Why These Moments Matter
These unscripted instants create your true wedding story—raw emotion, genuine connections, spontaneous joy that posed shots can never capture.
Candid Photography FAQ
1. We are awkward in front of cameras—how do you get natural photos?
The best candid photos happen when you forget I am there as I use a documentary approach—blending into the crowd chatting with guests and staying observant to catch real moments as they unfold naturally. This allows you to stay present in the moment while I capture the genuine emotions of the day.
2. Do you shoot candid moments in black and white?
We deliver a mix of color and black and white images as candid emotional moments like a tearful speech or a laugh on the dance floor often look powerful in a timeless monochrome edit. The lack of color can strip away distractions and focus the viewer entirely on the raw feeling of the moment.
3. Do you take family photos or is it 100% candid?
We believe in a healthy balance. While 90% of the day is documented in a candid photojournalistic style we always carve out a specific time for family formals to ensure those important records are kept. This way you get the best of both worlds—natural storytelling and the traditional photos your family will treasure.
