Your wedding will be one of the most special, and certainly most photographed days of your life.When planning your wedding, one of the most important decisions you will make is what photographer you will choose. Your photos are not the only aspect of your day your photographer choice will affect; the flow of your event will be as well. The following information can help you be sure to choose the right photographer for your big day.

“Traditional” or “Classic” Photography
This style of wedding photography is probably what you’ve seen most: poses are very formal, staged, and consist of people standing in a number of configurations with the wedding party and family.The photographer will often have a checklist of combination’s, and the photos will be in a fairly limited number of settings because the photographer will want to work efficiently to check off every pose on the list, and moving guests around can be a challenge. The photographer often has a checklist of shots to get, and once those are finished, the subjects are free to return to the rest of the guests. While you can feel secure that you will get all of the posed pictures you want with this style of wedding photographer, sometimes these photos can lack spontaneity.

Photo-journalistic Photography
A popular option in recent years for wedding photography is the photo-journalistic style. Photojournalism is telling, through photos, the story of the day.Therefore, the photographer with this style will strive to convey the series of events during the day through photography. This style of photography does not usually involve a set list of shots; instead, the photographer simply follows the events as they unfold, which will naturally include standard wedding moments. The photo-journalistic photographer will not generally pose his or her subjects, nor will he or she keep track of who has or has not been photographed..

“Illustrative,” “Contemporary,” or “Fashion” Photography
This final style is less common and more abstract in meaning. This style differs from traditional photography because groups are not gathered and arranged in formal poses; however, it differs from photo-journalistic photography because the photographer does intercede with lighting and grouping to take pictures that are not candid. Unlike either, the photographer’s own artistic point of view will strongly direct the look of the photos. While the experience of being photographed can be enjoyable, the photographer’s artistic vision can be very prominent.This style can also be time-consuming and take the party away from the guests.
