Wedding photography styles explained
A short guide to documentary, editorial, cinematic, fine-art, candid, film, and flash styles.
Documentary photography prioritizes real interactions, unscripted emotion, and the story of the day as it happened.
Editorial photography brings stronger direction, fashion-informed posing, and polished portraits that feel composed without losing the couple's personality.
Fine-art and film photographers often lean into soft light, refined color, texture, and heirloom presentation.
