A proposal used to be a really private moment between two individuals in love but today, couples want to ensure that those special moments when she says ‘Yes’ are captured on camera too. It’s a wonderful way to let loved ones be a part of the occasion later!

Getting gorgeous landscapes in the frame from a great height is still trending in a big way. This 2017 wedding photography trend isn’t just restricted to still photos alone; in fact drone shots look awesome when used in wedding videos too.
Bridal Portraits

Asking the bride to pose in a multitude of ways and look sexy when she is trying to still the butterflies in her tummy, is a challenge most brides hate. Which is why its not unusual for brides to ask their photographers to do a series of portraits and still shots before the actual wedding day. This way, the bride is relaxed, gets to have fun and so does the photographer.

We’ve gotten so used to sharing our private lives online, so why shouldn’t a wedding be shared with the world? Couples are chilled out about wedding guests uploading photographs taken pronto at the wedding itself to online social media sites. The good news is that the couple will have plenty of candid photos to choose from later! We heart this 2017 wedding photography trend.
First Look Photos

Wouldn’t it sweet to capture the look that a father has when he sees his bedecked daughter for the first time? Or imagine if a bride’s blush as her eyes rest on her partner’s face is caught on film? Well, this 2017 wedding photography trend we love includes capturing ‘first’ looks and ‘first’ blushes as they happen.
Casual Family Photos

We love that more couples want photos that show everybody smiling, having fun, relaxing and in general, keeping their stress levels to a minimum. We wouldn’t exactly call it candid photography as such, but there’s a bigger degree of spontaneity and real emotion that wouldn’t otherwise be captured, which is why we predict that this 2017 wedding photography trend is going to be a huge hit.
Overhead Shots

There’s something nice about a photograph that’s clicked from a certain height simply because it offers a different angle which allows capturing a wider area of the room as well as of the people being clicked. Shots taken on staircases look particularly good from overhead angles.
Story Tales

Another 2017 wedding photography trend that’s doing the rounds is telling a story and in this case, specifically giving the guests titbits about both the families or just about the couple. Guests want to know details such as how the couples met, what their hobbies are and what they both like about each other- which couples are more than happy to oblige.
