Ditching the noise: The Wedding trends we’re leaving behind in 2025
BREAKING FREE FROM WEDDING PRESSURES AND FOCUSSING ON WHAT COUNTS
Weddings are evolving, and so is how they’re documented. We specialise in storytelling wedding photography that captures your day as it happens - without the cliches or outdated expectations.
As we approach the new wedding season, it’s time to leave behind the traditions, pressures, and trends that don’t serve modern couples. Here’s what we’re not taking forward into 2025.
1. Diet Culture & Unrealistic Beauty Standards
Let’s be clear - you do not need to change a single thing about yourself to be ‘wedding-day ready.’ The idea that you should change to ‘be your best self’ is totally outdated. Your wedding isn’t a photoshoot - it’s a celebration of who you are, exactly as you are. You don’t need to be anything more than two people in love.
We’re walking away from outdated pressures and ideals in 2025.
2. Overly Staged & Trend-Driven Photography
We’re not following TikTok trends or viral wedding photo fads into 2025. If a trend doesn’t feel like you, it has no place in your wedding album.
Instead of forcing stiff, overly curated poses, we focus on documenting the energy of your day. The laughter, the messy dance floors, the unfiltered emotions - these are the moments that truly matter. Trends fade, but those wedding day feels? Those will last a lifetime.
3. Weddings That Feel Like Social Media Productions
Your wedding isn’t a content creation day. If you’re making decisions based on ‘doing it for the gram,’ rather than what actually feels right for you, it’s time to reset.
Forget the pressure to perform, make decisions based on what makes you both happy and remember the ultimate goal is to get married! Everything else is just gravy.
4. Rigid Timelines That Kill the Vibe
A wedding day should feel like a celebration, not a military operation. While we love a well-planned day, we’re not about squeezing in a hundred photo ops that leave you no time to breathe.
We prioritise flow over forced moments. If something magical is happening, we’re not cutting it short just to stick to a rigid schedule. We capture your wedding as it happens, without pulling you away from your own party.
5. Weddings That Please Everyone But You
Outdated traditions? Unwanted family input? Over-the-top expectations? Feeling like you have to entertain rather than experience? Not in 2025.
Now more than ever couples are embracing intimate, meaningful wedding experiences that actually feel like them. Whether you’re throwing a non-traditional wedding, skipping the first dance, or eloping and having pizza for your wedding breakfast - do it your way.
6. The Pressure for the “Perfect” Wedding
Spoiler alert… there is no such thing as a ‘perfect’ wedding. Even with the best laid plans, something will inevitably go off-script - but it’s within those unplanned, chaotic moments where the real magic lies. Embrace it. Live it. Feel it.
As documentary wedding photographers we don’t chase perfection. We’re there to tell your story - in all its messy, beautiful, and completely unforgettable glory.
