Your wedding will be one of the most special
moments in your life. Youve possibly replayed it
in your mind up to a thousand times the
glittering wedding dress, the attention to
detail, the delicious fragrance of food, the
excitement of your family and friends, the music
on the dance floor, the gorgeous reception venue
and ceremony location, and the excellent
photography to capture the memories of the day!
It goes without saying, how important wedding
photography is. These days, with the art of
wedding photography being at its pinnacle in the
history of photography due to the digital camera,
you will have a choice to make as you consider
the various styles that wedding photographers
offer. Do you want classic wedding photography
that is mostly posed and recreated? Or do you
prefer more authentic photos that are documentary
in style where the photographer blends into the
background with your guests? Gone are the days
when wedding photographer is so conservative that
he literally counts the number of clicks on his
camera for fear of running out of film! Because
of this limitation, wedding photographers before
the digital era were mostly portrait in style.

In modern times, wedding photographers can go to
the opposite extreme! Because they dont worry
anymore about running out of film, they almost
mindlessly photograph anything and everything,
hoping for a few good images! The best of the
best, however, shoot with a high degree of
precision and care, and deliver one amazing
photograph after the next! This is where
documentary or reportage wedding photography
comes into the limelight! What Is Reportage
Wedding Photography - Reportage or
photojournalistic wedding photography is
discreet, unobtrusive and candid. Its
particularly suited for couples who want the
authentic emotion and feeling of the special
wedding day captured on camera. In short and
simple words, the documentary wedding
photographer will photograph the wedding day as
it unfolds naturally with little to no
intervention.

• Things to Know About Reportage Wedding
  Photography
• Upon choosing a boutique wedding photographer in
  Birmingham, it is important to understand how
  he/she goes about finding documentary photographs
  during the wedding day. Their approach is to
  begin early in the day so that you can get used
  to having a photographer in the room with you. At
  first it may feel strange, but you will quickly
  tune them out of your mind as you are
  distracted by the excitement of the day and your
  family and friends. When this happens, your
  documentary photographer will capture natural
  photographs of your once-in-a-lifetime wedding
  day.
• The important challenge within documentary
  wedding photography includes capturing the little
  events all the things often go unnoticed or are
  left out by other styles of photography. Its a
  shame because its these photographs that show the
  real enchantment of a wedding day. If you want
  spontaneous and natural photos, then
  commissioning a photographer who specializes in a
  documentary approach is essential.

• Reportage style photographs work very well in
  black and white no doubt the timeless look will
  surely compliment captured moments and convert
  them into something very special. Another reason
  why documentary images are often made black and
  white is to emphasize the importance of the
  moment, especially when the colors in the scene
  become a distraction. That doesnt mean that
  color images are not acceptable for documentary
  photographs. Its often a subjective decision.
• Remember that the photos of your wedding day will
  last a lifetime and youll want to show your
  children and grandchildren the story of your
  actual day not a sequence of formally posed
  portraits without any intimacy and warmth. It
  might cost you a bit more than a conventional
  wedding photographer but when it comes to
  preserving your memories of the best day of your
  life, it will be well worth the cost!
• Conclusion -
• Documentary photographs are candid or spontaneous
  pictures of people and décor that are not posed
  or recreated moments by the photographer. The
  moments are real and historical, unique to only
  your day! Ray Anthony Photography is known
