Wedding photography: reportage or formal?
We are currently looking at photographers for our wedding. We’re quite interested in the more modern, reportage-style photographs rather than formal shots.
Has anyone here had these sort of photgraphs taken at their weding? What did you think? Are there any circumstances where a more relaxed form of photography is not a good idea?
I can’t believe I misspelt “wedding”.
Hi Ruth.
In short, yes, my wife and I had reportage style photos taken at our weding, although the whole album was not of this style.
We opted for a photogpaher who could provide a nice combo of formal, candid and reportage photos in order to achieve a good balance to the album. That said, reportage is a style where you can get away with having the whole album that style should you choose.
In terms of times when relaxed images may not suit, the most obvious answer is when it comes to shots that other family members may want to hang on their wall or place in a photo frame on their mantelpiece. Whilst my wife and I have a lovely shot of us kissing on a bridge in black and white on the wall in our house (taken reportage style), both our sets of parents have ones of us standing alongside them (taken formal style). You will tend to find that ‘older folk’ prefer the more traditional style.
Before making the final decision on what style to go for and who to use, I would suggest doing a lot of shopping around and a fair bit of research – you will find that whilst some photogrpahers claim they can shoot ‘reportage style’ not all will be of the same standard. I have attached a link to a site that tells you what to look out for when choosing a wedding photographer and it may well be worth checking out prior to making the final decision.
By the way, just to make you feel better, you might want to check how I’ve spelt wedding in the first paragraph!
Hope this helps.

Is a blog or Facebook page necessary if you are a modern professional photographer?
I don’t want to spend hours on the internet everyday posting to a blog or facebook about my photography. But it seems as if a lot of modern photographers are doing this. Is it necessary? Would you book a photographer who did these over one who didn’t? Why did you book your wedding photographer and were you happy with him or her?
I do have a website of course. I wouldn’t think of doing any kind of business with someone who didn’t. just wondering if people really pay attention to the blogs and facebook pages. I Twitter too.
My website is on Smugmug. is there a way to incorporate a blog within my webpage?
No, you dont have to. But the advantage is its free advertisement. All sorts of businesses are getting on these blog pages now, and you would be surprised how much business it gets them. Not necessarily because people want to see/use businesses that specifically use these sites, but because using these sites gets them more visibility, and its free visibility.

Name my wedding photography business?
I am about to start printing some materials (business cards, etc.) for my photography business to make it official, but can’t think of a name. I’d like it to be something catchy, modern, but it doesn’t necessarily need to imply weddings only (b/c I can add the tag line at the end… Weddings and Portraits by Liz). Any bright ideas?
Your Name Photography.
Seriously – using your own name is professional and sleek.
