General styles of wedding photography include classic, artistic, lifestyle, dramatic, and documentary. If you are early in your career, then you might not have nailed down a specific style, so you will want to lean towards whichever style you have the most experience in and comfort in shooting.
In addition to this question, you might be asked whether or not you shoot in digital, film, or both. Some people might have a preference, though most current weddings lean towards digital photography. Be sure to advertise your skill and ability only if it is of a high enough quality to match their expectations.

"I have experience shooting in many of the popular wedding photography styles - classic, artistic, lifestyle, dramatic, and documentary. I primarily specialize in artistic and documentary, and I always allow my clients to indicate stylistic preferences for certain shots or parts of the ceremony. I shoot in both natural and controlled light, though I tend to prefer natural light depending on the time of the wedding. I also recognize the impact that shooting digital versus film can have on the outcome of the overall images. Most of my clients request digital photography, though I do have some that want some or all film shots."
