The Art of Journalistic Wedding Photography
A Little History
In the beginning, a bride and groom would immortalize their wedding by sitting for a formal portrait painting at a remote location. It makes sense that portrait photography would be the first kind of wedding photography as it followed the historical culture of a portrait painting. Candid photography and still-life photography followed as soon as photographic equipment became compact enough to use on-site.
Journalistic photography became a popular style of wedding photography around the year 2000, when photographic equipment met the demands of real-time motion, limited light and affordability.
Each photographic style provides a unique approach for the wedding photographer to discover and capture the moments and atmosphere of a loving wedding day.
