Softer Hues
Photographers are now experimenting with warmer color palettes with photojournalism which is similar to film photography. This style can be accomplished by shooting film or modifying image colors post-production. Less is better, don’t over use presets you’re looking for a understated color shift with a warmer hue.

Smokin’ Bombs
Smoke bombs are yesterday’s wedding sparklers and add an explosion of bright color to event’s photos. Make sure smoke bombs are a natural extension of your photographic style and fit with the wedding’s theme.

Aerial Imagery
