I wanted to share a story that taps into a growing shift in wedding photography, one that’s all about embracing a vintage, emotional aesthetic. With wedding season around the corner, and more couples leaning into less traditional styles, this might resonate with your audience. Today’s couples aren’t waiting for perfect lighting or posed moments. Instead, they’re choosing real, unfiltered memories. Think motion blur, grainy textures, bold flash, and moody frames, all inspired by old-school film and point-and-shoot cameras. It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s deeply personal. This style isn’t about looking perfect, it’s about feeling present. It’s a response to years of overly polished, pastel-toned portraits. These photos tell stories that feel lived-in: a glance between vows, the wild energy of the dance floor, or the quiet just before “I do.”
At the forefront of this movement are Pervez and Nicole Taufiq of P. Taufiq Photography, a husband-wife duo who bring a deeply emotional lens to everything they shoot. Their images capture not just the events of a wedding, but the feelings behind them. For Pervez, every wedding is a reminder of his own love story and their photos reflect that same intimacy and meaning. “Couples today are uninhibited. They want blur, grain, and flash. They want drama. They want intimacy. And they’re not afraid to experiment,” says Pervez. This has led the team to embrace vintage photography techniques, film-inspired edits, and editorial portraiture that blends fashion with feeling.
