What style is best for you?
It is common for people to want a slice of both styles. The reasons are simple: it’s a good time for portraits because everyone is looking their best, and on the other hand the bride and groom want to remember their wedding day the way it really happened.
Traditional Style Wedding Photography may be best for you if:
- You want your photographer to be the director of your wedding.
- You want to spend a lot of time posing the bride and the bridal party. You want to know when you’re being photographed.
- You’d like to pose with all your family and guests. You think candid images, for example: a wedding shoe simply lying on the floor is pretty silly.
Photojournalism Style Wedding Photography may be best for you if:
- You want lots of candid images of your guests. You want to know your photographer is working, but not worry about it.
- You would like to spend as little time as possible on family portraits and go on with the wedding.
- You don't want a bunch of photography equipment everywhere.
- You like candid photos such as: a flower girl and ring bearer whispering to each other during the ceremony.
You may not be able to answer a clear yes or no, but the idea is to give you a clue of what you should expect. Consider this, every photographer is in business. Their objective is to sell artwork. Keep in mind, when you hire a photographer; you are not buying a bunch of photos. It’s the skill, experience, and the art that you are paying for.
