When it comes to capturing the magic of your wedding day, choosing a photographer and photographic style that aligns with your personal taste and priorities is crucial. Photography is more than just taking pictures—it's an art form that reflects individual vision and creativity. By selecting a style that resonates with you, you ensure that your wedding photos will be a true representation of your unique love story.
Your wedding photos will be cherished memories for years to come, so it's essential to select a style that not only appeals to you aesthetically but also matches your vision for the day. Here are some key reasons why the right style is so important:
Different styles of photography—whether classic and timeless, modern and trendy, or candid and spontaneous—create distinct feels and moods. By choosing a style that reflects your personality and preferences, you ensure that your photos capture the essence of who you are as a couple. This authenticity helps the images resonate with you and feel more meaningful.
Every photographer has a unique approach and specialises in certain styles. Understanding these styles helps you pick a photographer who can capture the moments that matter most to you in a way that aligns with your vision. Whether you want elegant, formal portraits or natural, candid shots, selecting the right style ensures that these moments are captured just as you imagined.
Photographers develop their style through years of practice and creative exploration. Each style has its own set of techniques and artistic choices. When you choose a photographer based on their specific style, you benefit from their expertise and experience in delivering high-quality images that consistently match their artistic approach.
To help you find the perfect photography style for your wedding, we offer a detailed consultation process. Here’s what you can expect:
We'll start with a thorough discussion of your ideas, preferences, and the overall vibe of your wedding. This helps us understand what you're looking for and how best to capture your special day.
We’ll provide you with examples from our portfolio that showcase our own unique style and the potential areas of flexibility. For example, I prefer to shoot weddings with a mix of documentary style candids as well as more editorial images. Both of these approaches have consistent colour grading and editing however, if my client would like more editorial images, then this is something I can easily accomodate. By sitting down and discussing images and the creative approach they were shot with can help you visualise how various styles look and feel, making it easier for you to choose the one that resonates with you.
Once you’ve selected your preferred style, we’ll craft a personalised timeline and plan to ensure that how I approach your wedding aligns with your vision. Flexibility and the ability to adapt to each unique wedding is something I am very serious about as I believe no two weddings are the same, and therefore should not be treated as though they are.
It’s important to remember that photography is a form of artistic expression. Each photographer has their own style and creative approach, developed through years of experience and personal expression. Because of this, it's unrealistic to expect a photographer to drastically alter their style to fit a client's preferences. Instead, it’s best to find a photographer whose existing style aligns with your vision.
Choosing a photographer whose style naturally matches your expectations will lead to more authentic and stunning images. If my style isn’t quite what you’re looking for, I encourage you to explore other photographers who might be a better fit for your vision.
Your wedding day is one of the most significant events in your life, and your photos should reflect that. By choosing a photography style that aligns with your preferences and selecting a photographer who embodies that style, you’ll ensure that your wedding photos are as unique and beautiful as your love story.
