When it comes to selecting wedding photography approach it is very easy to get confused considering now there are endless styles available in which to capture the shots. A few of them are classic, contemporary, modern, reportage aka documentary style, photojournalistic and so on. This section will discuss the highlights of reportage style photography which happens to be the first choice of Napa wedding photographers.
The first aspect which characterizes documentary/reportage style of photography is the fact that photographers follow a very hands-off approach while taking shots. All the events during the wedding starting from reception, exchange of vows, and everything else is recorded in a flow. The manner is quite like fly-on-the-wall style which kind of resembles to that of a television documentary.
Most of the time guests attending the celebration won’t even realize that a photographer is there capturing all the events taking place. This is the reason reportage style is becoming more popular these days. It allows people to move with freedom without having to worry about posing in robotic and artificial manner.
If this style is followed the resulting pictures are likely to produce shots in a very candid, fun, and free-flow manner. The shots you will see will be quite unusual which cannot be expected out of contemporary or traditional styles. You can always expect to see that ‘wow’ factor in all the images. This style has great deal to offer. However, it does require extremely skilled Napa based wedding photographers to be able to pull off this approach.
The photographer should have really great photography skills and should be experienced in this particular style. An ability to anticipate events before they are about to happen is one of the qualities required in a documentary photographer.
