Hey there, beautiful souls! It’s your friend from Karen Doody Photography, diving into the heartbeats and fleeting glances of wedding photography trends that are shaping up to be the talk of 2024. Courtesy of our pals at The Knot, we’ve got the inside scoop on what’s hot, what’s nostalgic, and what’s absolutely breathtaking in the wedding scene this year. Let’s chat, shall we?
The Beauty of Blur
First up, we’re seeing a lot of love for blurred action shots. Think about capturing those infectious dance moves, the excited rush to the altar, or that hilarious cake-in-the-face moment—all with a beautiful, motion-filled blur. It’s all about feeling the movement and the moment. Aren’t weddings just a whirlwind of joy?
Old-School Cool with Disposable Cameras
Guess what’s making a huge comeback? Disposable cameras! It’s like we’re all invited to be paparazzi at the party, snapping candid moments from our own angles. There’s something so genuine about leafing through photos that everyone’s captured. It’s the wedding through your eyes—grain, flash, and all.
Real Stories with Documentary Photography
We’re still riding high on documentary or photojournalistic photography. It’s like your wedding is a storybook, and each photo is a page telling the truth in its purest form—no poses, just raw, heartfelt moments. It’s the unstaged laughter, those quiet exchanges, and the dance floor shenanigans that really tell the tale of your day.
Nostalgic Charm with Polaroid Photography
Stepping into the spotlight with a wave of nostalgia is Polaroid photography. There's something incredibly intimate and charming about the instant print photos that Polaroids offer. Imagine your guests snapping away, capturing the love, laughter, and the unmistakable retro vibe of your special day. Each Polaroid photo becomes a unique, tangible keepsake that you and your guests can treasure immediately.
The Timeless Charm of Film
There’s something undeniably magical about film photography. It’s as if each shot is wrapped in a layer of nostalgia and warmth. This trend is for those who love the texture, the grain, and the surprises that come with film. Each photo is not just a memory; it’s a piece of timeless art.
Direct Flash for the Bold
Direct flash photography is for the bold and the beautiful! It’s edgy, it’s striking, and it brings a certain kind of night-life chic to your wedding photos. If you’re all about making a statement, this trend will light up your world (quite literally).
Whispers Under the Veil
And then, there’s something utterly romantic about those under-the-veil portraits. It’s just you two, in a cocoon of love, lit softly by the world outside. These photos are intimate, they’re soulful, and they speak a thousand words about your bond.
Embracing Tradition with Flower Grannies or Flower People
In a delightful twist on tradition, the roles of flower girls are being filled by the young at heart. Flower grannies or flower people, regardless of age, are taking to the aisle with the charm and grace that only they can bring. This addition adds a layer of personalization and warmth to your ceremony, celebrating love across generations.
Including Your Furry Friends
Pets are more than just animals; they’re family. Including your pets in your wedding festivities brings a sense of home, comfort, and playfulness to your day. From dogs dressed in bow ties to cats lounging in the sun, these moments with your pets are candid, heartwarming, and irreplaceable.
So, there you have it—2024 is looking absolutely dazzling through the lens, and at Karen Doody Photography, we’re more than just excited; we’re thrilled to embark on this journey with you. Whether you’re swooning over the retro vibes of film or dreaming of aerial shots, we’re here to capture your love story in all its unique glory.
