Wedding Photojournalism

photograph by Quin Cheung

As a student, my main focus these last 4 quarters has been to learn everything I can. Now I'm in my 5th quarter and it suddenly seems like I need to start developing a style, or at least decide what direction I want to move in. The problem for me is that I feel like I've only just scratched the surface, and I'm not ready to dive in on my own. While I've found photojournalism to be a real challenge, I do like the photojournalistic style. I'd like to try my hand at shooting a wedding. It's terrifying in a way to think that you're supposed to document such an important day for someone, but I think I'd really enjoy it. There always seems to be so much to think about, no matter what you're shooting, so I'm looking to other wedding photographers for their experience.
