Wedding Photography Styles: Traditional vs. Photojournalistic

WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY STYLES

Wedding photography styles can often be a daunting decision for couples as they plan their big day. On one hand, traditional wedding photography captures timeless, posed shots that showcase the formalities of the occasion. On the other hand, photojournalistic wedding photography captures candid, spontaneous moments as they happen. While traditional photography captures the grandeur and elegance of the event, photojournalistic photography tells the story of the day through a series of candid, unposed images. Ultimately, it comes down to personal preference and what style best reflects the couple’s unique love story.
