Hey there, soon-to-be-married friends!
If you’re planning your wedding for 2025, you’re probably thinking about how to make your day truly unique, and special to you. You want it to be a reflection of you and your partner's love and relationship, right? Photography has evolved so much over the years, and 2025 is shaping up to be full of creative, beautiful trends that will capture your love story in unforgettable ways.
So, if you’re ready to add a little something special to your wedding album, here are the top 10 wedding photography trends you should know about!
1. Candid Vibes, Not Stiff Poses
Look, I get it. You want your wedding photos to feel real, not like a weird school portrait session. In 2025, couples are ditching the stiff poses and embracing more candid shots. Think: belly-laughing with your besties, a stolen kiss during the ceremony, or that look you and your partner share. These moments are priceless and make for so much more meaningful photos.
2. Film Photography Is Back—And It’s Gorgeous
Okay, hear me out. Film photography is making a comeback, and it’s kind of magical. There’s something about the soft, romantic vibe it gives off that digital photos just can’t quite replicate. If you’re into that old-school, vintage aesthetic, you’re gonna love this trend. Plus, the graininess just adds so much character, don’t you think?
3. Drone Shots = Your Wedding, But From The Sky
If you’ve ever wanted to feel like royalty, drone shots are the way to go. Picture this: your wedding venue, your bridal party, the whole shebang, captured from a bird’s-eye view. It’s a total game-changer. Trust me, your wedding album will look next level with these aerial shots.
4. It’s All in the Details
Your wedding day is packed with little moments that make it yours. Those intricate lace details on your dress? The gorgeous florals in your bouquet? Your handmade invitations? All of these little things deserve to be captured too. In 2025, photographers are putting a bigger focus on these details, making your wedding album feel even more personal.
5. More Couple Time = Better Photos
Let’s be real—your wedding day can fly by in a whirlwind. But what if you could slow down and take a few moments to actually enjoy each other’s company? Couples in 2025 are making sure they carve out time for quiet moments alone—whether it’s a few minutes before the ceremony or a dreamy sunset portrait session. Trust me, these moments make for some of the most beautiful, intimate photos.
6. Intimate Weddings & Elopements Are Here to Stay
The big, traditional weddings are great, but more and more couples are opting for intimate ceremonies and elopements. And you know what? They’re so special. Whether you’re tying the knot in a tiny chapel or eloping to the mountains, these intimate celebrations give us all the feels. Plus, they’re perfect for those super personal, emotional photos.
7. Nature Is Your Wedding Backdrop
If you’re a nature lover, this trend is for you. Outdoor weddings—whether it’s a forest, a beach, or a stunning garden—are huge right now. I mean, who wouldn’t want to exchange vows with the sunset as your backdrop? These natural settings create a beautiful, dreamy atmosphere, and I can’t wait to capture all of it for you.
8. Unplugged Ceremonies: More Connection, Less Distraction
You know those weddings where everyone is snapping photos on their phones during the ceremony? We’re seeing a big shift away from that. More couples are asking their guests to be present, put down their phones, and just soak in the moment. And honestly, it’s such a beautiful choice! It lets us capture raw, emotional moments without a sea of phones blocking the view.
9. Bridal Party Photos… But Make It Fun
Who says bridal party photos have to be all serious and posed? 2025 is all about having fun with it! Think laughing, dancing, jumping, and just being goofy with your squad. After all, these people are your ride-or-die, so why not have some fun in front of the camera, right?
10. Black & White Photos Are Timeless (And Totally Stunning)
Sometimes, a photo just looks better in black and white. I’m talking about those emotional, powerful shots—your first kiss, your parents’ proud tears, or a quiet moment with your partner. Black-and-white photography adds an extra layer of emotion and timelessness that color just can’t capture. Seriously, it never goes out of style.
Pro Tip: Make It You
Trends are great, but don’t forget to make your wedding photography about YOU. It’s your day, your love, and your memories. Work with a photographer who understands your vision and can bring it to life in a way that feels authentic. Whether you’re loving the candid shots, vintage film vibes, or the nature backdrop, it’s all about creating a collection of photos that tell your unique story.
