Anybody have thoughts on photojournalism for your weddings photos? Does anyone have examples of it? We are debating on adding it onto our regular photographer? It is $995 for a book, 200 B&W proofs. So not sure....
I might be biased because I was a journalism major and now Im an art teacher... I love photojournalism because it is all about capturing the moment and those are the things that I would like to look at and be reminded of forever. I love when pictures tell a story. When I look at other people's albums I get very bored when looking at those typical posed shots of family... and my eye always goes to the photos that captured a feeling....
if it were me, i wouldnt even do traditonal shots... but FW wanted it... PJ just captures the natural stuff that you dont know about. i think you should if you can afford it. i think those are like the priceless moments to capture expressions when you didnt think there was a camera around
We are having a photojournalistic photographer in addition to the traditional one at our in November. To me, I like those pictures more because they are candid shots that really tell a story of how the day went and what people were doing. I like the traditional for keepsakes, but the candids for more fun in looking at your album!!

i only wanted a photographer that did it. i want those 'catch me when i am happy' pictures, because when i pose...well lets just say this...have you ever seen the friends wehre chandler and monice take their engagement pic? and chandler does this AWFUL picture smile? well that is me...only i think sometimes i am worse!
We had a photojournalist, and nearly all my favorite shots are the photojournalistic ones. I am so happy that we decided to have two photographers.

From what I've see, I really love the photojournalistic shots. I definitely definitely want to have that!
I personally just wanted traditional family pics. But the rest I want candids. They really capture emotions.
thanks for all the comments! I think it is important to have some posed shots but I love the candids too!!! i think maybe i will talk to my photographer and see what everything would come to...we are already getting a lot with our 1 photographer and assistant. I wish I investigated more prior to booking. $1000 more seems like a lot on top of the 3500 already so maybe i could ask if we could lessen our package to include it or something like that. We'll see....

Same here!
I agree with everyone else. It looks more natural and it actually captures what was goign on that day. If can get some of my proof to load...
I booked a photojournalistic phototograher on top of my traditional one. I wanted the standard posed shots, but also the candid ones. Well worth the money, IMO
