Reportage

Reportage is the reporting of news or events. In photography, it means telling a real story through a series of documentary images, as in photojournalism. The word comes from French.

Many wedding photographers offer a "reportage style". This means they record the day as it happens, almost like a news event. They work quietly and avoid posed group shots as much as possible, so the pictures look natural and unplanned.
