Traditional
Characterized by its highly posed and formal imagery, the traditional style
most frequently involves shots which are "set up" before being taken.
This style involves a list of standard poses from which the bride and groom
choose. This is a very classic style that is not fully utilized in the
modern event photo shoot.
Illustrative
A largely contemporary form of event photography, this style utilizes the
event participants more as design elements. Placing the subjects in
unusual settings and approaching the pictures from different angles, this
style is typically an art form for the photographer and is more spontaneous
than traditional.
Photojournalism
Using this style we capture the event as a series of spontaneous, unposed,
shots that document the event. Primarily because of its highly
impromptu form and style this is a very popular form with today's modern
couples.
Fine Art
Giving the photographer full creative expression, the Fine Art form
is best known for its inventive use of lighting effects and angles.
Highly stylized imagery characterize the event photographs. Images
frequently appear more as works of art or paintings, rather than
photographs. This style requires quite a bit of commitment from the
participants.
High Fashion
A marriage of techniques typically used by the fashion
industry with photojournalism, this style often depicts the participants
(especially the primary participants) as if they have just stepped from the
pages of a fashion magazine.
Now that you know a bit about the common styles that are used in the
industry, let us tell you what we normally provide.
