Wedding Trends: Blending Classic Charm with Modern Flair in Your Wedding Photos
Wedding trends come and go, and as your dedicated photographers, we make it our mission to stay current with what resonates most with couples today. But timelessness is just as important as trendiness when capturing your special day. Here’s a curated list of wedding trends — both old and new — and tips on how to incorporate them thoughtfully into your wedding photographs.
1. Unplugged Weddings: Presence Over Pixels
Why it’s trending: Couples want guests to be fully present, appreciating the moment without screens. What we do:
Remind couple to inform guests ahead of time to set expectations.
As photographers, we step in confidently to capture all the important moments professionally.
This results in more authentic and emotive images as everyone is engaged with the couple, not their devices.
2. First Look Photos: Intimate and Timeless
Why it’s a classic: This private moment between the couple lets genuine emotions shine. What we do:
Schedule the first look before the ceremony to ease nerves and allow more time for couple portraits.
Use natural light or soft golden hour lighting if possible, for warm, romantic images.
3. Micro Weddings: More Intimate, More Real
Why it’s trending: Smaller guest lists mean more meaningful connections. What we do:
Focus on details like décor, personal touches, and expressions that often get lost in larger events.
Create storytelling sequences that highlight the intimacy of the day.
4. Vintage Elements: Nostalgia Meets Now
Why it’s trending: Couples love incorporating family heirlooms or retro aesthetics. What we do:
Capture close-ups of vintage jewelry, lace, or décor.
Use film-inspired filters or natural light to enhance the retro vibe.
5. Sustainable Weddings: Eco-Friendly Focus
Why it’s trending: Environmentally conscious choices reflect in thoughtful details. What we do:
Highlight reusable décor, locally sourced flowers, or eco-conscious attire.
Showcase the story behind these choices to add depth to the photo narrative.
