[QUOTE="aroy, post: 343725, member: 16090"] In today's scenario, the importance of still photos are diminishing. After all how many people take prints of their own holiday shots. Very few. It is internet, Facebook and other electronic formats. The video has assumed more importance as the client believes it covers the whole scenario moment by moment, and nothing is missed. So what if the formal stills are missing, you can always check it in the video. I have attended quite a few weddings in my family. When I got married, nearly forty years ago, there was a comprehensive album. After all that was all that could relive the moment. Today, there are hardly any prints - only Facebook. At the most the family will condescend to watch the video. The couple may keep a few prints, that is it. So in my opinion, if the client does not want to be bothered by formal photography, let it be so. Try to capture informal moments, rather than formal shots - that is the need of the day. In Delhi weddings, in many cases the event manager sets up a booth for formal photographs, equipped with lights, strobes a camera and a video. It is upto the event manager to take people to the booth for formal shots. As an incentive for the guests, a printer gives each one of them a hard copy. [/QUOTE]
