DRAMATIC DRAPERY
Go above (literally) and beyond with this elegant look of high end fashion during your reception. Something so chaotic as a long draped and flowing sheet over a table, can quickly become a favourite part of your wedding, not only to you, but to each of your guests and their social feeds.
35mm film
Film has always been around. Always taking the world by storm producing gorgeous images, with the subtle green tones in the shadows and warm highlights. Film photography is already massively on the rise in weddings. Whether it's the main photographer shooting mixed digital and film or specifically hiring a second shooter to document just on film. This is something not to miss.
Harsh sun over golden hour
Golden hour has always been the "go to" time for wedding portraits, but in order to get these shots, couples have to sneak away from the celebrations and spend 30 minutes making the most of what's left of the light. Now, couples are seeking out a more natural and timeless look with harsh sun. Utilizing hard shadows and pockets of warm light to produce timeless imagery that you don't need to sneak away from your guests to achieve.
"vanity fair" style photobooth
As a photographer, nothing "icks" me more than seeing an out of place photobooth smack dab in the middle of the reception or to the side of a room where you have to quickly grab prop glasses and take tacky photos that don't match the vibe of your well thought out wedding.
Well, a new trend from BLANC PHOTO is showing outstanding results and becoming a fan favourite, turning a little moment on the sideline, into an opportunity not to miss out on. Turning what was once a "tacky photo" into a celebrity portrait opportunity your friends could only dream of getting. LOVE. IT.
Documentary style wedding photography
This is a big one! Which I personally think should be taken on much more in the coming years. A more emotional and personal touch to your wedding photos, with less "scheduled time" for photos but an emphasis on the in-between moments. Photos should be a window into what the day actually felt like throughout the entire day - the environment, location, guests, and details. Each part, creates a big impact on your day, and capturing the emotion around that has become a key factor when selecting the right photographer. Allow the day to unfold authentically in order to fully connect with your photos.
