 What is Journalistic Wedding Photography? "Journalistic" wedding photography is a style that emphasizes real moments in the course of the wedding day, rather than doing a lot of posed photos. The background of a photojournalist is quite different from a conventional studio photographer in that the photojournalist is trying to catch images of life as it naturally occurs. Studio photographers are more comfortable with predictable situations-planned poses and lighting. The difference between the two can easily be seen in the energy (or lack of it) in the images! As weddings are evolving from traditional rituals into celebrations, so has the interest in having photographers that can capture the essence of the event-from beginning to end. A good photojournalist can relate events of the day in the form of a photo story which literally has the day unfold to the viewer. Every effort is made to photograph the event, but not be a part of it. While using as much natural light as possible, the emphasis is on presenting the many facets of the big day-the preparation, the excitement, the festivities, the guests... Do you also take posed photos? Yes! There are several instances when posed photos are important. Particular photos with family, friends, and traditional post-wedding photos of the wedding party and families are incorporated in the work. Studio lights and infrared technology help these planned images have high quality, yet be done with speed so that the guests won't be kept waiting! What types of packages do you offer? The most popular package includes: Engagement photo session Formal portrait in studio Unlimited time frame for the wedding day A minimum of 10 rolls of film (approx. 300 photos) Two sets of prints of every photo Two albums to hold all prints The negatives (Yes, negatives go with the client!) Options include: Rehearsal Dinner coverage 5by7 and 8by10 custom albums Complete reprint services What other packages do you offer? Every wedding is unique, and smaller or larger packages are available. The approach remains the same, with the variants of time and film consumption affecting the price up or down. |
