Wedding Trends in 2025

Be Inspired, Not Influenced

I wanted to write this blog post because over the last year, I’ve had so many conversations with couples who spend just as much time talking about what they don’t want, as what they do want. A lot of that comes from the pressure of what they’re seeing online, or worse, ideas being pushed onto them by friends or family.

If this is resonating with you, chances are you're not planning a cookie-cutter wedding, and that's a good thing. You're not looking to recreate someone else’s day. You’re creating your own. The irony of this post isn’t lost on me, here I am advising you not to listen to those online telling you what you should be doing. All I aim to achieve is to help you to think about what’s important to you.

Authenticity Isn’t a Trend

Trends rarely leave room for individuality, and that’s what matters most to me. Sure, a trending photo might look great on someone else’s Instagram feed. But does it really reflect you?

Trends can’t capture your quirks, your energy, your relationship. Your wedding is a celebration of you, your connection, your people, and everything that makes your relationship yours. Planning becomes more fun and way less stressful when you're not trying to measure up to what someone else says you “should” do.

Real Moments Are Timeless

No two weddings I shoot are the same. Every couple brings their own humour, chaos, warmth, and energy. That’s the stuff I want to capture, real love, not a recreated moment from someone else's Pinterest board.

When you ditch trends and lean into who you are, you make room for moments that feel alive, ones that will still mean something in 20 years' time.

Styled Shoots Are Cool, But They’re Not Your Wedding

There’s nothing wrong with beautiful detail shots or cinematic portraits, but if you’re creating a wedding that’s full of social media checklists of “must-have” images, it will quickly move into something that is no longer yours.

Yes, I love getting creative with couples, but only when it reflects them. The best photos are never forced. They’re felt. Don’t get me wrong, if you have seen a photo you love and want to recreate, I am up for the challenge but let’s make it yours and make it real!

Do It For You, Not The Gram

You don’t want to look back on your wedding photos and feel like they aged poorly because you followed a fad. Don’t chase trends, Chase genuine moments.

When it’s all said and done, it’s not the styled flat lays or symmetrical poses you’ll care about most. It’s the tears during the speeches, the full-body laughs, the arms-in-the-air dance moves that define the day.

Be Inspired, Not Influenced!

Yes, social media has its uses. I’ve seen amazing ideas come from TikTok or Instagram. But the key is to take inspiration and make it yours. Not because it's trending, but because it means something to you.

When you use social media to get inspired rather than influenced, you’ll end up with a day that actually feels like you.

Planning A Wedding Is Hard, You’ve Got This

You’ll get all kinds of advice, whether you ask for it or not. Some of it will be helpful, some not so much. The most important question to ask yourselves is: Does this feel like us?

If the answer’s no, move on. Find your people. Trust your gut.

Let’s Do Things Your Way

When the day arrives, I’m not going to push you into doing anything you don’t feel comfortable with. And I won’t be promoting trends just because they’re “in” right now.

Instead, I’ll focus on what matters to you. I’ll be in the thick of it, blending in with your guests, documenting the day as it actually happened, from the big moments to the small, sometimes hilarious ones.
