4 Best Wedding Photography Trends Every Candid Photographer Must Use
Starting as a fad, candid photography is now as important as traditional photography at any wedding. Take a look at top trends for candid wedding photography.
What’s the duty of the Best Wedding Photographer? It is to create a memoir of beautiful memories of the whole event while being professional. After all, weddings are momentous occasions that come once in a lifetime, and everyone wants to cherish them. The simplest way to do so is photographers and videos. It is why the job of a wedding photographer so pivotal. Add to it the awareness of the current customer, it is has become crucial for marriage photographers to be on the top of the game.
How does a Candid Wedding Photography keep up with the times? The answer is by staying updated with the latest trends in photography. By being aware of the tricks of the trade, you will not only create heartfelt memories but be on top of the profession. So, without further ado, here are the four trends every wedding photographer should use.
- Black & White
There was a time when all the photographs were in black and white, and then technology was introduced. It made BW photographers take a back seat. Fast forward a few years and black and white photos made a comeback but only for artistic shots. Fast forward to today, and black & white images are dominating the scene, again. The trend is used in marriages and other special occasions, more and more. The reason for it is the absence of color. It keeps the focus on the moment captured on the image and not the composition of the picture. The lack of color brings to limelight people’s emotion and not the background.
2. Get a Drone
Just like candid, wedding photography exploded into popularity five or so years back, a new trend is now making a splash. Drone photography is one technique every wedding photographer must use. Because drones click photographs from up in the air, they bring a whole new perspective to the images. As long as you plan the photos correctly, the execution of drone wedding photos will be simple. And believe you us, the photographs will be the best you will have ever clicked.
The cherry on top of the cake is the pocket-friendly cost of drones. Some excellent options are available at reasonable price points. For a minimal amount of money, you get a gadget that helps capture photos and videos at a height in HD!
3. Go Underwater: Try Something New
For the wedding photographer sincerely wishing to do something new, underwater photography is the trend to follow. Waterproof gadgets and GoPro cameras have made it very easy to click photos underwater, even for amateurs. Until a few years ago, this type of photography was only used for swimmers and other water sports personalities. But in the last year or so more and more couples are opting for underwater wedding photography because it creates unique photos.
Candid had its era; the drone is currently rising, but it is underwater photographs that will rule the future. The reason for it is the gorgeous result water brings to images.
4. Use Stop Motion
While photos are the undeniable memoirs of a wedding, videos are just as important. For every wedding album, there is a video to accompany it. The latest trend in wedding videos is stop motion. Stop motion creates short films using still photos. The photos are animated and then combined to form a video. Pleasing sound effects are added to bring the whole video together.
Stop motion films are in demand because they are easy to share on social media, a must for the current age of internet and viral videos. The short films can be used as a part of the wedding invitation or as a trailer to the actual event. They are even used for save the dates to set the mood for the occasion.
Barring the four techniques explained above, some other trends that the best wedding photographers are using to ply their trade. They include wedding hashtags and smoke bombs as props. The gist is – photography is about creativity and wedding a platform that allows for a surfeit of it. Use it, and your professional will prosper.

Wedding photography in particular and Photography in general is getting more and more creative and innovative day by day. So many new technologies have fueled this growth including the likes of drones. But the basic essence of photography still remains capturing that perfect moment.

That’s very cool weeding photography ideas. The black and white photos, use of drone and slow motion sounds like an exciting plan

I so love black and white photography. I don’t think I would have wanted all of my wedding pictures to be black and white though. I also love vintage. I think a variety of pictures make your day super special. We had video at our wedding 23 years ago, but it wasn’t like what we have today. Great article.

Flossie
I have to say, I’d never thought of using either a drone or the element of water for wedding photography. But the idea of a drone is pretty neat! Our wedding photos had plenty of water, but that was just from the periodic thunderstorms passing through lol…
Khushboo
These are some really cool and amazing ideas to make wedding photos memorable for life.

I went to a wedding recently that used a drone and they got the most amazing shots and videos. I wish they used these when I got married.

I like Stop Motion. It is widely used in artistic films, shorts, and commercials.

I love the idea of stop motion for weddings. I wish I had that. It is nice when you have a video like creation from your special day. I do love black and white too of course!
Janell
I hadn’t considered wedding photography keeping up with the latest trends but it’s certainly fascinating. While I would expect some of these trends to die within a few years, I also love that black & white photography has made a comeback. Don’t all things tend to come full circle?
Purva Bhatia
Absolutely!
Kate Loves Travel
Great ideas! We had some black and white photos in our wedding album as I’m a big fan – they look so stylish.
Elizabeth O
This post makes me want to get married again. I love the idea of a drone and stop motion. How cool!
Stephanie
I got married about 7 years ago and none of this was popular then. That just shows how fast it all changes! I do have some photos in black and white, and I agree that they make the photo about the moment more than a color photo does.
chelf
My photographer was talking about how important it is to get a drone last week. I suppose it makes a lot of difference and offers so many different options!
