Enjoying the day. Not feeling like you have to pose for the photographer. It’s about the moment and the people.
What do you like? What is important to you? What are your plans for the day?
For the photographer it is about being a witness for your day. Working unobtrusively, aware of the emotions, looking for the opportunities, photographing for the impact.

Photojournalism does give us more freedom to enjoy the day but it does rule out some of the photography that would be taken.
To is so important, that we talk about the day and what is important to you.
As you think about your plans for the day, it is so nice if time is set aside for our bride and groom. Just them. I would also like to have some time to work with our bride and our groom individually.
We hear the terms photojournalism and life style wedding photography. Both terms refer to photographing the day with minimal direction from the photographer. Their is also a trend in wedding photography to provide some directed photography, but in a way that it looks natural, unposed and very casual.
If photojournalism is the desired style, their are those moments where you might want a group picture with your immediate family, parents, aunts and uncles or friends. These group pictures can happen spontaneously. These groups are important and we should be careful to make sure they happen.
When thinking about people who are important to you, discuss these people with your photographer. Make sure your wedding photographer knows who these people are, their importance to you and when he/she might have an opportunity to photograph them.
