Different photographers shoot in different styles and it is important to cut through the<br />
sales pitch and the fancy jargon to find one that will help you match the vision for your<br />
wedding photographs. Use outlined the 3 main varieties <strong>of</strong> wedding photography available<br />
today, although in many cases it is possible for a photographer to shoot in more than one<br />
style.<br />
Traditional wedding photography<br />
Traditional, or sometimes called Classical wedding photography in ahmedabad, mumbai and<br />

<strong>of</strong> your wedding day including the exchange <strong>of</strong> rings, signing the marriage register, walking<br />
down the aisle as husband and wife, family groupings and the cutting <strong>of</strong> the cake to name a<br />
few.<br />
<strong>Wedding</strong>s are still considered <strong>of</strong>ficial events and this type <strong>of</strong> wedding photography has<br />
stood the test <strong>of</strong> time. With careful lighting and expert posing traditional wedding picture<br />
taking creates a perfect record <strong>of</strong> your family acquiring. A good photographer will be able

<strong>The</strong>se are the sort <strong>of</strong> shots Mum and Granny expect to see from the wedding photographs<br />
and is frequently found on display in homes on the wall or mantelpiece.<br />
Traditional wedding photography has sometimes got a bad reputation brought on by bossy<br />
or grumpy photographers or photographers taking ages to complete limitless group shots<br />
with the bride and groom winding up spending more time in front <strong>of</strong> a camera and less time<br />
using their guests enjoying their wedding day.<br />
Reportage wedding photography<br />
Reportage, sometimes called Photojournalistic wedding photography, means literally "to<br />
report". <strong>The</strong> pr<strong>of</strong>essional photographer blends into the background and photographs<br />
events as they happen and you <strong>of</strong>ten don't even realize photographs are being used.<br />
This style <strong>of</strong> picture taking is really the hardest to perfect. It takes many years <strong>of</strong><br />
experience and lightning fast reactions to expertly capture a wedding in this style.<br />
This style is not to be baffled with well executed traditional photography where skill <strong>of</strong><br />
the photographer makes the photograph look natural and not posed.<br />
<strong>The</strong> progress <strong>of</strong> Reportage wedding picture taking seems to have coincided with the<br />
growth <strong>of</strong> digital digital photography due to the low expenses per photograph that<br />
reportage style <strong>of</strong> photo thrives on. Unfortunately, many new or inexperienced wedding
photographers use the "shot gun" approach shooting hundreds <strong>of</strong> pictures through the<br />
wedding day in the hope that they capture a few good shots.<br />
A word <strong>of</strong> warning: If you choose a photographer who sets exclusively in this style many<br />
couples regret without having some traditional photographs in their album. With écrit<br />
wedding photography you are relying on the pr<strong>of</strong>essional photographers interpretation <strong>of</strong><br />
your day. <strong>The</strong> couples parents are usually the first to complain about the lack <strong>of</strong><br />
traditional images in your album.<br />
Contemporary wedding photography<br />
Contemporary, sometimes called Avant Garde wedding photography can mean many<br />
different what you should different people. By simply definition, to be modern the style is<br />
continually changing which could mean the photographs date very quickly.<br />
Modern day wedding photography can involve unusual or "<strong>of</strong>f the wall" ideas and use<br />
strange camera angles. This kind <strong>of</strong> style <strong>of</strong> photography brings more <strong>of</strong> the pr<strong>of</strong>essional<br />
photographers personality into the photo together with the creative vision or individual<br />
type <strong>of</strong> the photographer. Although this kind <strong>of</strong> photography may be less popular, when<br />
done properly the results can be fantastic and your wedding album will be unique.<br />
Many wedding photographers use contemporary style images in pr<strong>of</strong>essional photography<br />
awards and you will <strong>of</strong>ten see this style featured in glossy wedding magazines.<br />
Drawback <strong>of</strong> this style <strong>of</strong> wedding photography is that it doesn't really <strong>of</strong>fer a true<br />
record <strong>of</strong> your wedding day. You might be disappointed if your albums winds up like an art<br />
exhibition.
