# Special Day Coupletography Michael and Anna Costa Capture Award-Winning Wedding Photos By Meghan Young | Published 2010-02-28 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/michael-and-anna-costa References: [anotherfaceinthecrowd](http://www.anotherfaceinthecrowd.com/blog/2010/02/couples-photography-by-michael-anne-costa/) & [michaelandannacosta](http://michaelandannacosta.com/) A hopeless romantic at heart (truly, I used to spend hours sobbing over chick flicks while planning my own [white wedding](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-wedding-dresses-1)—though I would like to emphasize ‘used to’), I adore Michael and Anna Costa’s [photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/storylife). I’m not in the least surprised that they have won numerous awards for their work. Featured Grace Ormonde Wedding Style, Destination iDo, Professional Photographer Magazine and more, I suggest you take a look at a few samples of their photos above. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 75% | Activity: 25% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Romance](https://www.trendhunter.com/romance) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Romantic Wedding Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop AI-powered editing software that enhances romantic elements in wedding photos, creating a unique and personalized touch. - **Award-winning Wedding Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introduce virtual reality (VR) wedding experiences where couples can relive their special day as if they were there, leveraging the power of VR technology. - **Featured Photography Publications:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create an online platform that provides aspiring photographers with access to renowned industry publications, offering exposure and networking opportunities. ### Who This Affects Most - **Wedding Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate drone technology into wedding photography to capture unique aerial shots and add a new perspective to wedding albums. - **AI Image Editing Software:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop AI-powered image editing software specifically tailored for wedding photographers, simplifying and enhancing the editing process. - **Virtual Reality (VR):** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with wedding planners to create immersive virtual reality experiences that allow couples to preview their wedding setup and make informed decisions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Artful Wedding Stationery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minted-x-the-met-wedding-collection.md) - [Wedding Time Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/posttoforever.md) - [Hybrid Wedding Planning Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/power-couple.md) - [Unique Wedding Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/love-on-the-ledge.md) - [Iconically Located Wedding Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/times-square-this-valentines.md) - [Milestone-Marking Relationship Maps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lovecation-moments.md) - [Audio Guest Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fetefone.md) - [Preserved Flower Keepsakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flower-preservation.md) - [Unique Hotel Wedding Packages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/karisma-hotels-resorts.md)
