What are wedding photography styles?

Hi

As individuals we each have a different way of viewing the world some of us are traditional and others have and abstract vision and most are in between these to extremes. 

To find out which style suits your needs check out photographers web sites and faces pages then choose the one you like best

I guess in a roundabout way, they are like anything which has multiple types. Think music, dance, movies, art - I'm sure you get the idea. 

A photographers style ideally should resonate with you and make you feel warm inside when viewing the images, then you know you have found the right photographer. Sometimes a good indicator can be feeling at ease with the photographer really quickly and without awkwardness, though if you are shy it might still happen of course haha.  It's a choice that will come to you on a gut level, so spend lots of time looking around at the local talent before deciding on someone is my advice.

Also, don't get a photographer that just follows trendy ideas, today's trend is tomorrows cringe - want an example? Mullets.

Classic, editorial, photo journalistic, lifestyle 

Hi all. Different wedding photography styles. 

Hmm...here are some that come to my mind. 

1) Candid. eg.  Capturing things as they happen with little interference from the photographer  Avoiding formal or stiff looking poses. You may not always get people looking towards the camera. This can be good but you also want people to be easily recognised and looking pretty good. eg. not eating food necessarily

2) Classic. Keeping the tone refined perhaps and carefully directed photos. Flattering to the subject. Though all styles should be flattering to the subject as much as possible.

3) Informal but gently posed. The ideal combination of candid and classic. Capturing moments as they happen and not excluding guests at all. Inviting the couple to pose for "romantic moments", both pre arranged and spontaneous

4) Artistic. Something you would expect your photographer to be looking for whichever style they lean towards. Could also mean fashionable. eg. moody lighting, dramatic backgrounds or landscapes. Magazine style. Also a willingness to try something unusual.

Mostly  I think that photographers would use a variety of styles to suit the feel of your wedding.

I hope this helps you when choosing a good photographer for you. :)

Natural & candid

A mix of Formal and street photography always relaxed the aim is to capture the person in a natural relaxed  pose even the formal stuff is done with humour and fun getting the clients to work with the Camera

To be 100% honest it is more the experience you have with the photographer. My clients I want an easy going, relaxed and candid experience. My clients do lots of chatting, laughing and having a good time. Get some nibbles and forget the whole photoshoot thing.

Some clients are looking for a more posed or editorial experience. Editing is either light and fluffy or dark and moody. 

Hope this helps?
