Wedding Photography

According to the Wedding Photo Journalist Associations Meghan McEwen, Photojournalism is the newest trend in wedding photography with candid shots all the rage. Like many brides and grooms, your wedding could be the first time you ll be hiring a creative professional. You might think the ins and outs of working with a wedding photographer are as simple as writing a check. What could be so difficult, right. But just ask any talented pro, and you ll get a grateful explanation of why its so important to truly understand their creative process. How you manage your relationship with a wedding photojournalist can have just as profound an impact on the photographs as the day unfolding before the camera. Luckily, you and your photographer both want the same outcome: amazing photos that capture the feeling of the wedding day. Key Advice for a great relationship with your photographer according to the Wedding Photojournalist Association:

1: DON T DIRECT
This is the biggest pet peeve of wedding photojournalists far and wide: brides, grooms, parents, reception coordinators, bridesmaids, DJs and various other guests who give constant direction about what, when and how to photograph the wedding. No photographer likes to be given constant art direction. Remember: you ve hired a wedding photojournalist, because they don t style photographs. Not only is it annoying, but perpetual third-party direction also takes away from the creative element of documentary style wedding photography. Directing is the antithesis of the natural, unscripted moment.

2: COORDINATE WITH OTHER CREATIVE VENDORS
Often times, brides and grooms don t think about coordinating the styles of all of the other creative pros they ve hired to cover their wedding. If the videographer has a style that involves a lot of direction (like making you put on your dress five times), that may not create the best situation for a wedding photojournalist who doesn t take any staged shots. He also recommends letting all of your other vendors know about your photographer s style. That way, they won t be interrupting or trying to pose shots for her.
