Executive Summary By Paul G. CrawfordHave outlined the main styles of wedding photography available today, although in many cases it is possible for a photographer to shoot in more than one style.
Traditional wedding photography
With careful lighting and expert posing traditional wedding photography creates a perfect record of your family gathering. Reportage wedding photography
Reportage, sometimes called Photojournalistic wedding photography, means literally "to report". This style of photography really is the hardest to perfect. The growth of Reportage wedding photography appears to have coincided with the growth of digital photography due to the low expenses per photograph that reportage style of photograph thrives on. Unfortunately, many new or inexperienced wedding photographers use the "shot gun" approach shooting thousands of pictures during the wedding day in the hope that they capture a few good shots.
With reportage wedding photography you are relying on the photographers interpretation of your day. Contemporary wedding photography
Contemporary, sometimes called Avant Garde wedding photography can mean many different things to different people. Contemporary wedding photography can involve unusual or "off the wall" ideas and use strange camera angles. This style of photography brings more of the photographers personality into the photograph together with the artistic vision or individual style of the photographer. Many wedding photographers use contemporary style images in professional photography awards and you will often see this style featured in glossy wedding magazines.
The downside of this style of wedding photography is that it doesn't really provide a true record of your wedding day.
