!! AND FYI I AGREE THE BASE OF THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED BY PROPER EXPOSURE & SPEED LIGHT! QUIT HATING!! STYLES VARY!!

Lovely shot. It's 100% HDR edited even if the togger did capture the darker ambiance with the off camera flash and an ND filter the sky contrast and pop of the dress is 100% edited. You can see as he/she missed a bit of masking on the 2nd gap in the fence in from the left, 2nd row down. It's lighter than the sky above and the cross bar on the gap above has a halo where the mask wasn't close enough. Still a alush photo though and I'm only picking because people getting stroppy over whether it's HDR processed or not.....go ahead and pick my work apart. Search for "Justin Krause" x

Nuh-uh, that gap in the fence and the halo are just areas where the cloud layer is thinner, just as right above the fence.

Simple under-exposure, and light added. Very little post-processing involved. Nicely done.

I just had to think about the poisonous spiders, snakes... Isn't it risky to lay there?

Nope. Not taking my gajillion dollar camera into the surf. Unless the couple is paying for its replacement!

Some of these people must have serious money to go getting their wedding dress all wet in ponds, lakes and ocean surf.

Chairs, ledges, very little escapes the "I need height for the shot" list that we photographer will climb up.

Bet this one turned out great too. Apparently to see any finished wedding photos I'll have to google "Wedding photos".

Considering the other photographers' extreme poses, I would never choose to wear white as a photographer :D

Yeah, but that pampas grass in the background. That's going to make an outstanding backdrop.
