2022 Trends: weddings#1: Weekday weddings With a record number of weddings happening in 2022, rather than choosing to push wedding dates further out, couples are opting for a weekday wedding since Saturdays are already booked out for the foreseeable future. One of the biggest advantages of a weekday wedding is the huge savings in price. Many venues and vendors will offer a discounted rate on weekdays which might find yourself saving all kinds of money all the while still being able to lock in your dream venue of choice at a reasonable rate. Getting married on a Thursday or Friday could also continue the party over into a long weekend #2: Laid back luxury With the increased popularity of outdoor ceremonies and receptions, couples are taking a more casual approach to their wedding day catering with food trucks. Aside from amazing food options like tacos, sliders and laid back ambience, having a wedding food truck can offer your guests a unique culinary experience. This also allows your guests to mingle with others while in line. #3: Pops of color Color, color, color! After a year and a half that was quite somber, when compared to the white and soft neutral palettes wedding couples are feeling more bright and bold color tones from standout centerpieces, linens and dresses #4. Florals From DIY flowers to custom floral arrangements you’ll see more attention-grabbing floral moments with many couples wanting a show-stopping floral arch or large stairwell installation. While Pantone announced Very Peri as their color of the year for 2022, expect to see lots of bright pinks, purples, reds, and oranges throughout the year! #5: Technology
Technology has been the glue that held a lot of things together throughout 2020 including couples leaning on wedding websites and text messages to communicate the numerous changes in their plans to their guests. Even though technology has been a lifesaver, soon-to-be-married couples still want their guests to put their phones away. In fact, 40 percent of couples tying the knot still ask guests to completely disconnect while bearing witness (OSMANSKI, 2022). OSMANSKI, S. (2022, February 11) Newsweek https://www.newsweek.com/tying-knot-these-are-20-most-popular-wedding-trends-2022 Shooting a maternity session is a challenging yet rewarding type of shoot. As your belly gets bigger and grows so does the excitement that you feel as your due date comes closer. Depending on the style of shoot whether nude, implied or an outfit that really accentuates your body and bump like the two you see before you, 70% of it is trust and communication. A woman ready to give birth is one of the most beautiful things we are able to witness in our lifetime and being chosen to capture that is a very humbling experience. While not all pregnancies are the same, generally in most cases the 7th or 8th month of pregnancy, between 30-36 weeks is the optimal time for having your photo session taken.
Always remember to relax, love your body and remember why you are having photos taken in the first place. It is to capture the joy and essence of being pregnant and be able to look back on these first incredible images while being able to share one day with your child. Looking at the amazing images being captured as the shoot goes on will allow you to open up more, trust and engage more in the session while becoming less conscious of your body. Maternity shooting is about trust and capturing the very beauty and essence of a woman. |
