Classic<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can\u2019t go wrong with a classic wedding photo, reminiscent of your grandparents\u2019 album. This traditional style stands the test of time.

Artistic<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With \u201cartistic\u201d style, really anything can go and a couple can incorporate their unique creative flare into their wedding photography. You just need to find the right photographer to work with since not all are interested in getting off their comfort level. Artistic photos can be light, bright and casual.

Lifestyle<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Lifestyle photography works to capture a middle ground between a completely candid versus a styled approach. Images are candid and spontaneous, but still have some direction and styling. The result is a more relaxed feeling to the people, moments and scenes from your wedding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dramatic<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dramatic wedding photography is all about lighting effects, contrast, and colors. As the name says, photos tend to be more dramatic looking \u2013 more dark and moody or soft and romantic. They can be quirky or edgy. Dramatic images have an intensity, utilizing light, shadows and high contrast to create a mood that stands out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Photojournalistic \u2013 Documentary Style<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Instead of traditional, posed shots, photojournalistic and documentary styles of photography work to capture the candid moments. The goal is more to depict the \u201cstory\u201d of your wedding day. Photos tend to look more spontaneous and less technical. This style is all about capturing the in-between and more intimate moments.<\/p>\n\n\n
