The most precious thing you’ll have post-wedding day bliss, besides a long and happy life with your partner, are photos to commemorate this event. Here are several trends to consider in order to capture as many priceless moments as possible:
Disposable Cameras– sometimes the best memories are the candid ones captured by friends, so consider leaving disposable cameras on all the tables for guests to use.
Candid Shots– In line with providing guests with disposable camera options, consider asking your professional photographer to focus less on highly stylized poses and consider asking for an abundance of candid shots that will be more likely to capture the genuine feelings and vibes of your ceremony, guests, and venue.
Reels—Memories don’t just need to be still photos; a popular trend is having photographers curate a series of reels for Instagram or TikTok-ready posts so that when it comes time to share your memories with others, the mix of music, video, and still images expertly captures the feel of your day so you can relive it again and again.
Drone Photography—While not ideal for every moment at a wedding, drone footage of outdoor weddings and larger wedding parties can really change the wedding picture game. Ask your photographer if it’s a service they can provide and consider capturing video of your guests filling the seats, an aerial view of the service, or even just panoramic views of the landscape and surrounding area of your wedding venue for weddings outdoors.
Direct Flash Photography—Looking for a bold and dramatic look? Ask your photographer about direct flash photography, which creates high contrast in the lighting for an old Hollywood glamor and a high-fashion look. This style is perfect for evening weddings and indoor events and is sure to capture the warmth found in a fall/winter wedding.
