About me
As a wedding photographer, I strive to provide uncompromising quality in the documentation of your wedding memories. Each customized album will be a collection of unique images, comprised of super cool portraits, creative details and spontaneous moments. It is a combination of my pledge to excellence and devotion to bring out the radiance of your special day. You’ll often see me smiling from behind the camera, because I love what I do. You, your family and guests will find working with me pleasant and fun. I’m right there with you through all of the moments of your day. My friendly, easy-going style enables me to bring out the best in everyone, without being overbearing or intrusive. My style is a mixture of photojournalistic, traditional and fine art photography... My goal is to capture as many of the natural moments of your day as is possible; there are times when people need a little guidance and some direction, which is what I prefer over formally posing people. I am the person behind the camera on your day... no substitute or associate photographers. Should your day require more than one photographer that can also be arranged. You won't have to wait very long for your proofs or albums... proofs ready within a week or two and your wedding album package will be ready 4-12 (depending on the season) weeks after you've chosen your album photos. Finding a photographer whose work you love and who you connect with is so important. It is my philosophy that wedding photography should be a team effort between the bride, groom and photographer. Each couple has their own vision, needs and personalities. If my portfolio and approach are a fit for your wedding, I’d love to hear from you. Your wedding photography investment is $2650.00 and is "all inclusive". You can tailor the photography package to fit your particular needs. See the "Pricing" page for more info. Please feel free to contact me for more information. Wedding photography is a full-time business for me, not a part-time, weekend job for extra money! Thank you, for taking the time to consider me for your photography.... Bob Goguen |

Digital Wedding Photography
Digital photography vs. film is a big deal for most brides choosing a photographer. Really, it should not be any issue at all. Digital wedding photography has many benefits that increase workflow and ease of use, which hopefully leads to better photographs. This really depends on the individual digital or non - digital photographer.
Advantages of digital wedding photography include faster post-production (no film to scan in digitally), ease for posting online, negatives in the form of a DVD, and more photos that can be taken on the day of the wedding. Digital wedding photographers have been known to take up to 3,000 bridal images on a single day. For non - digital wedding photographers, no one would ever use up almost 100 rolls of 35mm film in one day.
Documentary photojournalism is a style of photography that has minimal intrusion. Similar to a media photographer recording a news event, the wedding photographer will rarely suggest traditional poses. Instead, the documentary photojournalist will simply record the events of the wedding day. I personally like to call it, "a fly on the wall technique."
Wedding photojournalism is similar to documentary photojournalism - except it has an artistic approach. A wedding photographer may lay on the floor, hop on a chair or tilt the camera to photograph a wedding. Different planes of field offer different perspectives. It adds richness to all of the wedding pictures.
Contemporary wedding photography involves having the cutting edge in photographic techniques and styles. Currently this involves informal photojournalism (whether posed or not) that gives more genuine emotions and reactions. From here artistic styles may or may not be applied to the original image to enhance the effect of the photograph. Most of contemporary wedding photography aims for candid shots from a distance, usually catching original moments.
Posed photography, such as in formals, are usually only for family portraits. Even bride and groom pictures are done using posed photojournalism, where the photographer instructs the couple initially and then captures the couple being natural in that position. Here in Boston and most of the east coast, photographers at the high-end all use posed photojournalism combined with photojournalistic candid photos and artistic, dramatic perspectives.
Artistic Photographic Style
Artistic wedding photography is generally opposite to documentary wedding photography. It involves artistic angles and lighting that pull more out of the picture than usual. This also involves more post production to stylize the photos, such as with black and white, sepia, glows, selective colors, and vignetting. Black and white is not necessarily artistic photography (since it is the original medium of photography) but can be used in varying ways using digital techniques to create something more artistic than the original image. You can see here my explanation on Black and White wedding photography . You will find that most photographers in Boston and Cambridge use B&W effectively in their portfolios.
