Journalistic Bridal Photography?

When searching for a wedding photographer, you’ve most likely ran into the term ‘Journalistic Bridal Photography‘ several times on the internet.
And you’re probably wondering what this means 😉

Long story short: this type of photography is a ‘storytelling report of a wedding day’.

It emphasizes spontaneity: so no posing or staged pictures.
In every wedding there’s a beautiful story to tell with plenty of spontaneous photo’s. There’s so much more to see and show than just the ‘Saying I Do‘ or cutting of the cake.

Think of pageboys who need a quick diaper change on the back of a fancy wedding car. Or a bride who’s withdrawing herself from the crowd, to breastfeed her baby. Or this one time when a bride (all groomed up) made a pit-stop at a supermarket to score some chewing gum.

Some of these beautiful stories are displayed in this slideshow:

So you're getting married and are interested in Journalistic Bridal Photography.
But most likely, you would also like some beautiful staged pictures with you and your partner or special relatives?

No worries: even when we are taking a moment 'to pose' it is still possible to shoot journalistic photo's.

At your wedding day, you're often preoccupied by all liveliness and your guests. I consider it my job to create relaxed little breaks for photo moments.

It's often in between those moments, that I get to shoot the most amazing and storytelling pictures.
How a groom kneels to display his wife's veil, just before they pose. How a couple of friends are having fun, when they're gathering to have their grouppics taken.

Capturing those emotions and feelings on the right time, is what tells a story and relationship between people.
