PHOTOGRAPHY

Choosing a wedding photographer is one of the most important decisions you will make when planning your wedding. Whoever you choose will be in charge of creating lasting memories of your special day, so take into account the style, special effects and quality of the photographs you would like. Your photography requirements are unique, so it is important to choose a photographer that reflects your personal style and meets your wedding needs.

RELAXED WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

Candid style shots are still popular with couples leaning towards a more authentic look to their photos - less formal, posed type shots and more relaxed, natural, free form images.

NATURAL ENVIRONMENT PHOTOGRAPHY

Taking advantage of the natural beauty surrounding them, photographers are creating some breathtaking photos for weddings. With these shots, the couple are captured within a setting that shows them to be a small part of a much larger environment. This connection with nature produces powerfully emotive images. Couples are also taking advantage of Drones to capture stunning aerial shots of them in the Natural Environment from a whole different perspective.

SAME DAY EDITS

Same day edits offer entertainment at your reception for your guests. They will love watching a slideshow of the day! Just make sure that your photographer doesn’t miss out on good photo opportunities due to being busy making the slideshow. If more than one photographer is shooting your wedding, then there will be no need for concern. It’s a great idea as long as the important stuff on the day is still being captured.

POPULAR BRIDE SHOTS

As well as the couple’s first look, a first look with the bride’s father is also popular, as are father-daughter dances, and amazing veil shots - the longer the better!

THE FIRST LOOK

The first look is still a popular trend where couples meet up before their ceremony. The sense of anticipation makes for emotional, powerful and natural pre-wedding photos.

The father-daughter first look is also popular with those who share that special bond with their dad.

THE FINER DETAILS

Producing memorable photos capturing those finer details. Close ups of the wedding table, flowers, rings etc add extra colour and beauty to a wedding album and can produce highly emotive images despite not having a person in the photo.

NON-TRADITIONAL WEDDING PARTIES

Uneven bridal parties e.g., where the bride may have more bridesmaids than the number of groomsmen. Also popular is the trend where brides might have a “brides man” rather than a “maid” and the same for the groom. Plus animals are becoming more popular, sometimes even replacing the bridal party altogether.

EDITING STYLES

Do you like black and white, natural, moody or boho (orange toned) inspired photos? Subtle differences in editing styles can make a difference to your finished album.

LIGHTS CREATING PHOTOS

By this, we mean actual lights strung around a couple to create a photo at night.

CANDID GUEST CAPTURE

While candid shots of the couple are popular - so too are shots of the guests. Whether they are captured enjoying the wedding ceremony or reception, these candid shots highlight the atmosphere of your special day.
