Wedding Photography Styles

We're frequently asked to describe our "style" of wedding photography - it's a question that lately seems to show up a lot in "Questions to Ask a Wedding Photographer" guides. So what is our style? Our style is... making sure our clients get what they're looking for. While that may sound like a cop-out answer, it's not.

Every wedding client is different. Some couples like a photojournalistic style, where most of the photos are candid and natural. Others want a very formal style, with nearly every photograph looking as if it was posed. Most couples want a blend of styles: some posed, some semi-posed, and a number of candid photos to choose from.
We work very hard to create outstanding posed photographs, especially the post-ceremony wedding party and family photographs. What we're most proud of, though, is our ability to capture candid moments. That's why we send two photographers to every wedding: our couples get multiple perspectives, multiple angles, and the broadest and most comprehensive coverage possible.

Our style is making sure our clients are delighted with their wedding photographs and with our service. We adapt to our clients' needs; we don't expec them to adapt to a pre-conceived notion of "style."
