In the same way that wedding trends are constantly in flux – from boho minimalism to classical grandeur – so are wedding photography trends.
If you’re unsure as to what technique to use to inspire your wedding photos, here are some five top photography trends to expect throughout 2022 to help you decide:
1. First look photographs
Many couples are putting a bigger emphasis on first-look photos. Whether it be capturing the father’s first glimpse or even photographing the first looks from the groomsmen – something that’s recently become popular – this trend never goes out of fashion.
Perhaps this is due to the fact it’s a timeless tradition that you continue to be modernized. For instance, you can even use it to surprise the bridesmaids who are yet to see the bride in all her glory.
2. Hollywood flash photography
Flash photography is used to provide momentary illumination to a darkly-lit room or subject. This trend is a hark back to the glamour and magical atmosphere that encapsulates old Hollywood. It’s a more youthful and outgoing approach to photography that you can use to capture dancefloor celebrations and other festivities of the day.
3. Laid back approach
If you’re leaning towards a more intimate and smaller wedding, consider a laid-back approach for your wedding photography. This involves real-life laughter, smiles, and genuine memories caught in a candid environment. Capture you and the bridesmaids in your matching pajama sets on the day of the wedding, or take a funny photo as a couple. The options are endless.
4. Candid reception imagery
Given that the pandemic prevented large gatherings for the majority of the past two years, 2022 is the year of reunion. That’s why candid reception imagery is predicted to become a huge trend in 2022 as it places greater significance on the family as a whole.
City shots
As the most populous city in Louisiana, capturing the hustle and bustle of New Orleans in your wedding shots is a great way to honor where you come from. City shots are a huge trend in 2022 as they allow you to capture the fun, natural vibrancy of the day. They also give you the chance to inject some personality into your wedding photos by choosing a place that reflects your character or that’s important to you and your partner.
