    I’m not really sure. I’m hoping to have some traditional shots, but I’m also really hoping to get some good candid shots.

    I like the photo-journalism style, since I am not really photogenic when I'm asked to pose haha.

    Our photographer is a mix of photojournalist, which I prefer due to the candids, and classic. She is very creative when it comes to posing, which I unfortunately am not good at due to not being super photogenic.. but she is also phenomenal at capturing candids which I notice I usually like those more because it shows our personalities more.

    We didn't really have a style in mind but wanted a good mix of candid photos and posed photos which we got.

    Our photographer's eye is a mix between photojournalist and fine art. She's done two of our friends' weddings and the result was just stunning. A great combo between candid shots and portraits.

    Our photographer is very much into posing you, so a traditionalist i think. As long as they capture our moments i'll be happy Smiley smile

    I'm not really sure the different between styles. Our photographers said they are more photojournalist. I want a mix of candid and posed and from their albums they do a good job of that.
