Say Yes!

AI Overview

Yes,

you can hire a commercial photographer or photojournalist for a wedding,

but it's best to check their experience and portfolio to ensure they are capable of handling a wedding, as their skills are often specialized.

A commercial photographer is skilled in a wide range of subjects,

while a photojournalist focuses on candid, storytelling moments.

Look at their previous work to see if their style is a good fit for your wedding and if they have experience with events.

Check for wedding experience:

commercial photographers may have experience with the fast-paced, emotional nature of a wedding and might be used to capturing candid moments.

Look for photojournalistic skills:

If you want a documentary-style approach, look for someone with photojournalistic training or experience. This will ensure they can capture genuine, unposed moments.

Style: Wedding photographers often have a limited stylized aesthetic

Key considerations

Specialization: A photographer specialized in one area may not be the best choice for another, so it's essential to choose someone who has the specific skills and experience you need for your wedding.

Professionalism: A professional photographer will be prepared, organized, and have the necessary equipment to handle the unpredictable nature of the event, resulting in better photos.

A photojournalist will capture genuine, unscripted moments as they happen, often in a documentary style that many couples desire.

Commercial photographers often have a more stylized and polished aesthetic which might be what you want for your wall art, prints and albums. .
