What Is Wedding Photojournalism?

Wedding photojournalism focuses on capturing the little things, the details, sudden emotions, instant reactions, true feelings, and is evolving from a simple trend to become the standard in the wedding photography industry. It branches away from traditional wedding and event photography associated with posed shots and “everybody smile” and “look happy” poses. While traditional photographers create bridal images that are mostly posed and scripted, photojournalist captures bridal images with very little involvement in the composition of the photograph. At Lux we believe that spontaneity makes for the best images. We look at life as a story and think an image should tell a story, set a mood, and be filled with character. Our award-winning wedding photographers sprang into the wedding industry from photojournalistic backgrounds and helped to create a great new approach to capturing your wedding day. Film or Digital?

Moments Rather Than Poses

Our true strength as wedding photojournalists is in informal, candid, documentary style of wedding photography and videography. As professional photojournalists we capture the images and videos throughout the wedding day or an engagement session or a corporate party that tell a story. The photographer unobtrusively captures each action of the day, without staging elaborate shots and the events are captured in a pure, genuine state.

This style is right for you if you want both candid and artistic photos, while being photographed in a loose and relaxed way, with a photographer that lets the actions of the day happen instead of making them happen. Our photojournalists go beyond candid to freeze the action at its peak moment, to capture the essence, to find the feeling… to tell stories of bride and groom, of their special day.

Through our images, the unique, once in a lifetime events that transpire are preserved for you to enjoy, keep and share. We work in a very relaxed style, encouraging and accepting direction and ideas from you. True emotion is caught and revealed using this style of wedding photography. Usually, these photos look their best in black and white (B&W) finish that truly showcases the ’storybook’ effect of this photographic style. Lux is also famous for it’s true-to-life wedding video coverage.
