between regulary photography and photojournalism? Do your photographers offer two different packages or can you mix both?? I'm wondering if 'traditional photos' means either the lining up of family for pics or if it means the older type of album. I'm confused....
What what I have seen so far I believe traditional photo means posed pictures with fam friends etc etc and photojournalism means when they capture a shot that is not posed, some photogrpahers use 2 photo to capture every shot, moment etc

its just the style...traditional is just what the name implies, more traditional pics. They will mostly be posed
photojournalism is capturing real moments as they are happening, its like documenting the wedding, not posed pics or anything planned
You are like a wedding Encyclopdia... Can we start a 'Dear ESPO22' thread for advice? :![]()

but even for photojournalist pics you can do your family traditional pics, my photographers is gonna do that although she is a photojournalistic photographer, but other than that i dont want traditional pics.
BUT even with Photojournalist pics there are some posed pics but its just the style of it. You are not sitting there smiling perfectly just staring into the camera, even when they tell you to pose its done in a way that its made to look like it is capturing a moment

I was going to say if I use SIB or with you using AG are you going to take pics with your family lined up. I want to do that. but wasnt sure if they do that bec SIB specifically told me only photojournalism
What is the wedding album called when you have like 1 large picture in the back and then smaller pictures around or on the corner of the page? digital??

well AG asked us what we were looking for, and i said i love photojournalism and love her style. I also said i wont give a 'MUST TAKE' list which if you are doing photojournalism it kind of defeats the purpose of it lol if you think about it photojournalism is about spontaneous moments, so why give a list to recreate someone elses spontaneous moment. BUT anyways i said as far as traditional just pics with our families and bp and she said yes she'll do those, but she also does them a bit different, not the completely perfect standing there posed pics.
HOWEVER, i would def bring this up to SIB i am not 100% sure if they would do it, but i think they will do shots of your bp and with your family just not in the traditional style...ill see if i can find pics they did of what i am trying to describe

Yeah I dont mind if they dont do traditional style (I really dont like that look after seeing it everywhere) just as long as they do PJ of BM and fam etc etc in their own style. I will not give them a must take list either bec I dont care about that the photograohers know what they are doing and they know how to take 'must take' pics and they have an eye for that.

Many photographers don't like the must take list because it takes away from their art and creativity.

So basically photojournalism is more of a candid picture. Photographers seem to have a hard time explaining the difference...I've called a few places and they are saying it's not much of a difference. I turned to you ladies because I feel if there are two different names, there has to be a difference. I defintely like the description of photojournalism better, but still want my family and bridal party to get together for group shots. They will still do this, right?
