Picture perfect

Now you know what’s hot in the world of film it’s time to see what trends are picture perfect this wedding season…

• Film photography: As with videography, this vintage effect is taking the photography world by storm. While digital photography remains a staple for most couples, requests for film have been on the rise. Point and shoot cameras give images a nostalgic, fleeting quality – especially when photographing fun-filled dancing and party scenes.

• Direct flash: Want to feel like you’ve been snapped by the paparazzi on your big day? Using flash photography is a great way to give that look that everyone is used to from pop culture mags and the red carpet. Another reason for the resurgence of flash photography is that it gives consistent lighting and helps to capture those intimate moments even in less desirable conditions. So, rest assured that even the unpredictable Scottish weather won’t stop you getting great photos!

• Candid imagery: The days of the staged wedding photo may be behind us with many ‘togs noting that more natural images from the day (where both the you and your guests’ emotions can be clearly seen) are often client faves. Will you be embracing a more candid, authentic form of imagery to really capture the spirit of your special day?

• Photos by guests: Some soon tobe-wed couples are giving guests the opportunity to catch unique and intimate shots on their own, so why not add to the carefully curated work of your professional wedding photographer(s) with this inclusive, relaxed idea? One big trend for 2023 is leaving out polaroid/ disposable cameras for your nearest and dearest to use at the dinner table –or they could take them to the dance floor (is this reminding anyone else of the iconic Friends episode where Ross and Chandler buy disposable cameras and dress up for a wedding reception they're not even invited to to snap some pics?) This is a great option if you want to expand upon the film trend with some personal footage from those at the heart of festivities.

Whatever media style you decide on, be sure to meet with your photographer beforehand (either in person or on Zoom) and closely examine plenty of their work to ensure they're the right fit for you. ♥
