Breaking the Rules: A fresh Approach to Alternative Wedding Photography



Weddings are no longer a one-size-fits-all celebration. More couples are breaking away from tradition to craft weddings that truly reflect who they are—quirky, unconventional, and unapologetically unique. For photographers like me, this shift towards alternative weddings is exciting because it opens up endless creative opportunities to tell love stories in bold, authentic, and rule-breaking ways.


As we head into 2025 and 2026, I’m embracing this movement with a fresh approach to wedding photography—one designed for the dreamers, rebels, and romantics who are redefining what a wedding can be.





Alternative Weddings: Love Without Limits


What is an alternative wedding? It’s whatever you want it to be. It’s a gothic ceremony in a candlelit castle, a festival-themed celebration with food trucks and glitter, or a sun-drenched elopement in the middle of nowhere. It’s about replacing stiff traditions with elements that feel meaningful, personal, and joyful.


Gone are the days when couples felt obligated to follow a strict formula. Instead, they’re creating weddings with their own flair, whether that means wearing black wedding dresses, writing their own unconventional vows, or walking down the aisle to their favorite punk rock anthem.


If you’re planning an alternative wedding, you already know it’s about more than breaking rules—it’s about telling your story. And that’s exactly where alternative wedding photography comes in.


A New Approach to Wedding Photography


Traditional wedding photography often revolves around capturing posed portraits and orchestrated moments. While there’s a time and place for classic shots, alternative wedding photography is about so much more.


For me, it’s about capturing the real magic: the laughter during your neon-lit reception, the quiet moments when you exchange vows surrounded by nature, or the wild energy of your guests dancing under the stars. It’s about being fully immersed in the vibe of your day and creating images that feel as unique as your love story.


Here’s how I break the rules to create something unforgettable:

1. Embracing Unconventional Settings: Whether it’s an abandoned warehouse, an art gallery, or a windswept beach, I thrive in creative and unexpected spaces that reflect your personality.

2. Authenticity Over Perfection: The best photos happen in the in-between moments—your stolen glances, the messy cake-cutting, or your dog joining in on the ceremony. These raw, real emotions make for the most powerful images.

3. Experimental Techniques: Think dreamy double exposures, bold angles, and dramatic lighting that give your photos an artistic edge. No cookie-cutter shots here!





Your Story, Your Way


Every couple is different, and your wedding photos should be, too. Whether your day is dark and moody or colorful and chaotic, my goal is to capture the spirit of your celebration in a way that feels completely you.


Planning your wedding for 2025 or 2026? Let’s work together to create something truly extraordinary. My calendar is open, and I’m ready to bring your vision to life with alternative wedding photography that breaks the rules, celebrates your individuality, and captures the magic of your day.
