Many photographers have gone from having packed diaries to not even knowing when they will shoot another wedding. For someone who has been running a successful business, it&#8217;s hard to imagine such a black swan period. And yet for many wedding professionals, COVID-19 has been devastating. Since I&#8217;m a professional wedding photographer with a past &#8220;crisis-management&#8221; experience, I thought I should share my personal opinion about the current situation and try to give a projection for the future of the industry.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"_qgfvdxfylagumfwcakcwvxquinsmpztuuzyo\" class=\"brz-section brz-css-zxlvmc\">\n<div class=\"brz-section__content brz-section--boxed brz-css-ijfioo brz-css-eyvine\" data-brz-custom-id=\"ctfmktasmsxotcyvlzkiuvqzwgnktafgqwug\">\n<div class=\"brz-bg\">\n<div class=\"brz-bg-color\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"brz-container brz-css-a0f80s\">\n<div id=\"\" class=\"brz-css-sf2c69 brz-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"brz-rich-text brz-rich-text__custom brz-css-3b2o5f\" data-brz-custom-id=\"qagqqerlhukswuydyxslgoecbexqcsrtemvi\">\n<div data-brz-translate-text=\"1\">\n<p class=\"brz-tp-heading3 brz-css-c3MW2\"><span class=\"brz-cp-color7\">What Happened to Traditional Weddings?<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"\" class=\"brz-css-sf2c69 brz-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"brz-rich-text brz-rich-text__custom brz-css-3b2o5f\" data-brz-custom-id=\"ukuvslqruwiuyxetbayzysdsegytizapnsvw\">\n<div data-brz-translate-text=\"1\">\n<p class=\"brz-tp-paragraph brz-css-h2ahL\">Weddings have always been some of the most important celebrations in life. They are associated with large family gatherings that are all about happiness and joy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"brz-tp-paragraph brz-css-x7B7V\">It almost went without saying that a wedding is a safe and friendly environment where nothing wrong ever happens. At least, until coronavirus. Nowadays, nobody<\/p>\n<p class=\"brz-tp-paragraph brz-css-y5I8e\">can be sure that any wedding is 100% safe if it involves guests. There is a whole new protocol for attending weddings, congratulating and photographing<\/p>\n<p class=\"brz-tp-paragraph brz-css-iQyCq\">weddings. From wearing masks and disinfecting spaces and surfaces to standing at a safe distance, there is a huge list of rules (that keep changing) we need<\/p>\n<p class=\"brz-tp-paragraph brz-css-raYRC\">to be aware of.<\/p>\n<p class=\"brz-tp-paragraph brz-css-uTNH4\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"brz-tp-paragraph brz-css-dcBq3\">But even with all the precautions and safety measures taken, we can never be as relaxed as we used to be. We are forced to think twice before touching<\/p>\n<p class=\"brz-tp-paragraph brz-css-xFYRk\">something and hugging each other, or otherwise calculate the chances of getting sick at every given situation. This is what puts brakes on the vast majority of<\/p>\n<p class=\"brz-tp-paragraph brz-css-kF17B\">the weddings, except, perhaps, elopements that involve a very limited group of guests, or no guests at all.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"_njlmgskujlmgkvtdjpbkbmumruhoyfibuzvf\" class=\"brz-section brz-css-zxlvmc\">\n<div class=\"brz-section__content brz-section--boxed brz-css-ijfioo brz-css-l04f1p\" data-brz-custom-id=\"vzpbpwgxvtftfbulfpejhofelpaunucisnww\">\n<div class=\"brz-bg\">\n<div class=\"brz-bg-color\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"brz-container brz-css-a0f80s\">\n<div id=\"\" class=\"brz-css-sf2c69 brz-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"brz-rich-text brz-rich-text__custom brz-css-3b2o5f\" data-brz-custom-id=\"muroemeruolsvmdmdrqpbhiusayveqqipyqu\">\n<div data-brz-translate-text=\"1\">\n<p class=\"brz-tp-heading3 brz-css-rbWa9\"><span class=\"brz-cp-color7\">Many Wedding Photographers are in &#8220;Survival Mode&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"\" class=\"brz-css-sf2c69 brz-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"brz-rich-text brz-rich-text__custom brz-css-3b2o5f\" data-brz-custom-id=\"uxiyvmbhljfynvgaflmwhadkdflzwtjiabvy\">\n<div data-brz-translate-text=\"1\">\n<p class=\"brz-tp-paragraph brz-css-hEqFC\">With almost only a handful of photoshoots scheduled and low incomes, most wedding photographers are currently operating on survival mode. While we have pandemic restrictions such as gathering bans, quarantines, and physical distancing, we can\u2019t earn money from big weddings. Photographers who have initially been focusing on smaller outdoor weddings could be the only group to be financially safe during the crisis. The main problem for the whole wedding industry in general and wedding photographers in particular is that couples were forced to slash their wedding budgets. It often means they can only spend a tiny fraction of the budget<\/p>\n<p class=\"brz-tp-paragraph brz-css-qWiMI\">on photography when they are hosting a small wedding instead of a big one. And for many of us, it is not enough to survive because financially speaking, 30<\/p>\n<p class=\"brz-tp-paragraph brz-css-zCNBL\">elopements per year are not equal to 30 big weddings.&nbsp;You can see the math here.<\/p>\n<p class=\"brz-tp-paragraph brz-css-mX69T\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"brz-tp-paragraph brz-css-iuaqc\">Another problem is increasing competition from studios that are in urgent need to have a positive cash flow, which means that there is an increased bidding war for<\/p>\n<p class=\"brz-tp-paragraph brz-css-a8px8\">even smaller assignments. Even before the crisis a lot of photographers charged a relatively low fee for their work and so during the pandemic the prices can<\/p>\n<p class=\"brz-tp-paragraph brz-css-ygcrP\">go down even further. All this will create an unsustainable business environment for many wedding professionals which will force them two either quit their<\/p>\n<p class=\"brz-tp-paragraph brz-css-rsvai\">current line of work, find a second job or juggle multiple low-cost assignments.  Even the most successful photographers have to be \u201ccreative\u201d engaging with their<\/p>\n<p class=\"brz-tp-paragraph brz-css-l3ta0\">previous clients, followers by creating special discounts, deals and packages.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"_ljwmqsslufahsfjckoziufdvxhewpywimvoy\" class=\"brz-section brz-css-zxlvmc\">\n<div class=\"brz-section__content brz-section--boxed brz-css-ijfioo brz-css-3ajrh7\" data-brz-custom-id=\"nvzwsinasfjgvwdpgfntqktmnutbpjjdijat\">\n<div class=\"brz-bg\">\n<div class=\"brz-bg-color\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"brz-container brz-css-a0f80s\">\n<div id=\"\" class=\"brz-css-sf2c69 brz-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"brz-rich-text brz-rich-text__custom brz-css-3b2o5f\" data-brz-custom-id=\"vjurkkbhiesfltapdhtnbmankvihdsjhsuwv\">\n<div data-brz-translate-text=\"1\">\n<p class=\"brz-tp-heading3 brz-css-zkIDe\"><span class=\"brz-cp-color7\">A Dream Job or Not?<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"\" class=\"brz-css-sf2c69 brz-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"brz-rich-text brz-rich-text__custom brz-css-3b2o5f\" data-brz-custom-id=\"yklqmdtazouvppqyxacgnhpvikkzjigqpqae\">\n<div data-brz-translate-text=\"1\">\n<p class=\"brz-tp-paragraph brz-css-uCUbT\">Wedding photography used to be a considered as a \u201cdream job\u201d. Years before COVID-19, social media tools have helped to create an idyllic image of a fulfilling lifestyle through eye catching images and personal stories. Shiny, colorful and utterly excessive in luxury and glamour, weddings were perceived as a generator of positive energy and meaningful goals in life.<\/p>\n<p class=\"brz-tp-paragraph brz-css-yTnsR\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"brz-tp-paragraph brz-css-mAvDk\">Due to the uncertainty and complexity of the economic and political environment in recent years, the wedding industry seemed like a paradise getaway. Of course, there always was a lot of hard work behind it, but nevertheless, tens of thousands of photographers have jumped on the bandwagon and started working in the wedding industry.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"_ndaxzwoajcacvjvubmlqyeitbvxgwuymftga\" class=\"brz-section brz-css-zxlvmc\">\n<div class=\"brz-section__content brz-section--boxed brz-css-ijfioo brz-css-12mjjhs\" data-brz-custom-id=\"czdatrnhnerkntqwndqhszpcwkdtloagbrhd\">\n<div class=\"brz-bg\">\n<div class=\"brz-bg-color\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"brz-container brz-css-a0f80s\">\n<div id=\"\" class=\"brz-css-sf2c69 brz-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"brz-rich-text brz-rich-text__custom brz-css-3b2o5f\" data-brz-custom-id=\"xocqenxcyoxniusiviydzgqtubcjioybhion\">\n<div data-brz-translate-text=\"1\">\n<p class=\"brz-tp-heading3 brz-css-cHptN\"><span class=\"brz-cp-color7\">The Future of WeddingPhotography After COVID-19<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"\" class=\"brz-css-sf2c69 brz-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"brz-rich-text brz-rich-text__custom brz-css-3b2o5f\" data-brz-custom-id=\"ivwubofdaslbmjyuipbwfjmrecwakvxtuwrf\">\n<div data-brz-translate-text=\"1\">\n<p class=\"brz-tp-paragraph brz-css-rpCa9\">So, what happens next? Will the wedding industry recover? Will we get back to normal-sized weddings? Are people going to be able to celebrate without being<\/p>\n<p class=\"brz-tp-paragraph brz-css-d5Jka\">scared of getting sick while just being around other people on the dance floor? And if so, when will this happen? Can this happen next year or will it take a<\/p>\n<p class=\"brz-tp-paragraph brz-css-fNZxt\">number of years to recuperate? And what should wedding professionals do while society is crawling back to old normality?<\/p>\n<p class=\"brz-tp-paragraph brz-css-zMYvo\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"brz-tp-paragraph brz-css-yCMQS\">COVID-19 might have accelerated processes that have started already, and we might never return to the world we lived in before 2020. I\u2019ve been photographing weddings for years, and I learned that a percentage of couples wanted a large wedding only because it was what their parents wished for and often paid for. Those<\/p>\n<p class=\"brz-tp-paragraph brz-css-lsPtt\">couples would probably decide to elope under other circumstances. Will this trend continue?<\/p>\n<p class=\"brz-tp-paragraph brz-css-k7_cB\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"brz-tp-paragraph brz-css-lmwDu\">Weddings as social rituals are steeped in traditions that are hundreds of years old. There has always been something nostalgic about them which doesn\u2019t seem to fit<\/p>\n<p class=\"brz-tp-paragraph brz-css-yTgex\">our modern-day lives. Think oversized ball gown skirts, processionals at the ceremony, tiered cakes and excessive spending on d\u00e9cor, food, entertainment\u2026 Over<\/p>\n<p class=\"brz-tp-paragraph brz-css-iR981\">the past decades, trends have moved in the direction of personalization of weddings, establishing new customs and making weddings more intimate. One of<\/p>\n<p class=\"brz-tp-paragraph brz-css-ti9NS\">the new traditions is the \u201cfirst look\u201d photo session of the couple before the ceremony. We no longer believe in old superstitions such as the one which says<\/p>\n<p class=\"brz-tp-paragraph brz-css-fSMOE\">the groom must not see the bride before the church because it is bad luck. Everything has been modernized from the cake and flowers to guest lists, seating plans,<\/p>\n<p class=\"brz-tp-paragraph brz-css-jYqdp\">sendoffs and honeymoons. Today, anything goes, and massive family gatherings are no longer a norm just like the white dress and a tiered fruitcake.<\/p>\n<p class=\"brz-tp-paragraph brz-css-pekPy\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"brz-tp-paragraph brz-css-dv5lA\">Contemporary weddings have already been stripped of many traditions before COVID-19. After one, two or maybe even three years of living the new normality with the virus, traditional gatherings with hundreds of guests might become ancient history.<\/p>\n<p class=\"brz-tp-paragraph brz-css-awecX\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"brz-tp-paragraph brz-css-n4xRy\">Or are we going to go back to being social and celebrate life as it was before? It is up to us to decide whether we are going to take this opportunity to distance<\/p>\n<p class=\"brz-tp-paragraph brz-css-yNDXP\">from each other and lead even more digital lives or turn back to the old values and be social animals &#8211; organic and natural human beings. Just like weddings<\/p>\n<p class=\"brz-tp-paragraph brz-css-aN765\">themselves, wedding photography won\u2019t cease to exist, but its future largely depends on our choice of the path after the pandemic. Perhaps weddings and big<\/p>\n<p class=\"brz-tp-paragraph brz-css-umUUY\">holidays are the only occasions that used to bring us all together, and now we are in danger of losing that too. Isn\u2019t the future of weddings then also the<\/p>\n<p class=\"brz-tp-paragraph brz-css-sBwar\">future of humanity as we know it?
