Here are some popular trends for 2023:
1. Drone photography and videography!
Drone photography has become a popular way to document weddings. This technology has taken off in recent years, and there are many reasons for this. First, drone photography is a low-cost and easy way to capture aerial footage. Second, drone photography allows for a more seamless and natural flow of the wedding day. You’ll want to be sure to hire a Videographer who is experienced in drone photography and can handle all the post-production process. This is where they earn their money! So make sure you find one that fits you and your partner soon before they are all booked up!
2. No More Traditional Wedding Cakes!
Turn your hearing aid down Grandma! This one is gunna sting.
Wedding cakes have become an old tradition. Some couples believe it brings good luck to their marriage. Whether it’s a simple two-layer cake or a three-tiered monstrosity, the details matter. But let’s be honest they are expensive and it’s not a highlight of your night! The photo of your wedding cake doesn’t even make it into 90% of wedding albums. We’ve designed hundreds of wedding albums and only a few have featured a cake.
But this year personalized individual cakes will become more popular as a way to show your guests that you and your partner are unique and that your wedding is personal to you. This year you’ll find more and more couples adding a small cake to each table that their guests can enjoy without having to get up and wait for the cake to be cut. Customize each one to the guests you have seated at that table, or have them all the same! It’s really up to your imagination!

Wedding dresses and suits are looking to take the form of a something a little more daring, these colors are sure to stand out. From jewel tones to bright oranges, these shades will make your wedding look amazing and add a sense of elegance.
5. No More boring Photos
Couples are opting for candid, natural shots verses the Instagram, over stylized photos. Couples are asking for more unique and fun photos that reflect their personalities of not only them but their party. We often see couples skip right over the traditional posed or stylized photos and going straight for the ones where everyone is in a sweaty pile of shirtless bodies unorganized group on the dance floor.
