A photographer once told me that brides who don’t know any better always ask for a “photojournalistic” style for their wedding, since that seems to be The Thing for the past decade or so. But really, he said, a bride who gets true photojournalism is never happy with the pictures, because true photojournalism does not make flattering portraiture. So he makes subtle, but significant adjustments during the wedding shots, asking for a pose or smile to be held a second longer than it naturally would be, looking away for that split moment when the bride is jutting her jaw in exasperation over a soon-to-be-mother-in-law, fluffing a veil to catch a breeze. While this may not be absolute truth in capturing an event, the end result is always better for it. I get up early on Monday morning, answering emails that came in the night before, and leaving voicemails with vendors, all before 9 a.m. I’ve dressed with care today, a smidgen more eye makeup—I used a lash curler and mascara—and have blown out my hair.
