Different Styles of Wedding Photography

You wedding day is one of the most important milestones of your life! You spend a fortune on flowers, stationary, place cards, a gorgeous wedding dress, a make up artist and so much more. Your personality, your style, who you are goes into those details.. maybe you like elegance or maybe you like dots and stripes and lopsided cakes. Whatever, and whoever you like there is a wedding photographer out there for you. There are photographers who shoot in different styles that would do a more adequate job capturing your day the way your envision.

The most popular styles of wedding photography in today’s market are…

1. Photojournalism

Photojournalism is the art of capturing moments unobtrusively. Normally you barely know that the photographer is there. He/She normally covers weddings with large telephoto lenses (although not always) and tries not to get in the way of the story as it unfolds. They normally don’t like shooting posed family photographs or posed bride and groom photographs preferring to capture moments as they really happen. This style of photography takes mastering. The photographer needs to know their equipment extremely well and it basically needs to be an extension of their body. If you are going to hire a photojournalist make sure that they person has many years of experience as it is a difficult and artistic method of photography.

2. Illustrative

This photography is usually a creative person who loves design and elements of color and texture. This person will pose in new and different ways, maybe laying the bride on the floor or shooting from strange angles. The photography will set up fun posed shots and instead of just posing and shooting they will have the subjects interact together to capture spontaneous moments. This style of photography brings more of the photographer into the photography. This photographer’s artistic vision and use of lighting, design elements and texture is more artistic. They do not just wait for things to happen and capture them. They will often makes things happen.

3. Traditional

Although traditional photography still has it’s place in the modern photography world it is being pushed aside by more illustrative and photojournilistic styles of shooting. You see more traditional photographers that are older and have been in the industry a long time and have not changed their ways or you will see it in the lower end beginners as it is any easy style of shooting that does not take much creative input. Tradition style photography is posed and can follow a photography list. It is stiffer in it’s style and does not allow for mush spontaneity. This is sadly a dying breed. Although most photojournalists and Illustrative photographers still do some posed photography especially during the posed family shots with the bride and groom. So it still has its place.

The best photographer is a photographer that has the ability to shoot photojournilistic and can capture most of the day as quickly and masterfully as a true photojournalist but that will still give you the fun artsy look of an illustrative photographer. Someone that will prompt some fun stuff and still be able to do posed family shots for mom.

Jim Croce Photographs & Memories: His Greatest Hits $6.85 Until his untimely death, Jim Croce was a force to be reckoned with on radio playlists.

Miracle $5.91 In collaborating on Miracle, Celine Dion and her partner in baby love Anne Geddes carefully sidestepped the L-word–a smart move, considering that the songs captured here, despite their electric-blanket warmth, aren’t always lullaby-like in their delivery.

On Photography $81.25 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles On Photography is a 1977 collection of essays by Susan Sontag. It originally appeared as a series of essays in the New York Review of Books between 1973 and 1977. In the book, Sontag expresses her views on the history and presentday role of photography in capitalist societies as of the 1970s. Sontag discusses many examples of modern photography. Among these, she contrasts Diane Arbuss work with that of Depressionera documentary photography commissioned by the Farm Security Administration. She also explores the history of American photography in relation to the idealistic notions of America put forth by Walt Whitman and traces these ideas through to the increasingly cynical aesthetic notions of the 1970s, particularly in relation to Arbus and Andy Warhol.
