Your wedding day is one of the most significant and cherished moments of your life. It’s a day filled with love, joy, and a whirlwind of emotions. While posed portraits have their place, there’s something uniquely special about natural, candid photos – and videos.
These spontaneous shots capture genuine interactions and authentic emotions, preserving the true essence of your celebration. We sat down with Abin Roy, the Business Development Manager at Marrygold in Perth, who works alongside his brother in this family business.
Abin shared his insights on the art of candid photography and videography, and its impact on wedding memories.
Sharing the real story of your wedding day
With happiness and pride, Abin notes, “The wedding industry showcases the beauty of weddings and the side not all people come across. From start to finish, I get to witness lots of excitement and dreams of our clients and love to make them come true.”
Natural, genuine photos and videos where couples can be themselves
Couples love working with the Marrygold team because of their ability to make the pair feel comfortable and relaxed. The team is dedicated to capturing genuine, candid moments that truly reflect each couple’s unique personalities and love story. To every shoot, the team brings a lot of energy and enthusiasm, ensuring the whole experience is fun and memorable.
In fact, clients consistently praise Marrygold for creating an environment where they can be themselves, resulting in timeless photos and films that beautifully encapsulate their special day. “The smile on our clients faces when they are ready to be married as well as all the beautiful settings they are in which is like a dream come true,” Abin tells us.
A dance to remember: unscripted joy
Candid photos and videos are more than just moments taken at a particular time; they are windows into the real emotions and connections shared on your wedding day. When your photographer or videographer captures these spontaneous moments, they tell a story that posed photos or films simply can’t.
Abin tells us, “The most memorable thing I’ve seen at a wedding is where the groom’s grandparents hit the dance floor. They were old but full of life. Watching them slow dance was like witnessing a love story unfolding right before our eyes. You could feel the warmth and history between them. It was so touching. Just goes to show, love knows no age limit.”
This heartwarming moment is a perfect example of the unique and unforgettable memories that candid photography can capture.
Considering candid photography for your wedding day?
One of the main advantages of candid photography is its ability to capture genuine emotions. From the tearful exchange of vows to the joyous laughter during the reception, candid photos reflect the true spirit of the occasion. These unplanned moments are often the most powerful, resonating deeply with couples and their loved ones.
Candid photography also helps in showcasing the personalities of you and your partner, as well as your guests. Whether it’s a playful glance, a shared joke, or a spontaneous dance move, Marrygold captures these images to bring out the unique characteristics that make each wedding special.
What’s more, having candid photos taken allows you as the couples to focus on enjoying your wedding day without the constant interruption of posed shots. This relaxed approach not only puts everyone at ease but also leads to more natural and heartfelt images. Marrygold simply blends into the background, capturing moments as they unfold, ensuring you and your guests feel comfortable and free to be themselves.
What’s Abin’s number one piece of wedding advice?
“My number one piece of wedding advice is to take a breather and soak it all in. The wedding day flies by in a flash, so make sure you pause to really appreciate the love and happiness around you. These are the moments you’ll want to remember forever.”
Oh, and be sure to play “Uptown Funk” by Bruno Mars and Mark Ronson. According to Abin, this is the song that gets everyone on the dance floor!
