Wedding Photography Trends of 2020

                    

Changing times have impacted the ways wedding photography is done significantly. It is not enough to just book the services of the top candid wedding photographer of Udaipur or some other exotic place where you wish to organise your wedding and leave everything up to him/her. In this article, we have taken the help of some of the best candid wedding photographers of Goa to put together a list of the latest wedding photography trends of 2020.

1). A much-relaxed atmosphere: Unlike in the past where the big fat Indian wedding was used to be the norm, nowadays, people love to have a more relaxed and informal wedding ceremony. In such events, the couples are under very little stress and they can engage with their guests in a more relaxed and sociable way. While this type of marriage ceremony has no direct relation to any specific photographic trend, it shows that the young couple wishes to enjoy their most important day without costing a fortune. This change of style and relaxed atmosphere has also impacted the way the wedding photographers have to take photos to show the wedding couple and their guests in their candid moments in a relaxed atmosphere.

2).Documentary style photography: In the past, where a lot of photographs used to be taken to get every possible family shot combination wherein all the family members in their natural moments were captured on the film. However, nowadays people are looking towards a documentary type of wedding photography. In this type of photography, wedding photographers try to capture the relaxed and informal moments of the people attending the marriage ceremony. Some of the top candid wedding photographers in Mumbai are already witnessing a huge demand for this kind of wedding photography from their clients.

3). The second shooter: Nowadays, it has become a norm, especially among the upper-middle-class families to hire two shooters instead of one. According to this trend, one photographer captures all the beautiful moments of the bride and their family getting ready for the marriage ceremony, and at the same time, the second shooter is doing the same as the groom’s party. As couples become more aware of the importance of photography, they have hit upon this idea to ensure that every moment of both sides is captured so that they can relive these moments later by looking at the photographs from both angles. Additionally, couples are also hiring videographers to make a mini film of the entire event which will allow them to view all the events leading up to their marriage and Vidai in a documentary format that will make it look more real compared to still photographs.

4). First look photographs: Inspired by Hollywood, some brides want to capture the moment their father sees them the first time when they are draped in their wedding saree. The look of pride in the eyes of their parents when they see their daughter all grown up and dressed like a princess is something which most brides wish to capture in the film.

5). Social media: Social media plays an important role in our lives and it is but natural that the bride or the groom would love to post their pictures online. Therefore, many of them ask the wedding photographer to take a few shots for their Instagram, Facebook, or any other social media platforms which they can upload quickly. The photographer can send them the finely edited album later. The reason is that many times some guests upload photos from their mobile phone even before the bride or groom can post it on their own social media account. Therefore, if the bride or the groom had a few photos that they can upload on their account quickly, then they look fresh and their friends who could not attend their wedding can comment on it in real-time.

These are just some of the modern trends that we can witness in wedding photography. If you wish to hire a wedding photographer then you must keep these trends into your mind and sign the contract accordingly.
