Approaches To Follow For A Wedding And Pre Wedding Shoot

Worried about how exactly your big day will ultimately be represented in your wedding album? Here are a few approaches that you could work with your photographer to recreate:

1. Traditional

It comprises of the classical posed images that earlier wedding albums used to be about. This technique places a lot of control in the hands of the photographer during the ceremony, who needs to direct the positions and setting. If you want a quaint, sentimental feel to your album harkening back to your parents’/grandparents’ times, this the way to go.

2. Photojournalist

This technique is all about candid images with little photographer interaction. As the name suggests, it was inspired by editorial reporting styles, and is a great way to capture natural, unguarded moments.

3. Fashion-based

This is a more balanced approach, essentially providing a combination of both the above techniques – quick, candid shots interspersed with posed images. This was inspired by editorial fashion photography, and often involves more innovative and dramatic post-processing of images.

4. Themed

This method is specific to a themed wedding, where the photographs have to be in sync (managing the lighting, mood) with the main idea of the wedding at large - like traditional, gothic, beach-side.

Now, go forth and dazzle your photographer with your specialized photography knowledge. May the force be with you.
