Photojournalistic Wedding Photography

An alternative to the classic approach is photojournalistic wedding photography. Photojournalists emphasize the capturing of emotion and moment. They rely less on formal posing and lighting, preferring to shoot fast film under available light. In contrast to the smooth tones of a classical photo, the journalistic work often uses grain as an artistic effect, and black and white rather than color.

As part of wedding planning, couples decide on a photography style and work with photographers whose style matches. Often obtaining the right balance of quality photographs of both styles really requires a photographer that is not simply a professional but also has a real artistic talent and understanding of the couples' wishes.

Wedding photographers usually produce an album of work, which they deliver to the bride. Many of these albums have leather bindings and become family heirlooms. Professional photographers invariably keep the negatives and sell prints to the couple.
