Reportage Wedding Photography
What is Reportage Wedding Photography?
Reportage describes a special approach to wedding photography. Considered modern by many, it’s really an approach with a long history. Sometimes referred to as Photojournalistic Wedding Photography, and Documentary Wedding Photography, it’s real origins lie in news reporting. It’s about real events and real emotions.
Story Telling
The whole point though, is not to be all purist and pedantic. At West4 Photography we aim to tell the story of your Wedding Day in a way which will bring back the feelings, the experience of being there, for years to come. At the same time, we are constantly on the look out for photographic beauty. Geometry, light and timing are the key things that create a great wedding photograph.
The story of your day can be expressed most beautifully in a Wedding Book. Our approach to this is not to simply gather the best shots and pop them together in a book. We painstakingly select from the (usually) thousands of shots taken on the day, arranging and ordering these carefully. We highlight the emotions that surround each moment by placing together images which emphasise and compliment each other.
For your Wedding Story to be true to life, we keep a low profile at your wedding. That way, the reactions and feelings going on are completely unaffected by us. This is what we want! If we are lucky, wonderful moments coincide with wonderful light, and we have truly great wedding photography.
Formal Shots – we don’t shy away from these
The documentary style of wedding photography does not suit all. We come to your day to record events as they unfold naturally. However, we understand that there are always some traditional ‘posed’ portraits that you and your family members may need as a part of your wedding memories. Our aim with posed shots is to minimise the impact on your day. We do our best to keep it efficient, relaxed and fun.
