Editorial

High-end, fashion-inspired photography for the style-conscious couple.

About Editorial Photography

Editorial wedding photography borrows from the world of high fashion and magazine spreads. It focuses on clean lines, dramatic lighting, and composed elegance. While it still captures the emotions of the day, there is a greater emphasis on creating 'hero shots'—stunning, artistic portraits that wouldn't look out of place in Vogue or Harper's Bazaar.

This style is ideal for couples who have put a lot of thought into their styling, venue, and details, and want their wedding photos to have a polished, sophisticated, and artistic edge.

Editorial photography questions

Can I request Editorial quotes here?

Yes. This is a quote-matching page, not a photographer. Say you want Editorial coverage when you describe the day, and compare the galleries that come back. We do not vet the replies.

What should I ask before I book?

Ask for a full gallery, how many hours are included, whether a second photographer or an album is extra, and for insurance and a written contract. Five questions to ask.

How much does this style cost?
