NEWS

Happening this Week

• Freshly Rebranded. Leading wedding photographers Joel and Justyna announce a bold and fresh rebrand and website a few days ago. Check it out here. 

• The New Leica Q you might actually love.  We all need a ‘I’m not working camera’ and this week Leica announced a new version of the popular Q series camera. This time with a very nice fixed 43mm f/2 lens. Something a little different that seems to just work. See a full review here.

• iPhone 16 pro vs Canon R5. Can you tell the difference between these two images? Spoiler, it’s close.

• A wedding photographers worst nightmare. This photographer was super sick, like proper sick the night before a big wedding this week. And they had to make a call. What would you really do in this situation?

• Simple Directing. This photographer shows in this reel exactly how you can get the pose you want from your couple/subject without over directing and confusing them. Simple right.

• Will we all wear glasses? This week Meta announced Orion. Their new augmented reality smart glasses that Mark Zuckerberg is betting will be the next big tech medium after the smartphone. If you missed it, check it out here. 

• Backup Dreams on Kickstarter. This portable NAS/hard drive will have 16TB of storage and bunch of cool features that would make this THE PERFECT backup option for wedding photographers on the go.

QUICK TIP

🥀 The Surprise Aisle Dip

Surprise, surprise.
We hear it’s been catching a few of us out this wedding season. Thinking we nailed the shot of the happy moment coming down the aisle, turning our backs (so we don’t trip over backwards), ONLY to see in the corner of our eye the couple going for a big swooping dip kiss in the aisle. Dang, you missed it.

You can love it or hate it. But it’s back, it’s trending and happening more and more at a wedding near you! So this is your official reminder to stay on guard while walking back down the aisle and make sure you get that shot.

PS. Most couples are also doing this terribly. Facing the wrong way etc. Here’s exactly how they can practice and do it well.
