Photojournalistic and Editorial Wedding Photography: Capturing Brittany and Anthony’s Lakeside Wedding

Photographers: Massimo and Dimitri

Photojournalistic Wedding Photography is all about capturing the genuine moments of the day as they naturally unfold. This style focuses on storytelling through candid, unposed shots that reflect the true emotions and events of the wedding. Editorial Wedding Photography, on the other hand, is characterized by its polished and stylized approach. It often involves carefully composed shots that could be featured in a high-end bridal magazine, highlighting the beauty, fashion, and details of the wedding day with a creative and artistic touch.
