If you understand how today's professionals approach weddings, you will have an easier time understanding photographers. This is the style that suits most weddings. Wedding photojournalism means no posed photographs - all pictures would be taken without any instruction from or awareness of the photographer. Dennis Reggie of Atlanta has promoted this approach.
Illustrative photography has drama, grand poses and majestic scenery.
Every detail in the image is carefully arranged to produce a photograph with impact. The Creative or impressionistic photographer creates images with the unusual angle or juxtaposition. The photographer is creating his or her artistic impression of your wedding day. The goal is to produce a limited number of art prints from your wedding. The subject of the photograph should be a meaningful part of the picture, not just a bride plopped down on a rock in front of a bridge.
