Top 3 Wedding Photography Trends in 2023

Are you looking for some hot new trends to incorporate into your big day? Look no further, Capture Life Today is sharing 3 top trends today in 2023 in wedding photography that will for sure make your day stand out to you and your guests. Who wouldn’t want to stand out on their wedding day?

1. Candid Moments

There is no question that candid portraiture has taken the driver's seat when it comes to wedding photography. Couples are wanting more and more to move away from traditional portraiture and posing and keep it laid back and authentic with candid shots. Although it is so important to remember to snap all the "must have shots” , do not forget to have fun and truly capture your love in a genuine and memorable manner. Try to relax and enjoy all the unprompted kisses, endless laughing and dancing. Then allow your photographer to capture your young love.

2. Photos Taken by Guests What better way to involve your guests than asking them to capture the wedding day through their point of view. Many couples now are requesting disposable or polaroid cameras for each guest or at each table. This allows your guests to snap stolen moments throughout the night between you and your loved ones. This is a unique and intimate way to capture your special day and remember who was there to celebrate with you. Disposable cameras are especially fun because the wedding party has to wait to see the results, there will be no “reshooting” or “getting someone's good side”, all moments will be truly authentic.

3. Direct Flash

Photography that has a vintage and timeless feel has become increasingly popular in the past few years and is definitely one of the top trends in 2023. Most photographers use flash in low light situations but are now pulling the flash out more and more to achieve the vintage look that their clients desire. If this is something you like, make sure to request direct flash photography throughout the day from your photographer and even your videographer.
