Traditional and photojournalistic wedding photography styles represent two extremes in today's world of wedding photography. Many photographers incorporate some of both of these styles. Additionally, there is another style that some photographers are using that has its roots in fashion photography and photographic storytelling. We refer to this as the photo-illustrative style of wedding photography.

This style involves posed photographs that do not look all that posed. So there is some control by the photographer as the photographer suggests to the bride and groom various poses and ways to walk, but a certain amount of spontaneity is left up to the bride and groom. This is often a fun interaction that the photographer has with the bride and wedding party.

Photo-illustrative photography adds in some very interesting photographs that fit in well with modern, magazine style flush mount albums where every page is a collage.
