Go in between. Moist lips, but not glossy.
You want a little bit of shine. Matte will make your lips look life fish lips. Seriously!

It all depends on what look you are going for. Either one will work, but the glossy lips will probably only be good for close-up shots of you, they will be lost in full length and group shots, in those cases bright red/pink matte lipstick gives great lip definition.
Buy a Wedding magazine and look through the photographs, find something you like and use it as your inspiration.

Matte lipsticks supposedly last longer than glossy ones. Sometimes I top matte lipsticks with gloss to create a shiny lip. The combo doesn't wear as well, but I think it's pretty.

I would go with the Matte Lipstick. You don't want your lips to look to wet. The glossy will give a sheen to your lips in the pictures. Good luck hope this helps!!!

go glossy at the wedding, but for formal pictures pat your finger over it. Stick with a cream finish and stay away from ANY frosted lipstick (or gloss)- because of the shimmer it has a tendency to read as black or white in photographs. Matte will read as very dry in digital pictures. If you play up your eyes, stick with a less dramatic color on the lips. If your eyes are understated, go for more color on the lips. At the wedding you may want to have someone designated to be the keeper of the lipstick and ask them to check your lips (and teeth) regularly!

I would suggest a matt lipstick as I think glossy lips look glassy in photos and the effect is not good.

I also would say in between. Matte is too flat for pictures unless they are black and white. Glossy will give you shiny, lost spots....A matte lipstick with a Matte gloss....will add just enough luster to the lips without making them look wet and drooly.

I suggest you wear a matte lipstick with a touch of gloss on the top and bottom center of your lips. This will give your lips a beautiful look. To make your lipstick last longer (avoiding excessive touch ups) fill in your whole lip with a lip liner (same color as your lipstick) then apply your lipstick and finally apply gloss just in the center. I'm sure you will look spectacular.
