One of the hottest trends we've seen in weddings over the last few years has been incorporating mirrors like this one, the bride DIYed into the wedding decor, so why not include it in the wedding photos!? Mirrors symbolize introspection, duality, and the idea of "seeing" one's future together, making them perfect for weddings. They've surged in popularity since around 2020, allowing us to use them to create optical illusions, frame hidden details, or add a vintage fairy-tale vibe to a modern celebration. In this image, the trend is elevated by the mirror, which not only reflects the couple but also captures the surrounding landscape, turning a simple lawn into a portal of enchantment.
What truly sets this photo apart is the creativity poured into its composition. As a wedding photographer, I thrive on pushing boundaries to craft images that feel alive and unique. Here, the mirror isn't just a prop; it's the star, strategically placed to draw the eye inward while the party encircles it. The sunflowers cascading along the frame add a pop of color and texture, tying into the rustic elegance that is the theme. This setup required a little bit of skill, balancing natural light to avoid glare, positioning the group for symmetry, and timing the shot to capture genuine laughter. It's a testament to how I use creativity to transform moments into timeless art. For couples dreaming of photos that evoke emotion, embrace trends like this mirror technique, and ensure your wedding story is told in a way that allows you to relive it every time you look at your photos.
