What is the difference between traditional and reportage photography?
This is a commonly asked question. In the most basic terms, traditional photography is the formal photography of the bride and groom and their guests. These shots are set up and have the advantage of knowing that you will be sure of having photographs of all the important guests. Typically we find that parents in particular prefer these shots to the more informal reportage style. Reportage photography is where the photographer roams around the group and takes candid photographs of the guests in an unobtrusive manner. The advantage of these shots is that they capture people in a much more relaxed manner and are often more reflective of the overall day. During reportage style shots, the photographer never manufactures a particular shot.
