What is Traditional Photography?

Understanding the art of classic, posed photography

Timeless Portraits for Generations

Traditional photography is a classic style that focuses on posed, carefully composed portraits. This approach emphasizes proper lighting, balanced compositions, and formal posing to create elegant, timeless images that families have cherished for generations.

In wedding photography, traditional shots capture the formal aspects of your celebration - the family portraits, bridal party lineups, and ceremonial moments. These images are carefully planned and executed to ensure everyone looks their best and the composition is visually pleasing.

The beauty of traditional photography lies in its ability to create heirloom-quality portraits that stand the test of time. These images become part of your family legacy, documenting important milestones with grace and formality.

Tips for Great Traditional Wedding Photos

How to prepare for your traditional photography session

Create a Shot List

Work with your photographer to create a comprehensive list of all the formal portraits you want, including family groupings, bridal party shots, and special combinations.

Allow Enough Time

Traditional portraits take time. Schedule at least 60-90 minutes for family formals and bridal party photos to ensure a relaxed pace and beautiful results.

Designate a Helper

Ask a family member or wedding planner to help gather people for portraits. This saves time and ensures no one is missed from important group photos.

Practice Posing

Before your wedding, practice standing and sitting in ways that feel natural yet elegant. This will help you feel more comfortable during the formal portrait session.

Choose the Right Location

Select a location with good lighting, beautiful backgrounds, and enough space to accommodate your largest group photos without feeling cramped.
