Top Wedding Trends of 2022
If you’re currently planning your wedding and looking for some of the top trends, here are some of the most common enquiries I’ve received recently:
Micro Weddings and Elopements: Coming out of the pandemic, smaller weddings have become more popular. Couples are opting for more intimate settings, such as backyard or outdoor weddings with a limited guest list. As a videographer, it allows me to focus on capturing the emotional intimacy of these smaller events.
Drone Footage: The use of drones in wedding videography has become more popular in recent years, as they allow for stunning aerial footage of the ceremony and reception.
Cinematic Storytelling: Couples are increasingly looking for wedding videos that tell a story, rather than just capturing the events of the day. Cinematic isn’t new, but the requests for experienced and creative wedding videographers have gone up.
Virtual and Live Streaming: As a result of the pandemic, virtual weddings and live streaming have become more common. This provides an opportunity for couples to look at other services such as online delivery of wedding videos or offering live streaming services.
Short-form Videos: Short-form videos, such as reels (for example on Instagram) or "sneak peeks" of the wedding day, have become increasingly popular as couples look for ways to share their wedding with friends and family on social media, quickly.
Authentic Moments: Couples want their wedding videos to capture the real, candid moments of the day, rather than just posed shots.
