I think Tanyas' comment is right on - the key is the emotion that is captures - whatever the style... A given ‘Style’ is a set of gestures (poses, lighting, props or not, etc.).

So very often I feel as though I can't pursue what is my creative 'style', simply because I have to make a living, and my client wants something completely different. I guess no-holds-barred creativity is what my free time is for. I think you’re absolutely right.

I don’t think this is a Lethbridge issue; I see this issue is prevalent among a LOT of wedding photographers. Fundamentally, I think what is most important is that photos are memorable for the client and they have a photographer’s signature (even if slight). Excellent points, Michael.
