Documentary wedding

photography

 

 

Also know as photo-journalistic (or simply journalistic) or reportage wedding photography.

This style of photography is not new at all in generic terms, but it is relatively new to wedding photography. It has become increasingly popular in the recent years. It is characterised by a natural approach from the photographer who follows the couple and the guests throughout the day while recording the events of the wedding as they happen in an unobtrusive manner.

 

A documentary wedding photographer is story teller, through pictures.

 

 

The main goal of a documentary photographer is to make a narrative story out of the wedding by capturing natural and honest moments rather than setup poses. This method is all about observation, anticipation and spontaneity. These images convey genuine emotion with an added charm based on the photographer’s artistic vision and perception. Many reportage wedding photographers accommodate formal shots as well.
