Modern trends in Wedding Photography

Least possible posing coupled with a candid documentary style of shooting pictures best define photojournalistic wedding photography.

Photojournalistic photography has replaced conventional styles to a large degree. This new style focuses on photographing moments filled with romance, feelings, and the whole day as it develops.

In other words, it narrates a story, it shoots moments as they happen without the instructions from the photographer's side.

The theme you select for the wedding has an important role to play in this case as this photography style echoes your personality.

You'll require the right kind of prop items and backdrops to capture the essence of your wedding's theme.

It may be inside water photos, or something lively like cycles and balloons, almost anything which shows an actual glimpse into the couple's chemistry.

Many couples wish to spruce up their wedding day with a lot of glamor and shimmer.

A magazine cover style of Wedding Photography York is what they can use to add a fashion oriented touch to the wedding photographs.

Close ups, sophisticated posing, dramatic lights, and different camera angles are all important in achieving trendy pictures you see on magazine covers.

These wedding photos usually require very creative photo editing for the final touches.

With the comeback of vintage couture, an increasing number of couples have started to opt for wedding themes which have an antique setting, whether it is the decoration or their props.

Such settings call for a photography style which catches the vintage mood.

The use of lights, camera positions, and black and white renditions are all necessary so as to make the photos truly classic.

This photography style also needs heavy photo editing.

The couple do not always find enough time to pose for pictures on the wedding day as they're preoccupied with too many things.

Great pictures of the bride and groom and those with the family and friends can be shot at leisure a day before or after the wedding.

In this way you will also get to shoot what happens behind the scenes, funny instances, and the true setting at the wedding. Such photo sessions a day before or post the wedding will let you preserve the memorable times that are created with so much effort.

Nowadays photographers choose a combination of these styles to ensure that there's nothing you have to miss out on.

Inquire the photographer which styles he is familiar with. One-to-one communication, a bit of imagination and a handful of new your ideas are the important elements of an exceptional wedding photo album. Therefore, feel free to share your thoughts and suggestions.

Two years ago I took Mike and Rowena Rogers wedding photographs at The Hospitium in York.

This year I sent them a sample of the photographs as a thank you for being wonderful co-ordinators and venue hosts. Looking through my web statistics I noticed a lot of visits from The Hospitium website and was pleased to find that they liked the photos so much they are now using them to advertise the venue!

The two photos they chose to use are Mike and Rowena walking through a glade of trees and Rowena chatting with friends at the reception..

I was invited by my good friend and fellow photographer Annemarie King to come along for a super sunny wedding this weekend.

I have known Annemarie for a few years now and we each bob along on one another weddings when we have the chance. It's great for us as we have such a ball trying to out do each other with the best photos and it's great for the couple as they get two fab photographers (can I say that about myself?) shooting for them.

It was the hottest day of the year and Jamie told me that he had booked the weather especially for Claire. Here is Jamie getting ready and having a little trouble with his winsor knot.


Claire had chosen a wonderful fairy like wedding dress with fairies and wild flowers as their theme.


They held their wedding at the Church of St. Botolph at Bossall in North Yorkshire. The priest was a family friend who had seen Claire growing up from a young age. Here he is contemplating his service before Claire and her father arrived.


The Bridesmaids arrived by black cab which was decorated in wedding ribbon. It proved to be a great way to arrive as the doors were large enough to get in and out easily. If you'd like to book the taxis you can contact Ian or Dave on 01904 791739.

Claire and her father were greeted at the Church by their priest.


I cheekily moved up the aisle to capture this fun moment

One guest had left a present for Claire and Jamie on the top table, a knitted wedding cake!


Annemarie's mum was one of the guests and I took a quick photo of them when I saw them together.
