Hello Everyone,
Here is article two of five. All of them are aimed toward future brides majorly, however you may find a few general photography tidbits of interest.
This particular article covers a very wide range of trends like “trash the dress”, “wedding day styles”, and my favorite “boudoir photography” (something I feel every woman should do- nothing will give you more selfconfidence!).
2. Photography styles and Trends—
Most every modern bride has searched “photojournalism”, “trash-the-dress”, or wedding “boudoir” in attempt to understand the newest styles and lingo in photography today. While many photographers are up with the trend, there are others who just believe fads come and go so why should they change their methods.
I’ve personally never shot a trash-the-dress session, and haven’t made it a marketing staple. That being said should a bride come to me on their accord and want this shoot, I will happily shoot it for her. Not everyone is the same and as the client what you want matters. Don’t be afraid to ask your photographer about these trends if you are interested, but in the same turn don’t be bullied into one of these sessions if you really DO NOT want it.
As for Photojournalism, traditional, modern styles— I’ve come to find that I actually do a little of all. I tend to mix and match, which is not uncommon for photographers. During your ceremony I capture as it goes- Photojournalism. After I take your traditional- smile pretty- posed family, wedding party, and bride and groom shots- Traditional. Then after the posed I take the Bride and Groom off on a little adventure, there I capture very hip and modern, but classy and priceless photos of them- Falling under modern. When searching styles of photography, make notes to ask your photographer when you meet with them. This will help you understand your wants better, and help your photographer figure out how best to make your dreams come true. If you meet with photographers who you don’t like their style, make notes and discuss your dislikes with the next photographer. You will eventually find one that you mesh with.
On to my final trend- bridal boudoir. This is my favorite trend for so many reasons. First, what groom wouldn’t love to see his beautiful bride dressed up? This makes the perfect wedding gift or honeymoon kick off. It can be done very classy, and catered to your level of comfort- I work with my brides to figure out exactly what they want and how they want it. I explain what needs to be done to capture their specifics up front so everyone knows all of the options, and can base the whole shoot on the bride’s comfort and ideas. Secondly, I think that every bride— every woman— should have these classy and gorgeous shots to look back at over the years. Seeing yourself decked out, make up done, and glamorous will heighten your confidence and self esteem. I wish I had gotten a boudoir session before my wedding (and I packed on the “happy” weight…). Done with the right photographer your boudoir session can be an amazing experience!
Trends aren’t for everyone, but you are the only one who should decide if it is right for you. Most of these new-fangled fads can be done after the wedding as well, so there is never a reason to feel rushed or pressured. Do your homework, and jump on in.
