How it works. * FAQ. |
        |
With so many professional photographers to choose from, especially here in San Francisco, it's no wonder so many couples feel overwhelmed.
When you choose your wedding photographer, you're not just buying a service, you're investing in memories. That's why you should consider carefully the options available and seek a talented photographer whose style fits your personal vision of your wedding day.
The following information will help you understand the wide range of wedding photography options, making it easier to find the right wedding photographer for you. We've put together several examples, representing the range of styles used by professional wedding photographers. A basic understanding of these styles will save you plenty of time and trouble when it comes to choosing a photographer for your wedding.
Wedding photojournalism:
This has become a very popular style of wedding photography, featuring a series of candid photographs covering the entire wedding day. Benefits: Wedding photojournalism gives you a series of unique photographs designed to "tell the story" of your day. Drawbacks: There is no pre-planned "shot list," only the photographer's instincts; the images are unpredictable. Low levels of available light may cause some photographs to look "grainy." The couple may regret the absence of traditional, posed portraits in their wedding album.
Illustrative wedding photography:
This is a mix of both traditional and wedding photojournalism styles. The illustrative wedding photographer places the subjects in certain settings to take advantage of good lighting or beautiful backgrounds. Then, once the scene is set, the couple and their wedding party are free to be themselves, and this results in a more spontaneous feel. Unlike the photojournalism style, illustrative photography takes advantage of the photographer's artistic judgment rather than simply capturing a series of moments.
Setting your wedding photography budget:
It's always a good idea to interview several wedding photographers before deciding on a dollar budget. Otherwise, it's hard to determine the cost of photography that suits your tastes. You'll also get a feel for the variety of styles available.

FAQ
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.
