LI Long Island Wedding Photography
Photojournalistic and Traditional Wedding Photography Styles
There seems to be some confusion about these terms. The journalistic approach means our long island wedding photographer documents the event as it happens with no interruption. The wedding ceremony is a perfect example to demonstrate this style. No photographer (even the ones with a more traditional style) would ever stop and interrupt you during your wedding ceremony. This is the time to take lots of candid shots showing emotion, happiness and joy.
Every wedding however has a photography session dedicated to taking pictures of the bride, the groom and the two of them as a couple. This little photo (and video) session is more similar to fashion, lifestyle or editorial photography. Lets face it, great wedding portraits don't happen by accident. Even the most experienced photojournalist can easily get stuck during this photo shoot without some basic ideas on how to direct the couple. Posed wedding pictures are so much more than just the bride and groom standing next to each other and kissing. The combinations are endless and the only limit is your long island wedding photographer's creativity. The problem with posed pictures is that if it's done bad they look cheesy, stiff and unnatural. It takes experience and practice to create wedding images that are posed yet look relaxed and natural. And guess what, you can still be yourself and have fun in the process!
