Wedding bells are still ringing loud in 2025—but the way we capture those magical moments? Oh, that’s changing faster than you can say “flash!”
Whether you’re planning a wedding, attending one, or just love scrolling through dreamy Instagram feeds, here’s a behind-the-lens look at what’s trending—and what’s being retired—for wedding photography this year.
What’s HOT in 2025:
1: Candid Documentary Style Is Taking Over
Forget rigid poses and fake smiles. This year, it’s all about real emotions, unscripted moments, and storytelling frames. Photographers are leaning into a journalistic approach, capturing the quiet glances, the goofy laughter, and the mid-dance chaos that make your day truly yours.
Our take: These photos may not be “perfect”—but they’re perfectly you. And honestly? That’s what lasts.
2. Editorial & Fashion-Inspired Shoots
Thanks to Pinterest and Vogue Brides, more couples are asking for editorial-style portraits—think dramatic lighting, cinematic frames, and poses straight out of a magazine.
Luxury meets creativity, and brides are loving it.
Bonus: It’s your one chance to feel like a cover model. Own it.
3. Golden Hour is Non-Negotiable
If your photographer doesn’t mention “golden hour,” run. This magical time just after sunrise or before sunset adds a glow that no filter can match.
It’s the perfect moment for couple portraits, dreamy backdrops, and sun-kissed memories.
4. 360-Degree & Drone Shots
Hello aerial views and Matrix-style spins! Couples are investing in drone photography and 360-degree setups for that wow-factor perspective—especially for outdoor venues, mandaps, and reception dances.
Because sometimes, a regular shot just doesn’t do the moment justice.
5. Hybrid Packages: Photo + Video + Teasers
No more choosing between photos or videos. 2025 weddings are going hybrid—cinematic highlight reels, teaser trailers, slow-motion snippets, and more are included with the photo package.
It’s not just about memories anymore—it’s about content.
What’s NOT Hot in 2025:
1. Stiff Poses & Matchy-Matchy Setups
Perfectly arranged families with frozen grins? A thing of the past. Overly coordinated outfits in the same shade of lilac? Nope.
Today’s couples want vibe, movement, and personality—not picture-day awkwardness.
2. Overdone Prop Shoots
Chalkboards, fake moustaches, and “bride/groom” signs were cute… in 2015. This year, it’s all about authentic settings and natural props—like your grandma’s sari, a childhood location, or even your pup.
Props should feel like you, not like you borrowed Pinterest’s entire board.
3. Basic Backdrops
Plain floral walls and cardboard cutouts? Out. Stylized décor, layered textures, and nature-forward elements (like banana leaves, temple steps, or fairy-lit trees) are winning hearts—and frames.
The goal: Make your wedding look like it belongs in a coffee-table book.
Final Flash: Make It Yours
Trends come and go, but your wedding day is about your story, your love, and your laughter. The best photographers in 2025 aren’t just clicking—they’re observing, waiting, and capturing moments you didn’t even know you’d want to remember.
Whether you’re a glam couple or minimalists at heart, make sure your photos reflect who you are—not just what’s trendy.
Because 10 years from now, you won’t care about the editing style.
You’ll care about that stolen kiss, that quiet smile, and that wild dance floor twirl
