Niagara Wedding Photographer Carlos Marquez is a full time awarding winning photographer in the Niagara Region for the past 20 years and has photographed over one thousand weddings within the Niagara Region and many travel destinations.
What is it about wedding photography that makes people lose their minds? You wouldn’t leave a bunch of surgical tools on a table and expect amateurs to conduct a successful operation. Why would a bride and groom think leaving disposable cameras for their guests would result in stunning wedding photography? Thankfully, a professional wedding photographer like Carlos Marquez has outlasted the disposable camera. Now, Carlos has become one of the region’s most sought after wedding photographers through his company, Modern Vision Photography.
With over 1,000 wedding shoots to his credit, Carlos has developed both the creative eye and the unwavering patience required to capture the most compelling wedding images. Wedding photography has certainly evolved since the invention of photographic art in the early 1800s. It wasn’t until the latter part of the 19th century that couples actually began the tradition of recording all stages of the wedding via the camera. While modern weddings are rarely defined by tradition anymore, Carlos recognizes that expectations are high when it comes to the kind of photographs being taken on the wedding day. A bride and groom want to be reflected in the best possible light; they want their personalities to shine through eternally, and they want their uniqueness reflected in the style of pictures being taken. That means a flower garden is no longer the sole domain of the wedding shoot; today’s wedding photographers understand they have to do more than just choose a location and take pictures – they have to provide creative direction.
A professional wedding photographer must be able to guide the composition of the photograph, posing brides, arranging bridesmaids, avoiding the shots that make subjects look heavy or unnatural. Like an artist using a full palate of colour, a photographer must be able to recognize what works and what doesn’t, and communicate his expertise in a way that doesn’t add stress to the situation. A wedding shoot is a rare moment in the lives of a bride and groom, and unless they’re models they’re probably uncomfortable with the process. A professional wedding photographer like Carlos Marquez can make the situation an enjoyable experience, and reflect that in his photographs.
