When browsing through wedding photos, you’ll often encounter terms for wedding photography styles like “editorial,” or “documentary-style,” or “fine art,” which photographers use to describe their specialty or posing aesthetic.
While considering different wedding photography styles can help you narrow down your search for a photographer, it’s important to understand that these terms can be subjective and may vary depending on the photographer’s perspective and approach. The exact “style” a photographer offers may not neatly fit into one of these categories and can be open to interpretation. Plus, there are different portions of a standard wedding day that can tend to traditionally lean towards one style more than another.
While we do have a distinct and overarching aesthetic to our images over here at Daring Romantics, we believe that photography posing shouldn’t be rigid rules but rather a starting point. Our approach isn’t as much about being confined to a particular style of posing. We’re here to understand YOU and your unique vision for YOUR wedding. We recognize that the intricacies of your day and your story may not align perfectly with any single “style” listed. And you know what? That’s perfectly okay cause we’re the same way, haha! Rather than confining you to a photography term, we’re here to listen to you and tailor our approach to make sure your final gallery of wedding images prioritizes the moments of your wedding that truly mattered most to you. You can check out some of the diverse wedding galleries we’ve delivered here.
Below, we’ll outline some broad types of wedding photography posing. Are any of the ways we described them here different from what you expected?
As you can see, posing in photography offers a multitude of styles, each with its own unique charm and purpose. But here’s the thing, knowing these terms and what they mean doesn’t matter at all! This is your wedding day, not a photography final exam, haha. So give us a call! We’ll chat with more real life lingo and set you up with the style of posing that’s most comfortable to you.
