Why wedding photographers are preferred professional!

HotShot Productions has been running operations in New York City, New Jersey, and Connecticut for many years now, and has become a name to be reckoned with in the field of wedding photography. Wedding photography is obviously different from still life photography, which is also a huge business in these areas. Still life photography in New York would consist mostly of buildings, museums, and parks, and perhaps gourmet food. Wedding photography is different even from family portraits, taken either in a studio or in a client’s house. Family portraits are often well composed, and the photographer has plenty of time to seat, arrange, and rearrange the people in the shoot, the background, and the light setting. In other words, there is plenty of opportunity for retakes.

HotShot’s Wedding Photographers in NYC, NJ and CT are specially trained and given plenty of hands-on experience before they embark on wedding projects on their own. So, what would the main constraints be for a wedding photographer? Well, firstly a wedding can’t be hosted over and over again! The photographer gets one shot to get his pictures right. This, in turn, implies having an eye for detail, and planning so that all the equipment is in the right place at the right time. The other constraint would be time. In a wedding, several things are going on at the same time. Even as a bride and groom are exchanging vows or being ritually married to each other, there are children enjoying themselves, resplendent wedding guests and hosts milling around, and background arrangements going on. A wedding photographer is not expected to focus his lens solely on the bride and groom but is expected to expertly capture all the other parts of the wedding too: the setting, the food, and the guests. And she is expected to do all this without being obtrusive or too obvious!

New York Photographer | Photography In New York – Hotshotfoto

Ever since their invention in the early nineteenth century, cameras have changed form and technology, and have vastly altered the way we look at the world. From daguerreotypes to point and shoot, camera images have come a long way in helping us document the world and preserve memories.

Today, digital cameras are affordable and highly technologically evolved. Can you think of even one holiday trip or family occasion to be complete without the aid of a camera? However, simply owning a camera does not make one a great photographer NYC, and especially if the occasion to be covered is a family wedding! To be a good photographer, one must not only understand the technique of light and angles, but also have an eye for the right content. Which is where professional wedding photographers and videographers step in?


Based in New Jersey, Hot-Shot Productions are one such company. They are trained professional photographers and videographers and their specialty is weddings. They use high-end technology, but more than that, they have the eye to capture the right moments that make an occasion memorable. Their work goes deeper than that. During a wedding, you don’t want a photographer poking the camera in your face or the harsh glare of the flashlight making your eyes scrunch! The process of wedding photography in New York and videography must be as unobtrusive as possible, so that the subjects of the photographs are caught in their natural poses, with open expressions.


So, a professional wedding photographer must know how to wield his camera without making its presence obvious, but at the same time not miss any of the important moments, and have the right mix of wide angle shots and close-ups. Hot-Shot Productions trains just such photographers and videographers, who will ensure that the wedding is comprehensively covered without the camera or video recorder in your face all the time.


The next step is to compile the photographs, edit them using soft focus or airbrush them, or alter the light exposure and contrast, and to edit the wedding video. The photographs then have to be developed with desired enlargements, and the video set to music with appropriate titles. All of these require the right equipment and also skill and patience and understanding of what will look good in hard copy format.


If you come from a family like mine, you know how we love to go through photo albums and reminisce. A wedding is an event which we like to relive over and over again, because it is so full of joy and fun. And while there are plenty of professional photographers around the world, if you have a wedding in New Jersey or New York City, Hot-Shot Productions is highly recommended for their professional attitude and PA photography and videography skills.
