You can find two approaches to wedding photography that are recognized today:

Traditional and Photojournalistic.

Traditional wedding photography provides for more classically posed images.

Photojournalistic wedding photography takes its cue from editorial reporting styles and focuses more on candid and unposed images.

A third style that is becoming more and more in demand is a fashion-based approach. In contemporary/fashion-based wedding photography, photojournalistic images of the events of the day are combined with posed images that are inspired by editorial fashion photography as would be found in magazines like Vogue, Vanity Fair, and so forth.

Far more important to her, and to us, is the fundamentals of good photography. In a whirlwind of technological advances nothing seems to ever stay the same. Truth is, the fundamentals of good photography will never change.

That’s where is all starts. Master that and you have 99% of your digital photography challenges mastered.
