Types of Wedding Photographers

The first step in selecting a photographer is figuring out which style of photography you would like. Photographers typically fall into one of three categories:

  1. traditional photographers,
  2. photojournalists,
  3. and photographers that blend both types of photography for a combination style.

Regardless of the style you choose, you can still get your images in color, black and white, or digitally.
