Like all great styles: bell bottom pants, jean jackets, head bands, and vests; styles shift and move in and out as time passes for style in photography as well. In most cases, and I would think the most prevalent, weddings have a very obvious feel to them. They are not 100% reliant on the idea that styles will cycle around to give an illusion of something new and different, but these “repeats” in style as a whole are a huge tool. Not only should they be noticed and practiced but also chosen. Someone officially ignites a past trend into “the latest greatest thing”.
Currently in wedding photography the use of vignette has boomed in the past three or so years, and it seems one of the biggest trends for this wedding season is/will be blur vignette. A very simple, idea easy to execute, and a great tool people often forget about.

Observe the difference between the two photographs. This is one of my favorite images! I love the simplistic composition with the more neutral colors, but when you make the slightest changes it makes it even more so about the couple (the buyers of your images).

My little way of thinking as a wedding photographer: take your time, there are plenty of pictures, and keep it simple you can’t fail being so safe.
