Documentary Style

This photojournalistic wedding photography reflects the philosophy of Black Iris Photography, which aims to capture the authentic and spontaneous moments that will depict the genuine story of the couple’s love. This photography style creates a more natural, personal, and narrative-driven collection of wedding memories. Instead of stiff poses and forced smiles, our photographers seamlessly blend into the background, snapping the natural interactions, raw emotions, and spontaneous fun as they unfold.

Motion Blur

This creative wedding photography style incorporates motion blur into wedding photos, adding movement and dynamism and making your images more vibrant and energetic, fitting for a day of excitement and whirl of events! This artistic approach enhances the storytelling aspect of wedding photography, offering a unique perspective that portrays the flow and emotion of the event in a visually compelling way.

Drone Photography

Take your wedding photos to new heights with drone photography! This creative approach adds a whole new perspective of your big day by using camera-equipped drones to take stunning aerial photos and wide-angle panoramas of your wedding venue and to capture the full beauty of the ceremony from up above. This is perfect for outdoor wedding ceremonies and venues, highlighting scenic landscapes with its capability to shoot dynamic shots which allows for creative compositions that showcase both the environment and the wedding moments. It's the best way to capture memorable moments from a bird's-eye view, ensuring your wedding memories are as expansive and spectacular as the love you share.

Minimalism and Simplicity

Minimalist wedding photography style focuses on simplicity, clarity, and elegance. It embraces clean lines, uncluttered compositions, and a focus on what truly matters: the love, the moments, and the emotions. This style often uses neutral backgrounds, natural light, and minimalistic settings to highlight the couple and their emotions without distractions. Minimalism in wedding photography ensures that every photograph resonates with quiet beauty and emotional depth, reflecting the purity of love and commitment on your special day.

Direct Flash Photography

Direct flash photography is a creative approach that adds instant vibrancy and clarity to your wedding images. Photographers use a direct blast of light to illuminate scenes with crisp detail and captivating contrast. This style emphasizes every emotion and detail, from heartfelt interactions to exuberant celebrations, making each moment shine brightly. Direct flash adds dramatic excitement to your wedding album and captures remarkable moments in brilliant clarity.

Vintage and Film-Inspired Photography

Vintage and film-inspired photography immerses your wedding day in a nostalgic world of timeless elegance. This style conjures bygone ages of romance and nostalgia with soft hues, gentle textures, and traditional framing. It captures the essence of your love story with cinematic flair, evoking old Hollywood grandeur or rustic countryside charm.

Inclusive and Diverse Representation

Inclusive and diverse representation in wedding photography celebrates the unique love stories and identities of every couple.  It's about ensuring that every aspect of your special day reflects the rich tapestry of humanity – from cultural traditions and personal styles to diverse backgrounds and expressions of love. At Black Iris Photography, our South Asian background gives us a unique perspective on cultural events and traditions, such as desi weddings. We celebrate love in all its forms, with photographs that speak to the heart of who you are and the love you share.

At Black Iris Photography, we’re always excited to embrace new trends and bring our creative vision to your special day. Whether you’re planning a lavish celebration or an intimate gathering, we’re here to capture the magic of your love story.
