When it comes to your wedding photoshoot your goal is to end up with a series of stunning portraits that represent who you are as a couple. With so many different approaches, from choosing a certain photographer, to picking your desired location and style, It’s hard to know which direction to take. We’ve collated 5 thematic photography styles for some visual inspiration to help you find your vibe.
Old School Vibe
For a fun and relaxed shoot, one that is packed full of whimsy and nostalgia, head back in time with an old school vibe. Recreate your love story and travel somewhere significant to your relationship. Think of your first date or where you first met, maybe you locked eyes at school or in your neighborhood, think of how you used to feel and recreate that feeling of young love with old school props, energetic poses, vintage props and lots of energy.

Classy Vibe
For couples looking for something that’s a little more editorial, this vibe is the epitome of class. With yourself and your partner dressed in formal wear or wedding attire, source opulent spaces with regal architecture, grand staircases, and dazzling lighting. Looking and feeling beautiful, surrounded by glamour, capture your love in imagery resonant to the glossy pages of magazines to admire on your walls forever.

City Lifestyle Vibe
For energetic and fun shots, make time stop by capturing your love in the midst of the hustle and bustle of city life. Stay local or head overseas, either way use a slow shutter speed during poses to give a sense of time standing still. Choose to dress casually, or stand out in formal wear - this vibe is all about energy and fun so don’t be afraid to be playful and experiment.
