With almost a 20% decrease in 'wedding photographer' searches over the last ten years** and 48% of Brits stating they like the flexibility and creativity of content creators who use smartphones to capture photos on the day – the influence of digital and social on the big day is clear.

In fact, over half of people (51%) feel wedding photography needs modernising and 46% of Brits plan to, or did, use a wedding website or hashtag (42%) to gather the best shots from guests on the special occasion.

What's more, over a quarter (28%) of people would also consider exclusively using photos captured by guests on their big day. While almost a third (31%) would incorporate a photography competition for wedding guests to get the best one.

The research commissioned by HONOR, global smartphone provider, to highlight the new H200 series camera's capabilities with unparalleled images delivered by AI, capturing DSLR-quality light and shadows in every shot. With advanced features, including the AI Eraser function***, users can remove background items, such as people or debris, naturally to producer cleaner and more beautiful photos.

19% state their wedding photography was their biggest wedding day regret, followed by their choice of guests (12%) and venue (12%). Some Brits feel traditional wedding photography can take too long to take and receive (16%), others say they feel a bit dated (12%) or awkward (15%).

Lauren Prichard, wedding content creator at Social Brides Club, commenting on the research findings, said: "Wedding content creation has become a huge part of the wedding industry. A huge benefit is that the content is delivered within 24 hours, meaning that couples can instantly relive their wedding day and share on social media straightaway. We keep in mind the importance of getting 'the shot' for the social media reveal the next day - the all-important just married Instagram post. There will always be a place for professional wedding photography and videography, but galleries can take up to six months to be delivered, so wedding content creation is the perfect addition to go alongside it.

Smartphone behind-the-scenes content captured is a more raw and natural way of capturing wedding memories that we are more used to seeing. With so much going on, for most couples it's all about having as many memories as possible. Every event we attend we take photos and videos on our phone, so hiring a content creator for your special day means that you don't miss out. Some couples use QR codes round the venue to encourage guests to upload their photos via a link, or even use apps that act like a digital disposable camera."

To help guests snap the best portrait photography at weddings in the future Lauren also shared her top tips for getting the perfect shot on your smartphone.

Bond Zhang, Country Manager of HONOR UK, said: "Photography trends are continuing to evolve, and our research findings highlight people are looking for new ways to capture the best portrait photography, even on their wedding days. At HONOR, we know how important capturing breathtaking images are, especially at big occasions like weddings of loved ones. The new H200 series uses AI-driven photographic precision, ensuring you can capture all sides of the subject, differentiating options for portraits, backgrounds, and lighting for perfectly balanced images."

Helping wedding guests have that winning portrait picture edge, the H200 Pro boasts Group Photo Enhance features. Including 'Multi Frame Synthesis' technology to intelligently identify a frame where a person's eyes are closed or facial distortion caused by angle problems and updating this with a better frame, ensuring the perfect group photo every time.
