only the truth

Raw, Candid Photography

We love the anti-austerity aspect of this trending aesthetic, favoring comfort and freedom above uptight strictness of the past.

“It’s like you’re at home, maybe the home of your ancestors, grazing off a huge table,” says Rebecca, who suggests building out this look starting with our Elegant White Palette.

“With all the chaos the pandemic threw everyone into, there’s more interest in being real, even in as precious an arena as wedding photography,” says Rebecca.

‍

“We’re seeing more top photographers move toward a cinéma vérité style, even if that’s what they weren’t typically known for. We're loving shots of couples behind-the-scenes in their ritzy hotel room afterparty.”

‍

“With flowers, we’re seeing more deconstructed arches, this decreased interest in ‘perfect’ and increased celebration of the real and raw.” Start with our Sunset Palette and play.
