Here's an example of an image in photojournalism style: it shows the bride-to-be getting emotional when she hugged her brother right before the wedding.
Here's a different view, seconds later, of the same moment photographed by the second BlackBird Images photographer at the wedding (we always send two photographers for just this reason.)
Every wedding photographer poses some photos... or at least they should. For example, among images we pose are the traditional post-service wedding party photographs; we also work with the bride and groom to pose and create specific photos they've requested. (We then work hard to make them feel comfortable - and it shows.) At BlackBird Images we provide our couples with a blend of posed and candid or photojournalistic photos; it means we take a lot of photos (we average 1,000 to 1,200 during a 3-hour shoot), but it also means our clients get photographs - like the one below - with genuine expressions no amount of posing could produce.
