Top Ten Photography Styles

1. Portrait

Here the photographer arranges key players, such as the bride, groom, their parents and the bridal party into formal poses. Although the popularity of reportage is growing, you should still have a few formal portraits.

2. Colour

Vibrant and evocative, colour photographs are also less expensive than black-and-whites. Even if you love the look of black-and-white photos, make sure you get some colour pictures as well.

3. Reportage

Your photographer catches these candid moments as he finds them, and often they turn out to be the most descriptive and emotional photos of the day.

4. Black-And-White

Adding instant sophistication to any shot, black-and-white photos remain popular with brides everywhere.

5. Action

It could be your first dance or you and your partner being showered with confetti. Ask for a few pictures filled with movement and energy to add a bit of excitement to your wedding album.

6. Detail

It's always nice to have a record of those little details that made your wedding, so ask your photographer to get a shot of your flowers, your rings and all those covered buttons on your wedding dress.

7. Fish Eye

Taken with a wide-angle lens, these pictures are great for sweeping shots of your ceremony and reception locations.

8. Infrared

These arty shots give the image an unearthly, dreamlike or silken quality. People are not distinctly recognizable, and details of garments and hairstyles are minimized. These prints resist being dated, and create an atmosphere of suspended time.

9. Hand Coloured

Your photographer can add subtle accents of colour to your black-and-white photographs, such as a shot of you as the bride with your bouquet of gerbera daisies providing a dramatic splash of pink.

10. Sepia

These photos, in a range of rich browns, give a look of old world stylishness to your wedding photos.
