Top Wedding Photography Trends for 2025 (GTA Edition)

By Viahdi Photography

As we step into the heart of 2025, wedding photography continues to evolve — blending timeless tradition with bold, artistic expression. In the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), where diverse cultures, unique venues, and creative couples meet, the demand for fresh yet meaningful visuals is stronger than ever.

At Viahdi Photography, we’ve seen first-hand how couples are leaning into personal storytelling more than posed perfection. Here are the top wedding photography trends we’re capturing across the GTA this year:

1. Vintage Edits Are Making a Romantic Comeback

Think soft film tones, faded highlights, and warm nostalgic hues. Inspired by classic Kodak film or early 2000s fashion editorials, couples are gravitating toward edits that feel timeless and emotional.Whether it’s a beach wedding in Scarborough or an intimate backyard ceremony in Mississauga, these tones add poetic depth to every image.

2. Intentional Blur: Imperfection is the New Art

Motion blur, soft focus, and slight grain are no longer mistakes — they’re part of the magic. This trend embraces movement and energy, whether it’s a quick glance between the couple or the blur of a wild dance floor moment.It’s a cinematic way to show how a moment felt, not just how it looked.

3. Flash Photography is Back (With a Twist)

On-camera flash is being reimagined — not just for receptions but also for portraits. This editorial, fashion-inspired look adds boldness and spontaneity, especially during night shoots or indoor venues like Liberty Grand or Château Le Jardin.Flash photography adds a confident edge, especially when paired with minimal edits and strong composition.

4. Film-Style Storytelling Is on the Rise

Even without shooting on actual film, many GTA photographers (ourselves included) are using film LUTs, subtle grain, and carefully chosen lighting to mimic that classic 35mm look.It’s perfect for couples who want their photos to feel real, raw, and artistically layered — not overly retouched or glossy.

5. Documentary & Candid-First Approach

More couples are asking us to "just let things happen" — and we love it. From small emotional exchanges during the Anand Karaj to spontaneous baraat dancing, documentary-style photography captures real moments as they unfold.This approach feels natural, stress-free, and tells an honest story from start to finish.
