What is documentary wedding photography?

We live in a time where our landscape is saturated with images, and most of them are made to sell something to you.

Wedding photography is no exception.

When I search for wedding photography, the first things that pop up are highly posed, totally airbrushed, manufactured moments. This is the norm for wedding photography, and has been for years, aided by stacks of glossy magazines and The Knot. Thankfully, there has been a sea change in the past 5-10 years, and there are more and more documentary wedding photographers out there.

I’m one of them. And I love explaining exactly what I do.
