SUMMARY
AI presents two potential threats to wedding photography. The first, a distant possibility, involves humanoid robots capable of capturing ceremonies. The second, more immediate threat comes from AI-powered software that automates editing, culling, marketing, and business planning, making it easier for new photographers to establish themselves quickly. This increased accessibility and automation means technical skill is now a baseline, pushing photographers to focus on unique perspective, life experience, and client interaction to differentiate themselves.
