Photojournalism
What does wedding Photojournalism mean?
Wedding photojournalism at the core means a photographer simply photographs moments while observing subjects instead of creating or setting up a scene. CliftonMarie’s work will reflect this style, while still keeping other important parts of the job in mind. It’s vital to know when to simply ‘get out of the way’ and document a moment versus when to guide subjects to the best lighting or adjust people with verbal cues so they look as natural as possible.
CliftonMarie’s Style:
1. balance of traditional & photojournalism
Your final wedding photos will look journalistic from beginning to end, when in reality beautiful scenes were sometimes encouraged by an experienced wedding photographer who had both the moment and the final product in mind. Our goal is to deliver timeless images to document the emotions and the things that make you unique as a couple.
2. efficient working Style
It's also important to note that CliftonMarie’s business model is very much about efficiency.
You’ll spend less than 15 mins taking sunset photos because we know you've spent so much money on this party, you should be enjoying it WITH your guests.

Tips for shopping for a photojournalism wedding photographer
When couples are shopping for a photographer, I always strongly advise them to look through an entire wedding from start to finish. (Anyone can choose the best-lit photos and showcase them, but seeing what photographers can do with the whole story of the day is important.) Every wedding will be its own story with its own style, but this should help show all the different pieces of the day and how they are photographed. Look at how the photographer documents the lighting, candid moments, the moments in between poses, and different angles of the same moment. Look for genuine expressions photographers can only capture when their subjects feel comfortable with them.
