The styles have changed so much that I would not pretend to be up with current trends having been out of it for 12 years now. In fact my daughter who is getting married this winter, is after a totally different style to what I was asked to shoot.

Matt, the style right now seems high key, sepia toned (like my shot above). NOT my desired toning, but they got what they wanted. They flat REFUSED B&W (though I snuck in 3 free), and demanded one composite shot (I may post it later). I just do what is asked, but offer MY version of events in the bargain - if they don't want them, they just stay in my portfolio - no harm, no foul.
Out of all the scripted shots the bride planned with me meticulously over 5 days (including location scouting etc), only 8 shots held to that script. The weather ruined her entire plan, but she could not be happier with the end result.
