In 2026, we will see a new shift in perceptive according to the wedding experts and as already seen in our most recent real-bride’s galleries. When you once provided a list of core family groupings and VIPs now couples are seeking a new format of photography beyond the traditional shot list. And we aren’t just expecting compositions to change but even full-on perspective, capturing ‘the love’ from all angles. Think angles over-head, pulled back scale for a impressive environmental or mixing depths and focus as an alternative to solo portraits - all of these approaches have been used in fashion photography for decades now and we are excited to finally these compositions surfacing into the weddings sector. We agree that couples who are willing to play with the definition of a timeless photo will achieved more with a modern lens and result in an actual piece of art. 

How to get this look: don’t be constrained by the formality of portrait photography. If you were to analysis your favorite photos of family and friends, it’s unlikely they are ones standing in linear formation. Look to hire a photographer who has an innate eye for capturing people in their elements, candid and with constrictions, then trust their creative instincts to create.
