Wedding photography styles

Chelsea, on November 3, 2016 at 11:17 Posted in Plan a wedding 0 6

There are several different styles of wedding photography out there! Which of these are your favourite?

1) Wedding photojournalism
Wedding Photojournalism is a story telling the style of wedding photography that involves minimal involvement on the part of the photographer. A photojournalistic wedding photographer allows all of the moments to unfold around them while they just naturally use their creative eye to capture and interpret those moments through their photography

2) Fine-art wedding photography
Fine-art wedding photography involves using artistic angles, creative lighting, unique compositions and advanced post-production techniques to create imagery with a much stronger artistic flare. Our wedding photographers are very meticulous about researching scenes and anticipating moments so that we can use fine-art techniques, without interfering with our surroundings.
Fine-art wedding photography starts with an image shot with an artistic finish in mind, most likely not a “say cheese” moment. In post-production, these images are transformed into fine-art using textures, filters, masks, and other advanced Photoshop techniques to create a visually stunning, emotional image.

3) Fashion wedding photography
Fashion photography is a genre of photography, and that focuses around displaying clothing and other fashion items for commercial purposes. This style of photography is popular in large metropolitan areas such as Los Angeles. However, there are several unique photography techniques that are employed in fashion photography, which we borrow in our wedding photography style. These techniques include the usage of unique off camera lighting, fashion-esque poses and expressions, along with dramatic backgrounds. Typically, our fashion influenced the style of wedding photography will only be used at the request of the bride and groom during the engagement shoot/bridal shoot, as it does require some photographer involvement.

4) Traditional wedding photography
Traditional wedding photography typically has quite a bit of wedding photographer involvement. The wedding photographer is seen almost as a type of coordinator, and thus, assists in guiding and directing the wedding

    Yes I agree 100%! My photographer definitely tries different things and she had 2 camera's and that was just for the engagement photos! Also I LOVE candid photos!

    Fine art is beautiful. I just wouldn't want the bulk of my photos like that (personally). I think having a photographer that has a focus, but can do a bit of a few styles is a definite plus!

    I like the fine-art photography! Having the traditional shots is always a good one to have because they cover the typical posed wedding photos!
