If you’ve been scrolling through wedding photography styles and feeling a little confused (documentary? editorial? fine art?), you’re not alone. So many couples tell me they love my style but don’t totally know what it means.

So here’s the easiest breakdown ever, and what it actually looks like when I’m photographing your day.

What “Documentary Style” Really Means

Documentary is exactly what it sounds like: capturing your day as it naturally unfolds.

No forcing moments. No stiff posing. No interrupting you every two seconds.

It’s the real stuff:

• The way your friends hype you up in the morning
• The soft moments with your partner
• Your parents tearing up
• The chaos, the laughter, the unexpected

These are the images that feel emotional and honest — the ones you’ll look back on and think, I love that these moments were captured.

What “Editorial Style” Really Means

Editorial is where the elevated, stylish, magazine vibes come in !

Think:

• Clean, intentional posing
• Gorgeous composition
• True-toned, consistent editing
• Photos that feel modern, refined, and effortlessly cool

This is where we create the “wow” images, the ones you frame, print big, and obsess over forever and make you feel like you’re on the cover of vogue.

My Approach: A Blend of Both

My heart lives right in the middle: documentary moments with an editorial flare.

Here’s what that looks like:

1. Candid, real moments all day

I let your day happen naturally, you won’t feel like you’re in a photoshoot from morning to night.

2. Gentle, easy direction when it matters

During portraits, I step in with simple guidance so you look natural, not posed.

3. Balanced storytelling

You get emotional candids and timeless editorial portraits.

4. A cohesive, true-toned gallery

Everything feels consistent — clean, warm, and true to the colors of your day.

What It’s Like Working With Me on Your Wedding Day

If you’re wondering what actually happens behind the scenes, here’s the vibe:

• I stay quiet and observant during emotional moments so they stay real! I am there to capture the moment, not interrupt.
• I guide you through portraits so you feel confident and relaxed and get the photos your dreaming of !
• I style your details and flat lays with intention.
• I capture your people exactly how they are — fun, emotional, chaotic, sweet, everything.
• I want your photos to feel like you… not like someone else’s Pinterest board!

You’ll always know what to do when you need direction, and you’ll never feel over-posed or uncomfortable.

Why Couples Love This Style

Documentary + editorial is perfect if you want:

• Real moments that actually feel like your day
• Portraits that feel elevated but not stiff
• Natural, true-to-tones editing
• A gallery that feels modern, emotional, and timeless all at once
• A photographer who knows when to step in and when to disappear

It’s truly the best of both worlds.
