Popular Wedding Photography Technique

A photojournalistic wedding photographer tells the story of the wedding day from start to finish. Many couples are using photojournalism to capture their memories.

Wedding photojournalism is a candid, documentary-like approach to photographing the wedding day and telling the story as it unfolds. Rather than staging and creating elaborate shots, photojournalists learn to “be there” at the right time to capture the moments naturally.

How Popular is Wedding Photojournalism?
Ten years ago, photojournalism was a radical innovation in wedding photography; now it is quickly becoming the norm for more and more couples. Its popularity is on the rise as brides and grooms seek to be more unique and authentic in the way they capture their wedding day on film.
Almost all professional photographers incorporate some degree of photojournalism into a typical wedding package these days

Parts of Wedding Photojournalism
The album of a true photojournalistic wedding is never exactly like any other, because the unique moments of the wedding day dictate the mood and flow of the photos. But in general, most photojournalistic weddings include shots of:
•    Bride getting ready before the ceremony
•    Wedding party and family socializing before the ceremony
•    More “artistic” or “modern” shots during the ceremony, focusing on small details like the shoes and stance of the bride and groom
•    Bride and groom exiting the ceremony venue
•    Bride and groom hugging well-wishers in reception line
•    Candid shots of reception guests
•    Dancing at reception
•    Bouquet throw and garter toss
The candid photos are usually black and white to add a timeless touch to photos that would otherwise seem ordinary.
