Wedding Photography Styles

So what are these styles that wedding photographer's refer to on their websites? In truth they are simply a way that photographers use to distinguish themselves from their competitors. Never a wedding goes past when I don't actually take elements from each. You may have a particular preference for say photo-journalistic wedding photography, but everyone still wants at least one posed group shot as a memory ofthe day. Having said that these categories do help to decide a general preferrence for posed, not posed, group shots or candid photography, so they do have their uses.

Contemporary Wedding Photography.
This is a term that means different things to different people, for me as the photographer it involves a posing style, making the most of the setting, light and the romance of the occasion. They always rate highly on the "ooh ah - ometer" scale. I'm always happy to discuss specific styles and approaches, just let me know or have a look at my tailor made photography page.
