I don’t think it is insulting at all. YOU are hiring him, which means you are paying for him, you are his boss for the night! This is your wedding day, you want it to be special. Just tell (ask) him nicely about some of the pictures you would like for him to take.

Show your sample pictures to your photographer and ask him if he can re-create some of them. Ordinarily, they can and they will…or at least try.

Its not insulting at all. Of course it okay to ask (the worst thing he can say is no i can’t do that) and if he is not up for it get someone who can do exactly what you want. Its a once in a life tie day and you should have it your way especially if your paying for it. Congrats!

I would say go for it. If you are sure that you have selected the photographer you want to go with, then you should ask. The pictures are for you and you want to make sure that you get what you want. Otherwise I would consider switching photographers.

YES- he most likely will be fine with it but remember some of those photos are photoshop and can’t be recreated naturally. So if he can’t do it- let him explain why.

your paying him right?

its not insulting, you are paying for a service, so you want what you want. He may take offense to it, just because you probably allready looked over his portfolio, and decided you liked his work, then you want to change it…

YOU ARE PAYING HIM!!!!! you have every right to say what you want from the photographer.

No, it’s not insulting at all (as long as you only have a few pictures). Just be prepared that your images probably won’t look exactly like the ones you pulled out.

Nope.
Asking a photographer to change his style is like asking Michaelangelo to paint like Picasso. An artists’ style is their style. It’s their voice-and it’s how they see the world.
You were drawn to his work for the reason that you like his particular voice…That being said, you are welcome to ask him to try to recreate a couple of those images, but bear in mind that it will be done how HE interprets that image, and odds are, it won’t look exactly the same. He might appreciate the input of knowing what sorts of images you like, but just know that if he is professional, he will be able to meet your wishes while not compromising his own vision for how to capture those intimate moments of that day.
Voice things that you like, but be respectful to his artistic eye too-give him some freedom to do his style too.

If he is professional, he shouldn’t be insulted. However, asking the photographer to produce work that isn’t consistent with his previous portfolio may wind up proving to be a disappointing experience for both of you. The best recommendation I can offer is that rather than approaching this situation from the perspective of him “changing his style,” show him these sample images in the context of “lets see if there is a way to incorporate the things I like about these images into your style.”

I wouldn’t assume that was ok. You obviously liked the guy’s work and style or else you wouldn’t have hired him. If you prefer someone’s else style, you should have picked them instead. Alot of wedding pictures in magazines are candids that can’t be recreated with posing. You need to discuss this with the photographer and see what he is willing and able to do but be aware that he may not be willing to change his style because it is insulting to his creativity.
