Does it matter? I’ve had both, and to me, I’d say, “No It Doesn’t Matter At All”.
What matters most is that I get to know the brides and grooms that I photograph. I want to know what kind of people they are. I want to know what they like and what they dislike. Do they like to pose or do they prefer candids? Out the many many weddings I’ve photographed, in my entire wedding photography career, I’ve only been asked twice “Do you shoot with Nikon or Canon?”. And both conversations ended up being a fun conversation anyway. Hehe.
I love Nikon and I love Canon in different ways. But when the tyres hit the road, my aim is to have a great time capturing your wedding no matter what the camera tool you put in my hand. It’s my job to figure out which tool works better in which situation and it’s my bride and groom’s job to have fun and have an amazing wedding day. That’s really all there is to it.
Here is a list of things that will help us get to know you better:-
1) We’d like to meet you over a quick coffee a week or two before your wedding day
2) Do tell us what are the important details that you want photographed eg you’ve stuck “I Do” stickers under both your shoes, etc
3) Keep us updated if there are any last minute changes to the flow of events
(and if a longer checklist makes you more comfortable, just ask us and we’d only be too glad to furnish you with one) Hehe.
Explore and Enjoy!

A great moment captured by Johan! PS: Without looking at the exif data, can you tell which image was taken with a Nikon or Canon?
First one Nikon and second Canon? =DNow I know why I wa afraid of taking wedding photos for strangers as I dun know what they like. Thanks for sharing Johan!
@tianchad most welcome tianchad!
looking at the skin tones, i guess the first pic is by canon and the second pic is by nikon ! :P
@Irvin not bad, Irvin.. errr… i myself can’t remember.. hehe. you can confirm the answer by checking the EXIF, but don’t let the cat out of the bag just yet, ok? hehe
care to make a guess which photo is which system? haha.. all in the name of fun fun fun! hehe
LOL…if you post the raw photos then I can have better guess! :)
lol..
I should reword. I f you post raw photos then my success rate is 80%. I shoot Canon and my 2nd photog shoots Nikon. I know every pixel of them…hehehe
Haha
@StoriesMY so true. What matters most is the man behind the camera. Re: canon vs nikon
first picture taken by canon, and the second one with Nikon??? hey! y no pentax???????
@Germaine Germaine, good guess, i guess you are right! hehe.. Pentax?? (if i maintain 3 systems, i’ll surely pengsan one.. haha)
Thanks for sharing Johan…..Ever since i realize that wedding photographer is not only as simple as pressing the shutter and capturing moments, i do starting to pay more afford on how to communicate with client, how to get to know more about them before pressing the shutter….Now, thanks to ‘stories’ ,certainly i’ll pay much more afford in it…..hehe
@LeongCheeOnn most welcome, Jake! thanks for dropping by our website :)
hurray!!!!! i am right!
@Germaine yay! hehe
Awesome! Some got it right! :)
Actually I can tell which is which, but yes you’re right, the brand doesn’t matter. =)
If you used both before, It is not hard to differenciate the 2 photos above :) but i do agree with you Johan….It is the man behind the camera (lady in this case for Grace :p) that counts :)
Stories, all the best in 2012!
