Cracking the Code: Understanding Wedding Photography Styles
Cracking the Code: Understanding Wedding Photography Styles
Wedding photography styles are as diverse as snowflakes - from traditional, staged shots to candid, documentary-style images. It's important to understand the different styles of wedding photography to find a photographer whose style syncs with your own.
Here are some of the most popular wedding photography styles:
1. Traditional - this style features staged shots of the bride, groom, and wedding party.
2. Photojournalistic - this style captures spontaneous moments throughout the day, with minimal direction from the photographer.
3. Fine Art - this style creates artistic and creative images that are often heavily edited.
4. Alternative style - this style creates images that are true to your personality and representation and usually combined with a documentary, honest and authentic approach
5. Luxury - this photography is captured by a multi award winning professional photographer, providing a fantastic customer journey, communication and final product
5. Documentary - *this style is all about capturing the day as it unfolds, with little to no direction from the photographer.
Take a beat to think about the style of wedding photography that resonates with you, and then look for a photographer who specialises in that style.
*We are known for our unique documentary approach at weddings and luxury alternative style in and around Rutland
