Which Photography Style is Best for My Wedding?

Before we look at the different types of wedding photography styles, you are probably wondering – How do I know which style suits my wedding the most? It’s easy, all you have to do is look at different photographs before filtering through wedding photographers. After doing this, you will then reflect on what you want to see in your wedding day images.

Wedding Photography Styles

Traditional

In case you prefer a  folklore wedding a traditional approach can suit you best. When it comes to traditional wedding photography style, just try and remember the pictures on your parent’s wedding album. Timeless, classic, and laid back is the theme here. This is a popular style because it captures every detail from smiles to perfectly knitted dresses and suits.

Candid

Wedding photographers skilled in candid shots capture what is happening at the moment and move a lot to capture various expressions, quite popular at family portraits or holiday portraits. In this style, there is no posing or directing, the photos are taken even without the subject’s knowledge in order to capture the mood. 

Documentary

For wedding destination enthusiasts that are interested in documentary wedding photography in Greece then you are the perfect fit for me! If you want your wedding photos to tell the story of what transpired on that special day then candid wedding photography style suits you most.  

Wedding photojournalism is my style and I adore it since each time I do capture authentic moments.

A documentary wedding photography style is mostly ideal for couples that appreciate a story-focused and journalistic approach.

Similar to other documentaries, a wedding photography documentary will showcase the events occurring in your wedding from one point to another. This style is excellent at capturing each special moment and it is the best format to use when showing your kids and grandkids in the future. To enhance its appeal, documentary photography is often in black and white.
