Liam Smith Photography Showcases Award-Winning Wedding Photography

Joseph Nicephore Niepce and Henry Fox Talbot are widely credited with inventing the wet plate photographic process in 1826. Through the beginning of photography, couples did not often pose for pictures during the wedding and instead posed for a photograph in their best clothes after the wedding. In the late 1860's, more couples began hiring a photographer to capture pictures of them at the wedding venue. Producing photographs was labour intensive as well as costly and was reserved for the wealthy members of society who could afford to preserve their memories.
