I only want candid

laughter, the quiet glances. That natural, documentary style is lovely, but what really makes the difference is a photographer who knows how to move through your day, joining in when needed and stepping back when the moment should just happen.

There will always be parts of the day that are a bit more structured, whether it’s family photos or your couple portraits, and the trick is finding someone who can make these feel relaxed and natural. Someone who knows the right prompts and gentle guidance so you can forget the camera and just enjoy being yourselves. Those are the shots that make people look at their gallery and feel it’s really them, every single time.

That sounds perfect! I’m all for candid photos — they’re the best way to capture those real, authentic moments that tell your story just as it happens. You can leave the posing to me; I’ll guide you naturally when needed so everything still flows beautifully.

Totally get that, most of my couples feel the same! My posing style is super natural and candid, so nothing stiff or awkward. I’ll just give you little prompts that get you laughing or interacting naturally (like walking together, laughing, or holding hands), so the photos still look relaxed and genuine.

We’ll grab a few couple shots, but they’ll still feel like “you,” not posed at all.

Thats a great question!

We work with a number of couples who feel this way lovely, its all very understandable and very common and its our job to help the whole process along by making you feel as comy as possible

We do a mixture of candid plus those 'Mantle Piece' photos (not sure anyone has a mantle piece anymore) But the ones you would want to have framed and hung on the wall, but candid is always the best, a lot more natural with you two ineracting as you usually would 

Have a chat with Anita, she is wonderful and will make you feel at ease right away :)

Hey there, 

It can absolutely feel overwhelming when taking photos. 

I would mention that you do want photos together however you want them to be more candid and have the moments created.
For example, maybe your future spouse whispers in your ear and then you begin laughing. Ask your photographer to be relaxed and calm and have gentle guidance. 

I hope that helps!

You can still look into the camera, be candid and the authentic you, it's our photographer's job to bring that out.

As a wedding photographer, we have an obligation to take some formal portraits of your family and the bridal party at the wedding too. It is for keepsake, some may have special meaning 20 years later. 

Hello, 

we can definitely get candid couple photos 

Hey there!

Candid, authentic and fleeting moments of connection are ALWAYS top of everyone's list - that gorgeous documentary style is something you will get with many photographers.

In my experience, the REAL thing to keep an eye out for is a photographer who knows when to float back and get those shots, and build connections with people so they can float in when a bit of direction is needed. There is generally always a time of your day when there are some more 'structured' photos - whether it's the family shots your parents, aunties and nannas crave OR during your couple shots.

The TRICK is to pick someone who 'makes the camera disappear' during these moments - who knows what prompts, what activities and what YOU both need to forget the shutter button and be your genuine selves - it's THESE shots that makes everyone smile when they see their gallery - a collection of moments that are truly you.
