Calgary AB (Alberta) Wedding Photographer Peter Horwood provides exquisite Formal wedding photography to customers in Calgary, Alberta and surrounding Rosarito Mexico and indeed, has travelled the world for his customers.
The formal style is also known as the 'traditional' style. These are a series of fairly standard formally posed pictures. In many of these pictures the people in the pictures are looking straight at the cameras.
Up until about 1990 (depending on locale and other factors), this was the most popular choice by most brides. Some people look at these pictures as "elegant", others look at the same picture and say "boring". Not only that, but as people become older, their preferences change and what may have looked boring 10 years ago looks wonderful now that they are older.
Peter (Madman), for most weddings includes a large number of traditional formal style images. It is one of the three primary styles that he uses in most weddings. Of course, if you prefer not, he will agree to leave these out, but most people realize that even if they don't want these "now", they may change their mind in years to come. Your wedding pictures will be come a family heirloom in the future, and for the minor inconvenience, you can enhance the heirloom, making it timeless.
Of course, a Wedding by Madman is not strictly about the Formal style. There is also the Natural Love style the Photojournalistic Style and the Pure Fun style.
