Okay, you are there, or rather, you are almost there, at this point you are counting down the days to that special moment when you will say “I do”.
You have known the date for months. The location? Obviously, Tuscany -amazing landscape – That was the easiest decision; all the invites have been sent out and well received and you now know the number of guests for the celebration.
What’s missing? The photographer. Take out your Tablet and search for Tuscan photographer. Hundreds and hundreds of hits, thousands of photographers: this choice, the last choice, is getting really difficult. Then you stumble upon words such as wedding photo-reportage and wedding photojournalist. You become curious, it attracts your attention but you are not sure what it means. What is a wedding photo-reportage? Who is a wedding photojournalist?
You have come to the right place. In this article we will explain what is the difference between a traditional wedding and a wedding photo-reportage.
As the word itself says, the wedding photo-reportage is a documentation of the wedding: the story that places spontaneity, naturalness and above all emotions at the centre of one’s narration. The tension before putting on your wedding outfit; the happiness when the groom kisses the bride; the tears of joy of the parents; the fun, the fellowship of friends.
This means no posed photographs, or almost none. The photojournalist disappears in to the crowd, moves with discretion, works “behind the scenes” and uses his camera to write the story of your wedding.
It is important for you to understand that wedding photo-reportage is not just a recent trend. It uses the story of your wedding as a means to capture the most important day of your life. Do not choose it because it is fashionable, choose it because of the uniqueness it gives to your wedding photographs.
Here we are, it is within these lines that you have stumbled upon the difference between wedding photo-reportage and a classic wedding photo-shoot. Ah at last! I am a wedding photojournalist 😉 If you would like more information about my photo-reportage services, do not hesitate to contact me by filling out the form below!
