As a wedding photographer, it's my job to document your wedding day. Photojournalism, journalistic, documentary or street photography are all ways to describe what I do on your wedding day. I'm there to photograph moments and although i'm not completely unobtrusive, I do try to limit my interaction when I'm in the room with you. If I can sense that yu need direction or encouragement then I'm able to deliver that style as well.Wikepedia Definition of Photojournalism:
Photojournalism is journalism that uses images to tell a news story. It usually only refers to still images, but can also refer to video used in broadcast journalism. Photojournalism is distinguished from other close branches of photography (such as documentary photography, social documentary photography, war photography, street photography and celebrity photography) by having a rigid ethical framework which demands an honest and impartial approach that tells a story in strictly journalistic terms. Photojournalists contribute to the news media, and help communities connect with one other. They must be well-informed and knowledgeable, and are able to deliver news in a creative manner that is both informative and entertaining.
Similar to a writer, a photojournalist is a reporter, but they must often make decisions instantly and carry photographic equipment, often while exposed to significant obstacles, among them immediate physical danger, bad weather, large crowds, and limited physical access to their subjects.
Ideally, I'll place you in the best light or create the best light and photograph the magic that happens with the people there with you.
