Wedding PhotoGraPhy

WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

They are two primary approaches to wedding photograpahy that are recognized today
- Traditional and Photojournalistic.

Traditional wedding photography provides for more classically posed images and a great deal of photographer control and interaction on the day of the wedding. Photojournalistic wedding photography takes its cue from editorial reporting style and focuses more on candid and unposed images with little photographer interaction. These are 2 extremes and many of today's photographers will fall somewhere in the middle of these two style.

A third style that is becoming more and more in demand is a fashion-based approach. In contemporary/fashion-based wedding photography, photojournalistic images of the events of the day are combined with posed images that are inspired by editorial fashion photography as would be found in magazines like Vouge or Vanity Fair.
