What is Documentary-Style Photography?

Documentary photography is all about telling a story through pictures. Unlike traditional photography, which may involve meticulously staged poses and carefully curated backdrops, documentary-style photography aims to capture real-life events as they unfold. It's spontaneous and unscripted, focusing on emotions, interactions, and the unique atmosphere of the day.

This style allows the photographer to be an observer rather than a director in weddings or couples sessions. The result? Photos that genuinely reflect who you are as a couple—your love, your connection, and even the little in-between moments that might otherwise go unnoticed.

Why Choose Documentary-Style Photography?

  1. Authenticity: This style embraces the natural moments of the day, whether it’s a tear slipping down during a heartfelt vow or a spontaneous dance with your partner. You’ll get photos that represent the real you, unfiltered and full of genuine emotion.

  2. Storytelling: Since this style focuses on the bigger picture, the photographer will weave together all the moments to tell a complete story of your day. Every image contributes to a larger narrative, from preparation to celebration.

  3. Stress-Free: With documentary-style photography, you don't have to worry about performing for the camera. The photographer is there to document the event as it naturally happens, allowing you to focus on enjoying the moment. This can significantly reduce the stress many couples feel about their photo session.

  4. Unique Memories: Every couple has their own love story, and documentary-style photography brings out the individuality of that story. No two documentary-style shoots will ever look the same because they’re based on your specific interactions, emotions, and experiences.

How Do I make sure your Elopement/wedding day goes smoothly?

  1. Pre-Shoot Consultation
    Before your big day, we’ll schedule a consultation—either in person or via video chat—to go over all the details, including your expectations, key moments you want captured, and the general flow of the day. This is a great opportunity for you to share your vision, and I’ll ensure we’re on the same page for capturing your special moments seamlessly.

  2. On the Day: Photographer as an Observer
    During your elopement or wedding, I’ll act as more of an observer than a director, letting moments unfold naturally. I focus on capturing candid interactions, from intimate glances to spontaneous laughter. I remain in the background, allowing you to fully enjoy the experience while I discreetly document the real emotions of the day.

  3. Natural Lighting and Settings
    While I primarily work with natural light and real settings to keep everything authentic, I’ll also assist with lighting using off-camera flash (OCF) or on-camera flash (CF) as needed. This ensures that every moment, regardless of lighting conditions, is captured beautifully.

  4. Editing and Delivery
    Post-shoot, I carefully edit each image to maintain the natural look and feel of the day. I enhance the colors and tones to reflect the genuine mood without over-editing. You’ll receive a beautifully curated gallery of images that cohesively tell the story of your elopement or wedding—timeless, authentic, and full of real emotion.
