You’ll find adventure elopements, indoor church weddings, outdoor backyard nuptials, detail shots of rings and invitations, food and reception photos, first looks, same-sex marriages, multi-cultural weddings and more within these portfolios of images. These new photographers, who’ve been in business for five years or less, have signature styles and aesthetic tastes that will continue to inspire creativity among professional photographers.
