Photojournalism tells a story.

In its purest form, photojournalistic photography has little or no interaction with the subjects.  The photojournalist surreptitiously scopes the event, documenting the proceedings. The resulting images are pure and genuine.  As it relates to wedding photography, photojournalism is more relaxed than traditional photography, allowing for natural expressions and reactions of the day come through.

Good photojournalism is about capturing action.  The bride entering. The groom’s reaction to seeing her for the first time. Dancing. Smiling. The timeless exit from a beautiful ceremony. Capturing the events as they unfold. And that’s what we aim to do: capture the events of the day to tell the story.

We are all passionate about photojournalism. Laura loves the story of the day unfolding, and loves storytelling through photos. Photojournalism is one of C.J.’s favorite types of photography to shoot. Personally, I really like the facial expressions and the personal interactions.

Our photojournalism coverage of the day includes candid photos of  the bride and groom getting ready, off angle pictures of the formal portraits, coverage the ceremony itself, and the reception and celebration after. There will be some posts in more detail about some of these areas, but here are a few images showing our photojournalism style:
