The ultimate way to tell a story, as people often say, is to present it realistically. This principle also holds true to wedding photojournalists. Photographers that focus in this particular wedding photography technique take minimal number of posed images and rather provide shoots that capture the actions that are happening before them.

Wedding photojournalists are a new breed of photographers. Compared to traditional wedding photographers, Wedding photojournalists do not primarily depend on staged and scripted shoots to convey every important part of the matrimonial ceremony. Wedding photojournalists cover wedding ceremonies utilizing a documentary-type approach.

Weddings are big news to every bridal couple. So it deserves a coverage that is similar to news and documentary reporting, where every essential detail of the event is captured as it naturally unfolds. However, this does not show that formal, portrait-style wedding pictures as well as candid and scripted shoots are no longer required.

The presence of advanced photography equipment, in particular with digital photography using interchangeable lens, has changed the landscape of wedding photography. Such photography equipment provides important improvements in terms of resolution, fidelity, speed and transition.

Digital photography gives every wedding photojournalist the chance to showcase images employing several exposures and composition without paying for the additional cost of film. As a result, wedding photographers take as many shots as they can during the actual event.

The "no intrusion" method is also a distinct nature of journalistic wedding photography. Wedding photojournalists as much as possible move around unobtrusively, trying their best not to intrude without missing the day's most significant moments.

The skill of observation is a requirement in attaining the ability to work quickly and unobtrusively. Being a keen observer gives a photographer the advantage to predict the chronological sequence in which the event will occur.

Photographers who have this skill seldom give instructions. As a result, their photographs are more spontaneous and realistic.

This knack for predicting what will occur next is a combination of long years of experience as well as the knowledge of the intricacies of the wedding celebration.
