8 Wedding Photography Trends for 2016

Who doesn't love Wedding Photography ? Gone are the days when Indian weddings had the standard old school photographer taking ill-timed shots of people stuffing their faces with food and having the guests & couple pose in one place for the photos. 

Nowadays Wedding Photography (and photographers) are getting more innovative.  Over the past year we've noticed trends wherein brides and grooms have their pre-wedding shoots at different locations to the actual wedding; the couples are jumping onto the selfie-bandwagon; bridesmaids & groomsmen are getting their swag on and much more ! 

Photographers are happy to incorporate different themes and unique ideas because photography as a whole is a pretty dynamic space at weddings.  Here are a few photography trends that our facebook timelines and our instagram page will be obsessed with sooner or later. 


1. Selfie Shot


Do you really need a photographer for a selfie ? Nah ! But when your photographer captures and incorporates your selfies into dreamy pics - that's when you relish them ! 


2. Capturing The Proposal


We're seeing more & more Grooms approaching us to get the photography teams to capture The Proposal !  Women are over the moon when being proposed to - and it's only natural that they would want that moment to be captured permanently.  

 3. Levitation Shoots


We haven't seen this too often but can totally see this happening in 2016 ! 


4. Couple Mood Board


This is a great way of getting the couple ready for the actual wedding shoot.  It's natural, and captures the various moods and expressions of the couple and it brings out the cheekiness in them !


5. Groom-It-Up


Wedding photography has always been about the Bride - pics of her getting ready, getting her hair done up; flaunting the lehenga and her fab heels ... but what about the Groom ?? The AKA Groom gets to feel like a rockstar when we secretly send the photography team to capture his behind-the-scene moments.  Trust us, Grooms love this ! 

 6. Underwater Shots


As long as you don't mind getting totally drenched and not repeating your outfit; we totally love the idea of underwater shoots.  This is why waterproof cameras and videocams were invented ! So fairy-tale-ish.

7. Over Head Shots

A photo trend that will never go out of fashion; and now with the help of drones - the shots get even more fab ! A beautiful top shot is just oh-so-romantic ! 
8. Get Your Swag On



The West has had Swag shots of the wedding party for a while now; and thanks to designers like Sabyasachi who have incorporated the concept into their print ads - we're seeing more and more couples have their bridesmaids & groomsmen join the fun for some super swag photos ! 

Just remember, when it comes to wedding photography - there's nothing that can't be done.  It's all about how much fun you're willing to have when getting your photos shot :)
