Photojournalism weddings....
Photojournalism wedding photography is photographing REAL moments as they are happening, in real time, without any prompting, coaxing or directing from the photographer. In fact I'm doing my job best when I'm not even noticed. I don't direct or tell you what to do. It's your wedding, have fun and enjoy the day! BE YOURSELF! That is the only way I can capture the real you!
You won't find the standard "cliche" wedding shots in my photography. I don't try and make my photography look like all other photographers out there. I pride myself in doing it differently!
True photojournalism is much more than a camera merely recording what a person looks like or what they did. Photojournalism is photographing what a person is feeling, and who they are inside, so that the viewer can share those emotions and understand what they felt. The term photojournalism is misused quite a bit in wedding photography these days. Just because the subject in the photo isn't looking at the camera doesn't make it photojournalism. Photojournalism is much more than that. I photograph more than just the material things, I photograph the emotions.
And, yes! I do some posed shots too
Posed photos and photojournalism are like oil and water, they don't mix very well. So my philosophy on formal posed photos is to set aside about 30 minutes to do a formal set of portraits and group photos of you, your bridal party and your families and grandparents. Then I get back to what I do best, photojournalism!
I think this approach keeps your wedding album full of wonderful moments like you see here on my web site and fewer pictures of people standing looking at the camera. And best of all, IT LETS YOU AND YOUR GUESTS ENJOY YOUR WEDDING DAY MORE!
If you feel you want more photos of people standing looking at the camera then I suggest you keep shopping around for a photographer. There are thousands of photographers out there that specialize in wedding portraits, I am a photojournalist.
