Stephen,
I agree that wedding photojournalism has been a very big thing for at least the last 20 years (and, yes, I've been in it for twice that long ) it's just that most of the clients I've been working with lately have gone back to the traditional style. Same with my pet portraits. Now, I'm not aggressively promoting my journalistic style with either market so that may be part of the reason. But I offer folks the whole gamut when we discuss the project and I don't favor one over the others. Maybe they're telling me I'm not as good with journalistic photography as with traditional portraiture .

James, I've been selling hard-cover books for weddings, baby shoots and pet portrait sessions for over 2 years and they have totally replaced traditional "albums" in my product mix. We publish the magazine so our page layout skills are ideally suited to books. Plus, I shoot a lot of frames in my sessions and I get a lot of very usable images which makes it difficult to pick just a few. So, with the books, we can offer them so many more image options than traditional albums. Here are a few examples:











We have two wedding books in layout stage right now and a baby book on order as well. They take time to do but are so much more interesting to view compared to page after page of 8X10 images. Yawn!
