What is Documentary Wedding Photography?
Documentary wedding photography, also known as reportage or candid wedding photography, is a photojournalist style. It focuses on capturing candid images with minimal photographer interaction. The photographer shoots quickly, avoiding traditional or formal posing. Above all, this method ensures the photos reflect real moments and emotions. As a result, it gives a true representation of your wedding day.

My Approach to Documentary Wedding Photography
While I cover 90% of the wedding day in a documentary style, I also include couple portraits (ideally during sunset) and group photos if desired. Consequently, this balanced approach ensures a comprehensive collection of images from your big day. My goal is to tell the complete story of your wedding, from the big moments to the small details that make your day unique.
