Let’s talk about one of my absolute favourite ways to add some extra energy and joy to your wedding photography: colour smoke grenades.

These little bursts of vibrancy never fail to bring the fun!

Whether you’re planning a bold, alternative wedding or just looking for something a little different to make your photos pop, smoke grenades are a fantastic way to bring your personality into the frame.

Here’s why I love using them, and why you might too:

🎨 They add instant drama

Colour smoke turns an already beautiful photo into a show-stopper. The movement, the texture, the burst of colour - it’s an immediate way to level up your images and add something a little epic.

😄 They’re playful and FUN

Let’s be honest, weddings can be a bit cookie cutter at times. Smoke bombs bring the silliness back. Couples (and guests!) get to let loose, laugh, and enjoy the moment - and that joy absolutely shows in the photos. A genius way to capture candid smiles and helps to break the ice!

💜 They’re a great match for your colour scheme

Smoke grenades come in so many shades, from moody plums to neon pinks and everything in between. Want to tie in your florals, your outfits, or your overall vibe? There’s a smoke for that!

📸 They help create cinematic, unforgettable images

Whether we’re using golden hour light or dramatic skies, the way smoke interacts with the environment is absolute magic. You get depth, atmosphere, and photos that feel like art.
