Welcome
to the Barrie portrait studio that takes your wedding photography seriously.
Welcome to Harder Photography.
In
Barrie wedding photography can be practiced by just about anyone able
to hold a camera. In Canada there are no licenses required to call yourself
a professional wedding photographer. Virtually anybody can open a portrait
studio. Does this make this person one of the excellent Barrie wedding
photographers? Barely. There are many components to good wedding photography.
Among other things outstanding wedding photography requires a sound basis
of technical knowledge of camera and lighting equipment, color coordination,
composition, etc. But most importantly professional wedding portraiture
is about studying people, about capturing the essence of their personality.
Someone can study the basics and technique of portrait photography in
school. To really excel in it a photographer has to keep on learning continuously.
Excellence in wedding photography is much more about maturing as it is
about learning new tricks. Really good wedding photography is a lifelong
journey.
Wedding photography runs in Gerd’s family since several generations.
His father, grandfather and great grandfather have all been professional
wedding photographers. He started learning his trade as a very young boy
watching his father taking portraits with an wooden camera.
Over time Gerd Harder has fine tuned his artistic skills and came up with
a body of work which is unmistakably recognizable as his creation. He
is drawing from thirty years of experience when creating your wedding
photography. In the greater Toronto, Muskoka and Barrie area Harder Photography
has evolved into a wedding studio which excels in creative portraiture.
It is catering to a clientele that is demanding a different kind of image
unlike what can be found usually. Known for its excellence in studio portrait
photography Gerd has in recent years increasingly photographed his patrons
at their Toronto home, Muskoka cottage, a local beach etc. On location
wedding photography allows him to capture a more representing image of
his clients. In the comfort of their homes they are at ease to open up
to the camera. Plus clients choosing on location portrait photography
are not depicted on a neutral studio background. They are portrayed in
the environment which is part of their lives, created and decorated by
themselves.
If
you are living in the greater Toronto area and are looking for an experienced
professional wedding photographer give Harder Photography a call to see
what they can do for you.

Enjoy.
