5 Wedding Photography Trends You’ll Love in 2025Wedding photography is evolving in 2025, bringing fresh and exciting trends that capture love stories in unique and artistic ways. Whether you’re planning your big day or looking for inspiration, here are five wedding photography trends you’ll absolutely love this year.
1. Cinematic StorytellingCouples are embracing cinematic photography, where their wedding albums look like scenes from a romantic movie. Photographers are using dramatic lighting, creative compositions, and emotional storytelling techniques to create breathtaking images that feel like timeless works of art.
2. Editorial-Style PortraitsInspired by fashion magazines, editorial-style wedding portraits are gaining popularity. With carefully curated poses, bold backdrops, and dramatic lighting, couples are opting for a more sophisticated and high-fashion feel to their wedding images. These stunning portraits add a touch of luxury and elegance to wedding albums.
3. Documentary-Style PhotographyGone are the days of stiff, posed photos—2025 is all about authentic, candid moments. Documentary-style photography focuses on capturing real emotions, laughter, and tears as they happen. This approach allows couples to relive their day exactly as it unfolded, full of raw and heartfelt moments.
4. Vintage Film PhotographyFilm photography is making a comeback, with many photographers offering both digital and film options. The nostalgic, soft, and dreamy quality of film adds a timeless charm to wedding photos. Expect warm tones, grainy textures, and an overall romantic aesthetic.
5. Drone Photography & VideographyAerial shots are taking wedding photography to new heights—literally! Drone photography allows for stunning bird’s-eye views of outdoor venues, beachfront ceremonies, and grand entrances, adding a dramatic and cinematic perspective to wedding albums and highlight reels.
As 2025 unfolds, these trends will redefine wedding photography, making every captured moment even more magical. Which trend are you most excited about? Let us know in the comments!

What Our Clients Are Saying

Pictures were one of my top priorities for my wedding. I spent a lot of time reading through photographers and even contacting some. I was also pretty nervous, I had never been professionally photographed before. Crystal and her team were SO easy to work with and immediately took away the nerves. I trusted her completely and I am so happy I did. Cannot recommend enough!  Ellen - Yorktown VA

If you're looking for an amazing photographer who is relaxed, has experience, and knowledge look no further. Crystal took our engagement and wedding photos. Not only were her photos amazing, but she is extremely responsive to messages and will even help you when planning your big day. It was important to us to work with a photographer who has experience with same sex couples, and Crystal and Casey did a great job capturing everything for my wife and I. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. - Emily - Nellysford, VA
