For example there is a photography style called editorial which is very soft with muted colours is very directed very edited very posed and really does seem to put an emphasis on things looking expensive opulent and in my opinion a little bit showy offy. Then there’s straight up documentary wedding photography which is pretty much what it says on the tin its documenting the wedding is documenting what actually happened its imagery of people doing things this is one of my favourite styles of wedding photography.
 
Then there’s the old fashioned style which is also known as traditional. And there’s nothing wrong with this don’t let the word traditional or old fashioned put you off if what you want is something that maybe was right for your parents or grandparents, something that is safe and quite beautiful. There`s usually lots of posed group photos with a lot of emphasis on people looking at the camera, there’s nothing wrong with that, but traditional is probably my least favourite wedding photography style as I don’t think it actually tells me anything about the energy or vibe of the wedding day.
 
There’s a modern wedding photography style which is something that I touched on previously and that is the wedding style that I would identify as the most. This is wedding photography that is creative fun and deals with ideas. And lastly there is artistic or artsy wedding photography and this is again very ideas driven creative driven and can get lumped in with editorial wedding photography as it’s quite soft quite look at the camera quite direct and in my opinion overly contrived and when done wrong can actually look quite conceited.
An example of this is a editorial wedding with an artsy feel will have all of the setups the photo of the couple by the car the photo of the couple having an après spirits, photos of the couple doing champagne towers, photos of the couple looking at the camera – it all seems a little bit contrived to me.
