Often the genre categories merge a little. This image starts to blend into the edges of reportage because it is telling you about the human interaction and motion. Hotel Palumbo has the added advantage of being able to see half of the Amalfi Coast by night. Lively parties lend themselves to reportage but if things are a little quiet a photographer may have to revert so some night portraits to liven up an album.



Personally I find the ideal number of guests is between 50 and 75. Twenty is an absolute minimum unless you have rock star guests. I recommend just the two of you as apposed to 8. But there are always exceptions to every rule. I do not recommend wedding over 160. I once did a wedding of four hundred and fifty people and the bride and groom were tortured. . I think there were just the right number of guest at Ortensia’s wedding, it was a great deal of fun.
