Head over to Junebug Weddings and check out the image gallery for Real Weddings. Whether they’re black and white, or in vibrant, vivid color; the photos you’ll find there are clean and crisp. It’s apparent that all images within a single wedding shoot have a continuous theme throughout – even the shots of the food stay within the overall visual motif.

Snippet & Ink

Snippet & Ink is great because it shares the stories behind real people’s weddings. More than just looking at photos of random strangers, readers can really get into the details of each person’s wedding experience. Paired with the back-stories, the images invite viewers to genuinely feel like they were present at the wedding.

Green Wedding Shoes

Green Wedding Shoes is all about DIY (do it yourself), which makes for some really innovative wedding photos. These are definitely not your mother’s nuptial affairs.  Everyone wants to feel like her or his wedding was different and unique in some way, and the photos here really seem to give happy couples that extra something that they’re looking for.

Grey Likes Weddings

From color, to texture, to season, Grey Likes Weddings is a great resource when finding wedding photography inspiration. Some shots are delicate and soft, while others are fiery and bold. Some look like modern day fairy tales, while others look like a low-key love party. From royalty to hipsters, there’s really something for everyone among these wedding photos.

Wedding planning can be tedious – especially if you’re your own wedding planner – and getting married is [hopefully] a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It’s important to document that time in a way that suits you and your partner’s taste and personality. Classic or contemporary, these great wedding photography resources prove that wedding parties can have the best of both worlds.
