Why Reportage and Documentary Styles Are Perfect for Wedding Photography

Reportage and documentary styles have become increasingly popular in wedding photography for their ability to capture genuine, spontaneous moments. Unlike traditional posed images, these styles focus on documenting your wedding as it naturally unfolds, providing an authentic representation of your special day. 

A South london wedding photographer specializes in capturing candid moments, blending into the background to observe and document real emotions and interactions. This unobtrusive approach results in a collection of images that reflect the true story of your wedding, including the laughter, tears, and often-overlooked details.

Similarly, a wedding photographer creates a visual narrative of your day. Instead of staging shots, they aim to tell your unique story through a series of images that capture the progression of events from start to finish. This approach provides a timeless, personal story that you can relive through your wedding album. 

These photography styles are also versatile for other events, such as exhibitions. Exhibitions photography in London benefits from the same natural, unposed approach, ensuring an authentic record of the event. To know more, Read this blog.

Fave wedding image 2023

This is my favorite wedding image of 2023. It's not a picture of a bride or a groom. Ha! Kids are kids and I feel the joy of life when I look at this one. This image encapsulates everything I love about photography.

On February 1st 1918 the author of The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, Muriel Spark was born in Edinburgh.

Spark did not publish her first novel until she was almost 40, but she quickly gained admirers for her taut, comically disturbing works that often depicted odd, malevolent forces insinuating their way into the lives of ordinary people. She was best known for "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie," her 1961 novel about a charismatic schoolmistress.

Originally Muriel Sarah Camberg, she attended the James Gillespie's High School for Girls. There she met educator Christina Kay who became the inspiration for one of Spark's most famous characters.

At the age of 19, she married Sydney Oswald "Ossie" Spark. The couple sailed to Africa soon after they wed. The union proved to be a brief and turbulent one. She had a son, Robin, with her husband before the pair split up. For a time, Spark supported herself doing odd jobs. She returned home during World War II, leaving her son in Africa in the care of some nuns.

Back home, Spark became involved in London's literary world. She served as editor of the Poetry Review from 1947 to 1949, and published poetry, short stories and critical biographies of figures like William Wordsworth, Mary Shelley and Emily Brontë. In the 1950s, Spark suffered a nervous breakdown and converted to Catholicism. Her first novel, The Comforters in 1957, earned critical acclaim from such established British writers as Graham Greene and Evelyn Waugh.

While she largely considered herself a poet, Spark built up an impressive career for herself as a novelist. After The Comforters, two more novels soon followed —Memento Mori and The Ballad of Peckham Rye . But it was her tale of a teacher at a girls school that really brought her widespread commercial success. The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie became a best seller when it was published in 1961. The book began the basis of a successful London play starring Vanessa Redgrave in 1964. This production later moved to Broadway with Zoe Caldwell as the title character. In 1969, Maggie Smith starred in the film version, which earned Smith an Academy Award for best actress.

By the end of the 1960s, Spark moved to Italy. She lived in Rome for many years. There Spark met artist Penelope Jardine. The pair became inseparable, eventually setting up house together in Tuscany. Jardine acted as Spark's aide and companion. While some have speculated that their relationship was a romantic one, Spark told reporters that it was an "old-fashioned friendship," according to The New York Times.

As her career progressed, Spark continued to explore both the dark and light sides of life in her work. Not everyone knew what to do with this odd balance of the comic and tragic. Scottish writer, Allan Massie (Who I met several times at a writers workshop when at school) described her as "a comic writer with a sense of evil, a metaphysical in all sense of that difficult word" in the Spectator. Another critic for New Criterion wrote that "what first seems like caricature often passes, on closer reading, as unvarnished reportage."

Spark turned her mighty pen on her own life with the 1992 memoir Curriculum Vitae. In 2004, Spark published The Finishing School, which proved to be her final novel.

Muriel Spark died, aged 88, on April 13,th 2006, in Florence, Italy and is buried in the cemetery of Sant'Andrea Apostolo in Oliveto.

There is something mystical about plov that elevates it above taste and presentation. It is a shared obsession, generally served for lunch, representing hospitality, community, and identity. People pride themselves on their skill in preparing it. The most talented chefs, called oshpaz, can serve plov for up to 1,000 people from a single kazan (‘cauldron’) at weddings and festivals. Plov is identity here and it has become a symbol of the country, to be marketed to foreigners. ‘All you need is plov’ (a riff on the Beatles song ‘All You Need is Love’) is printed on T-shirts. Plov is sold, as a meaty souvenir, in cans with ring-pulls at airports.

Arminius Vámbéry, in his 1863 book Travels in Central Asia, witnessed plov being prepared in Samarkand: ‘The princely pilow [plov] … consisted of a sack of rice, three sheep chopped to pieces, a large pan of sheep’s fat (enough to make five pounds of candles) and a small sack of carrots…’ Out here, it is easy to take this legend of lunchtime for granted, but we shouldn’t. Elsewhere in the world, plov, the real thing, prepared slowly, rich with lamb tail fat, onions and carrots, is a rarity. You’ll only find dedicated cafés selling it in pockets of New York City and Moscow and a few cities of the former Soviet Union, where Uzbeks live, their kitchens and cafés a continuity of homeland and family. ‘If you’re rich, eat plov; if you’re poor, eat plov,” as the Uzbek saying goes.

Wedding life!

This image encapsulates why I love photographing weddings and kids being kids!

This photo was taken by the Indian photographer Jay Ullal who provided extensive photo reportage from all parts of the world and especially from crisis areas such as Cambodia, Rwanda, Vietnam, Indochina, the Middle East, Pakistan and the Balkans for almost 30 years

This project was shot in 1983 during the Lebanese civil war but what makes this picture a myth is the addition of staged models appearing to be a Christian bride and a Muslim groom. This was made to give the picture a deeper more emotional meaning however for sure these newlyweds weren’t walking over the ruins on their wedding day.

An article published by Scene Now reviewed the picture and described it as “the piece de resistance of this corner of the exhibition.
