Oftentimes when doing my shooting sessions people would ask on what format should I shoot. Either it would be on tiff, high resolution, jpeg, raw, etc. The answer is just simple. It should be raw! And make sure you are using the highest resolution available in your camera. Choosing the format is an important thing to consider in taking photos. What gives you options for post image processing is the raw format. Better chances for printing perfect large prints are determined by higher resolution. Maximum resolution available is needed when you need to make a large poster size photos for the couple. What you need to use in taking photos is a kind of digital camera that have an accessory hot shoe so that you can attach an optional flash unit that is designed specifically for your system. This accessory flash is needed to have better light and an alternative flash that is more powerful than the built-in flash of the camera. Every photo you take on the day, even those which are taken from the outdoors, will be done with flash. The flash will provided a very nice even tone of light and thus allow you to sell more photos after the event.
