2025 Wedding Trends
Predicted Wedding Trends for 2025: A Look Ahead with Neil Senior Wedding Photography
As the year draws to a close, I find myself reflecting on the incredible weddings I’ve been fortunate to capture across Norfolk, Suffolk, and Cambridge in 2024. Each wedding has been unique, filled with love, joy, and genuine moments that make my work as a natural, documentary-style photographer so rewarding. But now, it’s time to look ahead to 2025!
Here are my predicted wedding trends for the upcoming year – ideas I’m genuinely excited about and confident will help you create an unforgettable celebration.
Authentic photography
Gone are the days of overly staged, filtered wedding photos. 2025 is all about authenticity and embracing the natural beauty of your day. My photography style is rooted in capturing real emotions and candid moments, and I’m thrilled to see this trend gaining momentum. Couples are leaning into their true selves, letting their personalities shine through in every detail, from the décor to the vows. Whether it’s a windswept beach wedding in Norfolk or a rustic barn celebration in Suffolk, I’ll be there to capture the honest and heartfelt moments that tell your story.

Wedding Content Creators
A trend I’ve seen grow in 2024 is the rise of wedding content creators, and I predict this will be even bigger in 2025. These professionals work alongside your photographer to create Instagram-worthy behind-the-scenes footage, TikTok snippets, and even live updates of your big day. It’s a great way to share those special moments with guests who couldn’t attend and gives you a fun, modern twist to relive your day from a different perspective. I’m happy to partner with Candid Content Co to offer my clients an exclusive wedding content package offer! Click here to take a look.
Live Wedding Illustrators
This is such a beautiful touch for your wedding! Imagine an artist quietly working in the background, sketching key moments from your day – your ceremony, your first dance, or even a bustling reception scene. A live illustrator provides a stunning, bespoke keepsake for you to treasure forever, and it’s always a hit with guests. If you’re planning a Norfolk wedding, I highly recommend Owen Mathers, a talented artist who specialises in this. Click here to take a look at his work.
SUSTAINABLE WEDDING STATIONARY
As someone who prioritises eco-friendly practices in my photography business, I’m delighted to see couples making more sustainable choices for their weddings. Recycled paper invitations, plantable save-the-dates, and even digital RSVPs are set to become staples in 2025. Some of my favourite suppliers in East Anglia create elegant, eco-friendly wedding stationery – check them out on my suppliers directory here.
WEDDING VIDEOS
Photos are timeless, but videos are a fantastic way to relive your day through sound, motion, and raw emotion. In 2025, I predict more couples will invest in videography to complement their photography. Documentary-style wedding videos pair beautifully with my natural approach, ensuring you have a cohesive visual story of your day. Take a look at a few of my industry friends who provide amazing videography here.

Here’s to an incredible year ahead!
