DOCUMENTARY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY
Documentary vs Traditional Wedding Photography: What Alabama Couples Should Know
One of the most common questions couples ask is whether documentary or traditional wedding photography is the better choice.

Traditional photography focuses on posed images, structured timelines, and direct guidance. This style works well for couples who want very polished, classic portraits.
Documentary Wedding Photography
Documentary wedding photography emphasizes real moments as they happen—laughter, tears, interactions, and movement.
