Capturing candid moments: The art of storytelling through wedding photography

July 17, 2023
Ceremony  ·  Engagement  ·  Family  ·  Wedding

Hey lovely! Today, I want to talk about something really cool—candid wedding photography. You know, those amazing photos that capture the real, unscripted moments at weddings? They’re like snapshots of pure emotion and connection. So, let’s dive into this art form and explore why candid wedding photography is so special.

Now, candid moments are those genuine, unplanned instances that happen naturally throughout the day. They’re the moments that make your heart skip a beat—the laughter, the tears, and all the joy that fills the air. Choosing candid wedding photography means you’re letting your photographer become a ninja observer, quietly snapping away while you and your loved ones do your thing.

To capture those candid moments, photographers have some tricks up their sleeves. They blend into the background, becoming part of the scenery, so you forget they’re even there. This creates a relaxed atmosphere where everyone can be themselves. They also keep an eye out for those fleeting, emotional moments in motion—like that teary-eyed glance or a burst of laughter during a conversation.

Oh, and let’s not forget about the importance of natural light! Candid moments look their best when bathed in that warm, natural glow. So, photographers pay close attention to light sources and adjust their settings accordingly. It’s all about creating that perfect ambiance.

Now, here’s the cool part—candid wedding photography turns your memories into amazing stories. Each candid photo becomes a chapter in the narrative of your special day. From the tears of joy during your vows to the wild dance floor moments, these photos tell the tale of your love story. They capture the real connections between family and friends—the hugs, the laughs, and all the emotions that make your wedding day unforgettable.

And hey, candid photos also reveal those hidden perspectives you might have missed. They show you the behind-the-scenes magic that was happening while you were busy being the stars of the show. It’s like having a secret window into all those little moments that make up your big day.

So, if you’re planning your wedding, consider the magic of candid wedding photography. It’s the art of freezing time and preserving those authentic, unscripted moments that truly define your love story. Trust me, when you look back at your album years from now, those candid shots will transport you right back to the feelings and joy of that incredible day.

It’s 9 months of your life story you’ll never It’s 9 months of your life story you’ll never experience again☀️

I gave into the tiredness with my pregnancies and didn’t do a maternity session and I wish, every time I capture someone’s story, that I could rewind time and have something beautiful to remember from that last trimester (even if most of the time they just sit in a box and you can just travel down memory lane once in a while)

If you’re on the fence, do the photoshoot! You’ll never regret doing the photoshoot but you can quickly regret not doing it.

You don’t even need to buy an outfit, you can select from my client closet of dresses that fit all sizes🤍
