Can I use digital camera for my wedding picture and expect the good quality of photos?

I am under a tight budget, but, would like to have at least a nice wedding photo.


Since I've heard so many stories of bad pictures done by professionals, and they are so expense, I am thinking just using a digital camera.


And can you help me with tips to maximized the quality when taking picture with it?

A couple of things you need to remember. The higher the DPI (dots per inch), the fewer photos your card can hold. Next, if your photo is 1800 DPI, but your output device (printer) is only 300 DPI, the photo will only be 300 DPI.





I would take the photos with the highest DPI available and then take them to a professional photoshop to have the developed. Many shops like this will print your images onto regular photo paper and you can tell them ahead of time which images you want printed.





Good luck.

I just purchased on of those "one-shot" cameras from Wal-Mart. I took it back, had them developed, and for a few dollars more, the photos were placed on a CD and I was able to send photos over the Internet. Good luck and God Bless your union. Report It

Reply:Don't expect professional quality from your shoot. Go with a friend and scope out the places the wedding and reception will take place. Take pictures of your friend to capture the light conditions. You might have to play around with the settings and maybe add additional strobes. You can also have others help you take pictures at the reception by placing disposable cameras on the table and let them shoot.
Reply:wedding is the most memorable moment of life. A person shud make these moments long lasting n for this reasons he portrayes the events.


I think if "professionals" have not done their job well then they are not the professionals. Also think that who is gonna use ur digital camera. Can he be able to create a magic.


the moral of the story is that : GIVE AN OTHER CHANCE TO A REAL PROFESSIONAL
Reply:Do yourself a favor and hire a professional for the job. There maybe times where some professionals cannot deliver what people expect from them. But for sure you WILL NOT get what you want if you don't hire a professional for the job.
Reply:I seriously suggest you keep asking around until you find an affordable pro you like. There's much more to it than just the gear.


* If you ask a friend/ relative to shoot your wedding, they'll be running around all day as the official photographer, not as a guest.


* A pro has a list of 'must-get' shots that a novice might not think about (or remember on the day). Pros also have a knack for directing people in order to get those shots. This is required even for a photo-journalist style of coverage.


* A pro should have no trouble finding great locations and poses for the formals.


* A pro should have a good eye and a great understanding of his gear. Even so, they generally take +1000 shots and only show you the best 400.


* After you pick the shots you'd like for your book, pros that work with digital spend a few more hours tweaking the final selection in Photoshop. (Add time and completely different skills.)


* As for the gear, you'll want a (digital) SLR with expensive, fast lenses and a good flash system, a backup for every item, and a ton of batteries and film/ memory cards.


So if you do ask a friend for the job, be realistic and precise about what you expect from him/ her!
Reply:I am sure the digital pics will be fine. The way cameras have been upgraded and how they have come a long way. Just practice shooting pics from distance, close up, etc. This will help with the wedding day so no one will have to guess.
Reply:Just use the highest mexapixel camera you can get your hands on and put it on a tripod and use good lighting.
Reply:yes you can. make sure it has over 3.5 megapixels. a zoom feature and preview a plus. you allso need to see how well it works in bright situations, pending if it will be outside. also see how much storage comes with the camera..dont get stuck with just 12 photos when it needs extra memory storage. also you can either print out your photos or take them to walmart and have them print them for you.
Reply:If you use a standard digital camera (4-5 Megapixels) you won't have good enough quality to really reprint quality photos. A lab may tell you that you can get 8 x 10 out of it on the highest setting, but you can't hope for anything better.





If you have a digital SLR, a 11 Megapixel or higher, you should be able to get good photos yourself, set on the highest setting.





If you're not sure - see if a local college has a photography student that is willing to help you for a discount price - you will probably still get excellent shots. .
