Photojournalism
Candid photos are the essence. Photographs are
typically in black & white
and few are aided by flash. The Wedding Couple are
captured in a candid
setting with many groups of people. A few standard
shots are made of the
processional as the wedding party enters. Most
creativity is in the finding
and capturing of interesting scenes of small groups
so as to tell the story
of the wedding day. The story is largely told from
the viewpoint of the
photographer who must catch it all in real time.
After the ceremony, group photos usually take 30
minutes while guests wait
for the reception to begin. In a combination of
Traditional &
Photojournalism styles, the group photos may be made
in color while the
majority of the wedding is still in black & white. A
Photojournalism style
of wedding can be covered entirely in color as an
option at no additional
cost. This may entail more flash augmentation of
some shots depending on
the available light during the ceremony and during
the reception.
Candid photos continue throughout the reception,
such as the first dance,
the father-daughter dance, cutting the cake, the
toasts, kids playing, the
bouquet toss, the garter toss, rice throwing and the
departure in a car or
limo. Many more candid photographs are made at a
Photojournalism style
wedding.
Events are largely discovered by the photographer to
insure a fresh and
candid approach. Most of the photographic challenge
is in the finding the
right moment and using available lighting so as to
avoid flash. Eighty
shots or more are made per hour. Enlargements of up
to 11x14 are available.
Selection photos are 4x6 and displayed in an album.
At least 150
photographs are delivered in the selection album.
Roughly 20% are posed
photos and ceremony shots with 80% consisting of
candid shots. Flash is
only used to augment photographs as needed. Note
that a room with very
little ambient light (as in no windows) will require
greater numbers of
flash shots. Use of color may necessitate additional
flash also.
