Photographers who take the most frame-worthy candid wedding photos

Don’t get us wrong, we love a perfectly posed couple’s portrait as much as the next wedding enthusiast… but there is something extra special about gorgeously candid wedding photos.

Candid photography is an art. There’s a fine line between immortalising honest moments of raw emotion and awkward facial expressions captured when you’re least expecting it. A heartfelt tear at seeing your beloved take to the aisle, your friends and family having a good old belly laugh during the speeches, and stolen “WE DID IT!” glances with your new spouse are all beautiful memories you’ll want to capture. Photos of you halfway through a big bite of food or in a moment of frustration with your new in-laws? Not so much.

A good wedding photographer or videographer will build an easy rapport with you and your guests. The idea is that by the big day, you can celebrate without feeling even a hint of self-consciousness around them. They’ll blend seamlessly with the crowd and ensure they’re in a perfect position to capture incredible candid photos without interrupting the flow of events.
