Your wedding photos will be cherished for a lifetime, so selecting the right photography style is essential. Here’s how to find the perfect fit:

1. Identify Your Aesthetic Preferences

    •    Do you love soft, romantic images or bold, dramatic shots?

    •    Look through Pinterest, Instagram, and wedding blogs to find inspiration.

    •    Save images that resonate with you and note any patterns in lighting, composition, and colors.

2. Consider Your Wedding Theme & Venue

    •    A garden or beach wedding suits light, airy, and natural photography.

    •    A city or industrial venue works well with moody or editorial photography.

    •    A traditional church wedding may benefit from classic or documentary styles.

3. Understand Different Photography Styles

    •    Traditional & Classic – Timeless, posed shots with a polished look.

    •    Photojournalistic (Documentary) – Candid, real moments capturing emotions naturally.

    •    Fine Art – Soft, dreamy images with artistic composition.

    •    Editorial & Fashion-Inspired – Dramatic, well-styled shots with magazine-like aesthetics.

    •    Moody & Dark – Earthy tones, deep shadows, and intimate storytelling.

4. Review Photographer Portfolios

    •    Browse photographers’ work to see which style aligns with your vision.

    •    Pay attention to their editing style—some prefer bright and airy, while others use warmer, cinematic tones.

5. Think About How You Want to Remember Your Day

    •    Do you want to relive the day through raw, unposed moments or refined, editorial shots?

    •    Choose a style that makes you feel emotionally connected when you look at it.
