Let’s be honest! Pinterest is full of the same wedding photos over and over again. If you're craving something different, you're in the right place.

At Pixel Groves, we believe wedding photos should reflect you—your quirks, chemistry, creativity, and chaos.

So, we ditch the shot lists and go for images that feel personal, cinematic, and a little unexpected. Here are some of our favorite types of creative wedding pics to inspire your own non-basic love story.

The Silouette Rings | Creative Wedding Pics

Backlighting can turn a simple ring shot into a total showstopper. We love silhouette shots against glowing skies or even moody lighting indoors—it’s a creative twist on the classic ring shot.

Mirror Magic | Creative Wedding Pics

Mirrors are underrated photo gold. Whether it’s a hotel room vanity or a car side mirror, reflections give depth, mystery, and creativity to your shots.

The Motion Blur Moment | Creative Wedding Pics

Photos don’t always need to be tack-sharp. Intentional blur can evoke movement, energy, and emotion, like dancing, spinning, or running. It’s the ultimate “this moment was alive” vibe.

A Frame Within a Frame

This is where composition gets fun. Think doorways, arches, windows, or even hands forming a heart—“frame within a frame” shots are visually striking and totally unique.

Unexpected Angles | Creative Wedding Pics

We’ll shoot from the ground. We’ll climb a ladder. We’ll crouch behind a chair. Getting unexpected angles adds major interest—and turns ordinary moments into standout shots.

Shadow Play | Creative Wedding Pics

Hard light and shadows can make for some bold, dramatic, and totally artsy shots. These are perfect for couples who want something striking and editorial.
