Photojournalist Wedding Photographer
My minimalist approach as a photojournalist wedding photographer ensures my images possess an incredibly personal and intimate feel.
I aim to authentically photograph the mood, genuine and believable moments, nothing awkward or contrived.
Wedding photojournalism - a storytelling approach
Wedding photojournalism is not photographing headshots of smiling guests on a telephoto lens. It's not a series of moody black and white images either. The best wedding photojournalism is far more than that. It's an approach that requires artists to work close, an intimacy that ensures collections of images are 'in-tune' with atmosphere and mood. Punchlines can be better timed, relationships understood and dynamics appreciated.
What is wedding photojournalism?
Wedding photojournalism is telling the story of a wedding through discreet photographic coverage with no interference or direction from the photographer.
Wedding photojournalists won’t ask you to pose, and they won’t take you away from your guests for hours during the reception to capture more traditional, posed wedding photos.
Photojournalism, a particular form of journalism (the collecting, editing, and presentation) that employs images in order to tell a story…
I offer a completely hands-off approach during a wedding day. I have no impact on the schedule or the narrative. The final image is a genuine, un-interfered, depiction of a moment.
My hands-off approach focuses on letting couples and guests relax, forget the photographer is even there and simply go about enjoying themselves. I work really hard to build up a great rapport with you and guests alike so that I can get in close and catch those brilliant funny and touching moments that make a wedding so special.
My job as a photojournalist wedding photographer is to be the observer on the day, looking out for those special little moments and to capture the wow ones when they happen.
I will be at the heart of the event, capturing the true essence of your day while remaining unnoticed…
Aside from capturing the emotion and atmosphere, I’m always looking for something a little different. A moment not like anything I’ve seen before. This inspires me as a wedding photojournalist. The one great photograph is what I’m after..
Often it’s the photojournalistic photos like these that have different elements that make them memorable.
