Traditional/Classic
Traditional wedding photography involves posed photographs where the subject is aware of the camera. The photographer often directs poses and arrangements to create a more formal and structured photo album. This style ensures that key moments like the exchange of rings, the first kiss, and family groupings are captured in a consistent manner. It’s perfect for couples who want to ensure all the crucial elements of their wedding are documented.
Photojournalistic
Photojournalism in wedding photography is all about capturing the day as it unfolds naturally, without interference from the photographer. This style produces more candid shots that convey the emotions and energy of the day. If you prefer a more spontaneous visual story that captures the natural flow of your wedding day, this might be the style for you.
Fine Art
Fine art wedding photography takes a more artistic approach, with the photographer applying their artistic judgment to create images with style. These photos are often dreamy and beautiful, with a focus on composition, lighting, and background. Fine art photographers typically use film to achieve a soft, organic quality in their photos, making this style ideal for couples looking for something a bit more visually poetic and timeless.
Lifestyle
Lifestyle photography is a blend of directed shots and candid moments. It’s more relaxed than traditional photography but more structured than photojournalism. This style focuses on producing natural images in a controlled setting and is a great option for couples who want their photographs to appear natural.
