Wedding Photography
If you are here, it’s likely that you are getting married, so first things first CONGRATULATIONS!
When you choose your wedding photographer, remember you’re investing in memories, not just hiring a service. So choose a photographer whose style fits your personal vision of the wedding day. Wedding photography these days falls into three main styles, traditional coverage, a photojournalistic approach, or what has been coined illustrative wedding photography.
Traditional Wedding Photography:
As the name suggests traditional style wedding photography has been around for a long time, this style incorporates a selection of carefully posed key moments such as; the rings, the kiss, cutting the cake, family shots and so on. When shooting a traditional style wedding photographers will often use a shot list so everyone can be sure you get the shots you want. However this can mean that the photographer acts as an official and directs the wedding party and guests to suit the list, as you can imagine this approach can be time consuming and even labourious.
Photojournalism Wedding Photography:
This style is a much more contemporary approach to wedding photography, and is very popular with well-known and unknown photographers alike. Here the wedding photographer acts more as a fly on the wall, capturing the moments of the wedding as they happen, and letting the wedding flow without interuption. This allows for images that are unique to the couple and become real memories of how the day passed. Like traditional style there are drawbacks, with less planning images may become noisy in low light and without a shot list there is a chance you might miss the classic shot you have always wanted.
Illustrative Wedding Photography
This is my style of wedding photography! Illustrative wedding photography is based on the best of both traditional photography and a journalistic approach. While I attempt to allow the day to flow as you wish, I am not afraid to step in on occasion to help you get the shot that you want, or even the one you didn’t know you did. As the day progresses I might ask you to move to a more favourable location for lighting while still letting you carry on putting on makeup, buckling your shoe or having a drink to calm the nerves. Simply put, we capture all the love, laughter, family and friends in the best light and location.
