Wedding photography trends to capture your day
You’ve spent ages picking the perfect dress, you have a Pinterest board full of flowers and aisle decoration ideas, and your save-the-date cards are in the post. But there’s just one thing left to organise… your wedding photography. With countless wedding photography trends and ideas out there, it’s natural for your mind to become quickly overloaded.


Even if you’ve booked a main photographer for the day, what about after they’ve gone home? What style are you thinking? Retro, journalistic, documentary-style, or selfies? Then, there are your post-wedding photo displays to consider. Do you want a wedding photo book or canvas prints? You slam your laptop shut, thinking, ‘I’ll decide later.’ Then, before you know it, later is here, and you need to make a ‘snapshot’ decision.


Why invest in high-quality wedding photography?
These new wedding photography trends leave no room for bland, posed pictures. Instead, they replace them with vibrant and unique wedding photo ideas you can remember forever.
1. Documentary-style photos
Say goodbye to awkwardly posing with your mum’s auntie’s partner and welcome in wedding photography that celebrates the authentic moments of your special day. Documentary-style photos are bursting with personality and capture your day's emotions as they’re happening.


You may be running into the sea in a wedding dress, hugging friends when your favourite song comes on, or having your first dance. These kinds of shots are ideal if you want to enjoy your wedding without worrying about staying still for the camera or pausing throughout the day for ‘the perfect shot’.


Why not arm your trusted friends with a FUJIFILM QuickSnap Flash Single-Use Camera once the photographer has left the building? Each one comes with 27 rounds of images, allowing your best pals to enjoy a bit of creative freedom and capture the subtle moments of your wedding reception at the same time.


The best part? You can pop into one of our
FUJIFILM stores and get the film developed. After what feels like a lifetime of waiting, you’ll be able to reflect on these special moments and feel all the emotions you felt on your wedding day all over again.
2. First look photos
First-look photos have become super popular, especially for couples that just can’t wait to see their other half before the ceremony. We don’t blame you! And if you’re superstitious about seeing your partner before getting married but still want to get butterflies before you walk down the aisle, we have a solution for you…


With an instax™ instant camera or instant photo printer in hand, you can get a friend from each wedding party to take a photo of the bride and groom. Then, they can take the instant photo print and deliver it to the unsuspecting partner for an emotional surprise. These photos make wholesome keepsakes that you can keep forever.


And technically, you won’t have seen each other in person… so it doesn’t really count, right?

4. Drone wedding photography
What could be more dramatic than a mesmerising image of your wedding taken from the sky? Wedding drone photography is an innovative way to see the ceremony from above. It creates a dramatic effect, capturing scenic shots of the wedding day that you may not have seen otherwise.


Why not get a drone wedding photographer to capture footage as you tie the knot or during the reception? The result will be an impressive and unique wedding photo that will stand out from the rest. Photos like these are just calling to be put on a landscape canvas print?.
5. 360-degree wedding photo booth
Essential? No. Absolutely hilarious? Yes. 360° photo booths have a camera that turns around a podium, creating a boomerang-style or slow-motion video.


Party guests can stand in the centre and, instead of posing for a still image, dance, chat and have fun while the 360° camera does all the hard work. It photographs those in-between moments when people interact, move and laugh — perfect for uploading onto social media once all the dancing is over.
