2025 Wedding Trends: What to Expect in SEQ Weddings This Year
2025 Wedding Trends Through the Lens of a Photographer and Videographer
As we dive into the wedding season of 2025, it's clear that couples are embracing unique, personalized celebrations. If you're planning a wedding in Brisbane, the Gold Coast, or the Scenic Rim in 2025, I can help! Here's the trends I'm predicting I'll capture this year:
1. Short Wedding Party Dresses
Why settle for one dress when you can have two? Short dresses are a key trend for brides in 2025, particularly as a second look for the after-party. These dresses are playful and chic, ideal for a modern city wedding or for brides who are opting for multiple outfits on the day. Whether it’s a super short mini or a 1950s-inspired tea-length dress, this trend allows brides to showcase their personality and make a bold fashion statement.
2. Vibrant Color Palettes
Neutral tones are giving way to bold and vibrant hues. Bright blues, oranges, and jewel tones are dominating 2025 weddings. These colors pop in photos and bring an incredible energy to wedding videos.
3. Tech-Savvy Elements
Drones for cinematic aerial shots and live-streaming for remote guests are must-haves. We’re also seeing interactive digital guest books and AR filters for playful memories.
4. Non-Traditional Timelines
Gone are the days of strict timelines. Couples are creating relaxed schedules to prioritize experiences, like first-look photos at sunrise or group dances before the ceremony.
5. Storytelling Over Posing
Candid, documentary-style photography and videography are trending. Our goal is to weave together moments that tell a story—real smiles, shared glances, and genuine emotions.

6. Cultural Fusions
Couples are blending traditions from diverse backgrounds. Whether it’s a tea ceremony followed by a Western reception or a fusion of cuisines, these elements make for visually rich and meaningful storytelling.
7. Interactive Experiences
Think live painting, build-your-own bouquet stations, and photo booths with instant video playback. Capturing guests’ joy as they immerse themselves in these activities is a highlight for us.
8. After Parties and Multi-Day Events
2025 is the year of extended celebrations. Intimate welcome dinners, day-after brunches, and post-reception parties give us more opportunities to create lasting memories on film.
Closing Thoughts
As wedding photographers and videographers, it’s a privilege to adapt to these trends and help couples preserve their special day in a way that reflects their unique style. What trends are you excited about for your wedding? Let us know in the comments!
