DOCUMENTARY STYLE
“ Some trends I ’ ve been seeing are blurred photographs and film . I love incorporating blur photos to showcase motion : For example , your fiancé picking you up and spinning you around or running off into the sunset together . Film photographs also tell a story . I love using my film camera during weddings ; it truly brings out romantic and authentic moments from the day .”

Q A :
Mike Picard Motion Pictures talks trends and how videography impacts your big day .
What are some trends you ’ ve seen this year that you like ? A recent trend in wedding receptions is for the entire bridal party to enter together in groups , with all the groomsmen coming in first followed by all the bridesmaids , creating a more dynamic and unified entrance compared to the traditional paired introductions . By having the whole groomsmen group enter at once , followed by the bridesmaids , it creates a bigger visual impact and builds excitement for the bride and groom ’ s arrival .
“ Most couples are leaning into the documentary approach with more candids and less posing . Couples are also asking for blurry photos . We do these sparingly throughout the wedding because despite loving the vibe , we know this is a passing trend and we don ’ t want our couples to look back and have a gallery full of blur , but we do love using this style to achieve cool light streaks or a sense of motion and fleeting moments or even a little chaos !”

Why should a couple include videography services in their wedding ? It ’ s important to have a videographer for your wedding because we can capture your wedding day to the fullest of our professional ability . With video , you can watch your first dance , listen back to your vows , and relive the fun jokes and stories during the speeches . But most importantly , you can re-watch the entire day from start to finish , just like a movie . Based on many couple testimonials , they admit that the day went by in a blur and they missed out on so much of the details , making it so heartwarming to sit back days , weeks , months later and rewatch their special day .

“ The late night flat lay is going to be the hottest trend for 2025 ! It started last year , and I ’ m personally loving it . Documentary style photos , film and direct flash will be sticking around for a while .”

What different types of videography styles are there for couples to choose from ? There are primarily two video styles in the wedding industry — fast and exciting , and slow and romantic . Fast and exciting is a filming style where their wedding day recap is filled with upbeat exciting moments paired to an equally fitting upbeat song . Slow and romantic videos usually have more slowmotion shots and include a lot of narration from the vows and speeches of the wedding .
