Welcome to The Ring Tales Blog: Your Wedding Photography Guide
Planning a wedding is a whirlwind of excitement and decisions, and capturing those special moments is a big part of it. At The Ring Tales, we understand that wedding photography is more than just taking pictures. It’s about preserving the beauty and joy of your special day. That’s why we’ve created this blog – to help you navigate the world of wedding photography, from choosing the perfect decorations to finding the right photographer.
Decorations: More Than Just Pretty
Wedding decorations are more than just pretty details, they set the scene for the entire event and provide a backdrop for the photographs that will be cherished for years. Around the world and various parts of India, wedding decor varies widely. For instance, Indian weddings often feature vibrant colors, intricate floral arrangements, and ornate mandaps, creating a visual feast. In contrast, Western weddings may lean towards elegant simplicity with white flowers, soft lighting, and subtle color schemes.
Regardless of the cultural style, it’s essential to ensure that the decorations complement the overall theme and atmosphere of the wedding. This enhances the visual appeal of the photos. Couples should communicate with both their decorators and photographers to ensure the decor aligns with their vision and will look stunning in the photos.

Global Wedding Trends
Wedding photography trends evolve, reflecting broader changes in society and culture. Recently, there has been a noticeable shift towards more natural, candid photography that captures spontaneous moments rather than traditional posed shots. This style, often referred to as photojournalistic or documentary wedding photography, aims to tell a story through images, capturing emotions and the essence of the day as it unfolds.
Another trend gaining popularity worldwide is the inclusion of drone photography. Drones provide breathtaking aerial views, offering a unique perspective on wedding venues and large gatherings. This technology allows photographers to capture stunning landscape shots, group photos from above, and even create cinematic video footage.
In addition, some couples are opting for unplugged weddings, where guests are encouraged to be present in the moment rather than taking photos with their phones. This not only results in more professional-looking photos but also ensures that the photographer can capture images without any interruptions from flashing cameras or mobile phones.
TIP: Your wedding photography guide suggests you to put a “No Phone Banner” at the wedding, only if possible. Ask your guests to respect your privacy decision.
