What do you guys think of wedding collages?

Downs Photography · 2nd of July 2011 (Sat)

Do you guys like detail collages? If so these were a few I first tried to start doing for my weddings. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks in advance.

I like doing small collages. The widest i go is three photos wide, and I don't like to stack the rows on top of each other, i think it makes it look too busy. I think maybe if you did 4 images (2 on top, 2 below) it can work, but otherwise i think there are too many potos in a small space.

The ones you have here just dont do it for me.

Okay thanks guys.

Nice concept but some of the images were distorted, probably to make them fit the overall size. This is distracting. I agree with Bryan. A smaller collage with fewer images may be more pleasing. Again, nice concept though.

I think there should be some consistency in the organization, and some storytelling done in the collage.

I dont Like it for wedding. I think they lack attention to the shots, all the efforts kind of disappear in the shot

I think some of them are underexposed.

I like collages when done well.

I agree with the others. There are some that look distorted. I see some good stuff in there as well. Maybe don't put that many photos in it, and just put the best photos that also tell a story, as someone put it.

I'm a big fan how this photographer (Kristen Weaver) presents wedding collages

They always represent the wedding colors and details really well without going overboard.

They're kind of a big deal in my neck of the woods. It's almost like you're not legit unless you post a wedding collage on your FB and blog. Kristin Weaver does do excellent work, because she sees the color scheme and works with it, but everyone else tends to look like a damn ugly quilt of photo regurgitation.

$0.02.
