I love all the floral and colourful dresses my brides have chosen, and the little touches like personalised shoes and veils that are also a big trend. For your big day, why not look at different styles and colours and choose a look that you really love and that represents you?” – Christina from Fish 2 Photography. “If you’re a bit camera shy, consider wearing heart-shaped sunglasses to create some fun images.” – Sarah from West View Photography. “If a couple sees a trend and wants to do something, I’m happy to talk through it with them and put our own spin on it. But I say, make your own trends.” – Joni from I Love You Thirteen. “In 2024, I think that more couples will be focusing on their experience with a photographer instead of the outcome. Moment-based portraits have always held more sentimental value for a couple, and while even the most natural-looking portraits can have an element of staging to them, walking shots with a focus on small details rather than orchestrated scenes are definitely going to take the spotlight this year.” – Rachel from Rachel Ovenden Photography. “My biggest trend will be to prompt and not pose, as no couple needs to be told how to stand.” – Tom from Tom Benson Photography. “The latest trends are all about capturing the authenticity of your special day.” – Sophie from LOOKsharpe Photography. “We feel more and more couples are looking for pure, authentic images.” – Janina from Reportage Studios. www.reportage-studios.com
