DOCUMENTARY/PHOTOJOURNALISTIC Every coming-of-age bride has, at some point, been influenced by the nostalgic feel a documentary has. The flickering film and the blurred images – what would have been a photographer’s nightmare, is now the requested style for added charm. The beauty of documentary/ photojournalistic is that it’s almost always candid; so, for those couples out there who can’t bear the thought of posing, this might be the style for you. The idea is that it captures real life and creates a story through images and film. This style doesn’t require much thought for the bride and groom because there are no set shots – the photographer will be everywhere and anywhere capturing what they can as it happens. benatkinsphotography.co.uk FINE ART An abrupt shift from documentary, we have fine art. As you can imagine from the name, this style leans more on visually stunning posed images; ones that would be great for fashion magazines/ editorial-inspired pieces. These images are very posed, have a lot of thought behind them, and can sometimes be quite abstract. These are the sort of things you’d see in the spread of a magazine or on billboards, to promote the latest designer. westockstudio.com LIGHT AND AIRY When you think of light and airy, I want you to think about pastels, very light, whimsical, lots of flowers, joyful, etc. This formal style of photography can also lend itself quite nicely to fine art or traditional. It follows the classics of a traditional wedding but adds in the design wowfactor you get with fine art. It’s soft and romantic but also timeless! 38
