Wedding Photography Styles Explained: Which One Is Right for You?

Choosing the right wedding photography style can be a confusing and stressful topic which many couples do not even think about until the last minute.

These tips will help even if you're not in the wedding industry.

Utilise the space you are given

Updated August 2026

Many directories offer a full page to your business, so use it!

The old advice was "a minimum of 300 words". That's no longer enough. Google has confirmed there is no word count ranking factor — but in practice, a thin listing gives search engines and AI assistants almost nothing to work with, and 300 words simply doesn't cover what a couple needs to know before they enquire.
