Choosing the best wedding photography can add a magical touch to your fairytale wedding.

In this blog, let us delve into the trending wedding photography ideas for 2025 and how you can implement the same on your special day. We have made a comprehensive list of all new and upcoming trends for lively and creative wedding photography.

Top 10 Wedding Photography Trends For 2025

1. Real Poses 

Pictures that do not speak any emotions are of the yesteryears. Unusual and intriguing poses with the creative utilization of the location and props can add an emotional element to otherwise bland wedding photos. The core point is to relax and be yourself; do not hold yourself back from being playful or funny. The images have to reflect you as a person and as a couple.

2. Couple Story

Every couple has a gorgeous and unique love story, and we cherish those fond moments. Tell your wedding story to your wedding photographer and let them convey your story in their shots. This series of photos will speak about the journey of your love and happiness.

3. Adieu To Sepiagate Editing

Sepia color editing has been a standard norm in the past years, and following the controversy over the same, couples are deviating from the warm-tone trend towards more real and true-to-life wedding photo editing. The actual images in your wedding gallery can prevent it from looking outdated in the future.

4. Candid Photography Prevails

Authentic and genuine wedding moments captured through the camera lenses are still in trend and will prevail in 2025. Couples want photos that can bring back memories that instill emotions and return them to that moment.

5. Focussed Pictures

Talking on the technical side, images with higher F-stops have more parts of the picture in focus. This does not imply that images with blurred backgrounds will make their way out. You create a documentary-style approach to your creative wedding shots by including more elements in focus.

6. First Look

This is a rising trend and is here to stay. The first look photo captures the moment the couple sees each other for the first time on their wedding day. This creates a candid and memorable shot, as the couple appears fresh in their wedding attire before the day’s excitement takes its toll.

7. Acquaintance Rehearsal

It is always good to acquaint yourself with your photographer before the wedding day. You have the opportunity to get comfortable with the photographer. Since some couples prefer not to have engagement photography, capturing the rehearsal dinner or welcome party can be valuable.

8. Messy Midnight Photography

Perfectionism has its place, but messy details are vivid memories. Messy midnight photos of the half-eaten cake, strewn flower petals, or empty beer cans, captured through the lens of the creative photographer, add to the storyline element.

9. Behind The Scene

With advanced phones, it is easier to grasp the fun-filled behind-the-scenes moments. You do not have to wait until the edited photographer videos are delivered for your social media. This is not a replacement for professional photographs and videos but can add a quirky element to your wedding memories and give you quick content to share soon after the wedding day.

10. Aerial Drone

Drone photography is a must-have if you want to include modern photography trends in your wedding gallery. They have a unique aesthetic factor with full room shots and a bird’s eye view of the table decor and the venue. You get gorgeous shots of the couple walking down the aisle for outdoor weddings. By hiring a professional drone photographer, you can try endless shots.

By acquainting yourself with the latest trends in wedding photography for 2025, you can pre-plan your shots and props for your creative wedding shoots.
