The wedding photojournalist: Leaving it up to the photographer


Wedding photographers exist for one main reason: to help document the big day. They usually show up early, as the bride is perfecting her makeup, or the groom is tying his tie. They stay for the ceremony, the cocktail hour, the reception, and often don’t leave until the couple does, getting that one last “and we’re off!” shot. Photographers, good ones, know how to capture moments. They know what to look for. They’ll crawl on the floor for the perfect shot. They get the funny faces and the tender moments alike. While standard, posed photographs are common (here we are thinking that scene in the “Godfather”), photojournalistic, “candid” photography is the kind of work that stays alive, in an album or framed in your living room. Want the kind of photos that’ll make you cry on your 50th wedding anniversary? Our advice to you: let the photographers do their job. Often times, you’ll be glad you did.
