For a stunning memories of your nuptials, consider these five wedding photography trends:

Photojournalism/reportage photography. We've covered this pretty thoroughly, but in case you need a refresher course, photojournalism or reportage photography follows the journalistic approach of documenting the wedding as if it were a feature story.

Strict photojournalists won't dare to pose or stage any pictures, preferring instead to capture the moments as they happen. Most frequently these days, you'll run across reportage wedding photographers who combine photojournalistic and traditional wedding photography to form a sort of hybrid of the two.

Fashion or fine-art shots. This wedding photography trend is all about the glamour. Look at the photo shoots you see in high-end fashion magazines, and picture yourself as the model. This is all about the lighting, the posing, and naturally, the clothes. Fashion or fine-art shots can give a couple a spectacular wedding album.

Unique posing. While wedding photography trends are moving away a bit from posing, it's also shifting to a different type of posing where the shot is staged, but in an unexpected way. An example would be posing the groom sitting in a pew at the front of the church, then staging his groomsmen sitting in various pews behind him.

Boudoir photography. Done before the wedding, this is a special type of photography for both the bride and groom. It focuses on showing off the bride's beauty as a special gift to the groom - but don't think it's X-rated. Instead, it gives glimpses of the bride's sexiness without revealing it all. Think pin-up girl, not Playboy model.

Trash-the-dress photography. Shot after the wedding, trash-the-dress is a wedding photography trend that bids farewell to the bride's wedding dress by getting down and dirty. Sometimes this photo shoot features the couple, sometimes only the bride, depending on what type of photos they want. If you want to save your dress for your daughter or can't fathom ruining something that may have cost you thousands of dollars, this wedding photography trend is not for you!
