Wedding Photojournalism is an increasingly
popular style of wedding photography today. Brides who choose photojournalists
to capture their wedding day feel the traditional photography style is
stale and old, they are looking for something new and different.
Photojournalism
is a skill, not just the name of a style of photography. A wedding photojournalist
is a photographer whose strength is in capturing the moments. Often a
photographer using this style has experience in journalism - newspapers,
magazines, etc. This style originated within the news media, and transferred
to other areas of photography, such as weddings. Photojournalists capture
images that tell a story.
The wedding photojournalist usually arrives
well before the bride is dressed and stays until they take last photo
of the bride and groom leaving the reception. The photographer unobtrusively
captures each action of the day, this way the photographs are not posed
or staged. Since the subjects are unaware the camera is there, events
are captured in a pure, genuine state. True emotion is caught and revealed
using this style of wedding photography. Usually, these photos are taken
with black and white film which truly captures the 'storybook' effect
of this style. The end result is a narrative collection of images that
show actual emotions and experiences of the days events.
Choose a wedding
photojournalist to document your wedding day if you want unique photographs
designed to tell the story of your day. This style is right for you if
you want candid and artistic photos, a loose and relaxed way of being
photographed, with a photographer that lets the actions of the day happen
instead of making them happen. |
