Welcome to another blog in our exclusive DWP Privé Partner series where we bring you up close and personal with our esteemed partners for our limited-edition event taking place in Sri Lanka at Cinnamon Life at City of Dreams, Colombo from April 9th-11th 2025.
Today we want to introduce you to our Photography Partner for DWP Privé 2025 – Ruwi & Dinesh Photography. Ruwi & Dinesh are not only one of the most renowned photographer duo in Sri Lanka, but also have wide exposure in capturing beautiful moments of a couple’s big day in different parts of the world, and are also valued members of the DWP community, having attended a lot of the past editions of the DWP Congress.
Wedding photography forms a very important and integral part of a wedding, as these captured moments are what act as timeless memories that the couple can look back and reflect upon even years after the big day. Given their expertise in the wedding photography industry, we reached out to Ruwi & Dinesh ahead of DWP Privé and asked them to share their expertise on what they feel would be the trends ruling wedding photography this year. So without any further ado let’s get right into it!
Top 5 Destination Wedding Trends Predicted For 2025
Hometown weddings
Many couples choose intimate weddings in their hometowns rather than big-city weddings. This culminates a feeling of belongingness and memories that the couple mutually shares with their hometown or a particular destination.
Digital Images and Instagram Aspect Ratios
More and more couples want their images in portrait orientation rather than traditional landscape orientation. Photographs now are primarily focused on social media, especially Instagram, as they want to post beautiful moments of their wedding online.
Film Photography
We see a spike in demand for film photography over digital cameras. Couples are looking for a retro, vintage feel with film photography. This brings together the classic feel which is weaved into a modern wedding, beautifully capturing and then showcasing the story of the couple through aesthetic visuals.
Welcome Parties and Farewell Events
Today destination weddings are all about multi-day functions and providing an unforgettable experience for their guests. Therefore wedding photography today is not just confined to the main day but also the pre wedding festivities. For instance, most destination weddings couples arrange unique welcome parties for their guests and loved ones. These could include sightseeing or yacht parties.
Black & White Photography
Just as film photography, black and white photography is in high demand. Everyone loves a pop of colour, but the charm of monochromatic photos is very less likely to fade away. Certain emotions are best captured in black & white as they enhance the essence of the moment.
Ruwi & Dinesh have a lot more experience and knowledge to share and we can’t wait for you to witness their magic on-site in Colombo at the upcoming edition of DWP Privé. If you have not yet registered for the event and would not want to face major FOMO, then register today on the official event website!
