What Is Editorial Wedding Photography?
Editorial wedding photography is a style inspired by fashion photography, focusing on clean and intentional compositions, thoughtful posing, soft natural lighting, elegant and magazine worthy aesthetics.
Traditional vs Editorial Wedding Photography
Traditional wedding photography prioritises documentation—capturing events exactly as they unfold. While this approach is important, editorial wedding photography takes it one step further.
Traditional Wedding Photography
Candid, documentary-focused
Captures moments as-is
Event-driven
Editorial Wedding Photography
Fashion-inspired, guided posing
Curates moments intentionally
Aesthetic + emotion-driven
At Elegante Pictures, we combine the best of both worlds, a mix of traditional as well as editorial wedding photography that balances real emotion with editorial elegance.
Our Story: How Elegante Pictures Developed Its Editorial Style
At Elegante Pictures, our editorial wedding photography style was born from a simple question:
“If the bride is already in full makeup and her most beautiful wedding gown, why not create wedding photos that look as good as a fashion magazine?”
With backgrounds in fashion and portrait photography, we noticed that many brides invested tremendous effort into their wedding look—yet their photos often didn’t reflect that same level of refinement.
So we decided to bridge that gap.
By incorporating fashion editorial techniques into wedding photography, we developed a signature style that are Cinematicly framed. With images that are Clean, Soft, Elegant and Timeless.
This approach allows every bride to look confident, graceful, and magazine-ready—without losing authenticity.
Why We Only Use 35mm f/1.4 Lenses
One of the defining elements of our editorial style is our exclusive use of 35mm f/1.4 lenses.
This lens choice allows us to:
Maintain a natural, flattering perspective
Create soft background separation without distortion
Preserve clean compositions that feel intimate and cinematic
Achieve creamy bokeh and elegant depth
Unlike overly compressed or ultra-wide lenses, the 35mm focal length closely resembles how the human eye sees—making images feel natural, timeless, and editorial.
Guided Posing, Not Awkward Posing
A common concern couples have is: “We don’t know how to pose.”
That’s where editorial wedding photography truly shines.
