Reportage Wedding Photographer
The term "reportage wedding photography" has been circulating within the wedding industry for some time now, and it represents a style of wedding photography that is increasingly gaining popularity. Thus, I've composed this page to elucidate its true essence and how it has shaped my approach to wedding photography over the years.
Unlike traditional wedding photographers who often dictate and control the flow of the day by orchestrating posed shots, incorporating gimmicks, or spending the morning capturing mundane details like hanging up the wedding dress and photographing flower arrangements, I adopt a different approach. Many find these traditional methods frustrating to witness, as the resulting photos often lack narrative depth.
Reportage wedding photographers, also known as documentary photographers, employ a style and approach that essentially equate to the same thing. It's about authentically capturing the narrative of the day, steering clear of formal posed shots or contrived setups like placing shoes on a window sill. Instead, the focus is on documenting the genuine moments, reactions, and interactions of guests, friends, and family members.
My goal is for the couples I work with to peruse their wedding photos and discover special moments they might have missed or been unaware of amidst the hustle and bustle of the day. It's about encapsulating the laughter, the tears, and all the poignant memories through beautifully crafted and emotionally resonant photographs.
What is reportage wedding photography?
"By letting the day flow naturally, you are free to be yourselves on your wedding day. Just turn up, bring the energy, and let your personalities shine"
It's about about creating emotional and powerful images that evoke a feeling in the photo that will last for years to come. A reportage style lets you relax and enjoy your day, forgetting about the photographer and focusing what's most important, celebrating your wedding day with your loved ones. I work hard to blend in with your guests and make them comfortable with my presence from the get go, this allows me to get up and close to the moment, and not miss those special touching moments.
