As the beginning of 2017 is drawing to an end and the first quarter of 2018 coming to an end, there’s still time to take a look at the latest trends in wedding photography this year. Here’s a brief overview of several of the latest and intriguing fashions that are sweeping the wedding photography scene from the beginning of the year. Here are some ideas to help you determine is the best wedding photography strategy to implement for your own wedding day:
* Prenuptial photos Pre-wedding photo shoots have been an ongoing trend for the past 10 years and is showing no sign of slowing down, mostly due to its ease of use and advantages. The prenuptial photo shoots are available in many forms and shapes. Some prefer to have intimate photo shoots that only include the bride and groom or include the whole bridal party dressed in wedding gowns. The benefit of shooting photos prior to the wedding ceremony is that it gives greater time for bride and groom to have a celebration with their guests rather than spending a lot of time at the wedding reception to have the perfect wedding photograph for the ultimate wedding photo.
* Unplugged We’ve all seen memes. It’s a big dislike for photographers to need to capture the wedding ceremony or a party with everyone’s smartphones set up to create the perfect Instagram story. Wedding ceremonies without amplification are wonderful as they keep your guests at the moment and away from their phones or at least for the ceremony. With every person with a cameras trying to get an amazing photo of the wedding couple and the couple, it’s easy to imagine how badly ruined wedding photos are a big problem. One option to guarantee the perfect wedding photos for the day of your wedding is to not use a camera.
• Drone-based photography Though hover cars are still far from becoming a fact drones are in the air right today, and they are quite cool wedding photography tools. They can provide great aerial views of your entire wedding but they have their own drawbacks too especially as drone photography is an experimental technique. To ensure that you get high-quality drone photography on your wedding day, be sure your photographer is insured, licensed and is insured, licensed and has received an extensive course in the use of drones.
* Photojournalistic photography: Another booming style of wedding photos is the photojournalistic method that allows photographers to capture events when they occur, thus eliminating photos that appear “too posed” or scripted. These photos keep the memories of the wedding in a more authentic way rather than resulting in photographs that are too posed or directed.
