Defining Wedding Photojournalism
In 1980, Denis Reggie coined the term "wedding photojournalism" to
define a genre that recognizes coverage in real time by a photographer respectful
of the natural occurrences and flow of the wedding day without assuming a leadership
position in arranging, staging, or prompting subjects.
The hallmark of the concept is both perspective and attitude, based on a mandate
to be truly reactive rather than proactive, and a dedication to record events
as historian rather than director. Content with reality, the wedding photojournalist
quietly documents while anticipating action, sensitively observing details and
nuance, then documenting moments without subjects actively aware of the process.
Wedding photojournalists also produce necessary group photographs for family historical
purposes, though formal photography may be less rigid and comprise only a small
percentage, often only 5 to 10 percent of the overall coverage. Though frequently
exemplified by black-and-white images made with 35mm cameras, many photojournalists
also provide coverage in color, and with professional-grade digital camera equipment.
Scott Patrick has adopted this style of photography and offers his artistic and
unobtrusive approach to wedding photography to brides looking to have their special
day documented in this manner.
