They’re having fun, and they want their wedding photos to show that.” – Joni from I Love You Thirteen. “I’m seeing more of the ’thrown together’ style of detail shots, with the bride’s shoes, perfume and jewellery being the focal points. Before this, it’s been styled with props, intentional colour use and perfectly linedup invitation flat lays. I’m so here for the new, looser style that can often be paired with front flash instead of soft lighting.” – Rachel from Rachel Ovenden Photography. www.reportage-studios.com “Couples spend a long time designing their day; why spoil it by editing? I want to keep it as real as possible.” – Janina from Reportage Studios.
