There are two primary approaches to wedding photography that are recognized today: Traditional and Photojournalistic wedding photography. Whidbey Island Photography can provide traditional wedding photography, which provides for more classically posed images and a great deal of photographer control and interaction on the day of the wedding. Whidbey Island Wedding Photographer also offers photojournalistic wedding photography, which takes its cue from editorial reporting styles and focuses more on candid and unposed images with little photographer set up. These are two extremes of what Whidbey Island Wedding Photography offers and our photographer services can encompass both or favor one photography style over the other. A third photography style that is becoming more and more in demand is a fashion-based approach. In contemporary/fashion-based wedding photography, photojournalistic images of the events of the day are combined with posed images that are inspired by editorial fashion photography as would be found in magazines like Vogue or Vanity Fair. Whidbey Island Wedding Photography is pioneering in the local area to bring this style to the Whidbey Island photography industry. Another photography term, contemporary wedding photography, is used to describe wedding photography that is not of a traditional nature. The emphasis in contemporary wedding photography is to capture the story and atmosphere from the day, so the viewer has an appreciation of what the wedding was like, rather than a series of pre-determined poses. However, this term can be mistaken by some photographers to mean any photography that is not posed or formal. Our photographer service will demonstrate this style as it is defined. The advent and advancement of digital photography cameras and increased use of the internet mean that many people can offer their photography service as wedding photographers. However, contemporary wedding photography is more than taking very formal photographs and involves the use of composition, lighting and timing to capture photography that has a strong visual appeal. For this reason, you should choose Whidbey Island Wedding Photography for your wedding photographer needs and allow our photographers to surpass your expectations!!
