Posed photos are fine. Necessary, even. Your mum will absolutely want one of you both smiling directly at the camera like the nice, polite humans she raised. But when it comes to the photos that actually hit the heart years later the ones you keep coming back to, it’s always the candid ones. The messy ones. The emotional ones. The ones you didn’t even know I was taking.

Candid photography captures who you really are. Posed shots capture how you think you should look. And look, we’ll do the nice portrait stuff because those are classics, but the real gold lies in the quiet moments your partner squeezing your hand during the ceremony, your dad wiping his eyes when he thinks no one’s looking, your best friend losing their mind on the dance floor.

These are the photos that tell your story, not just your schedule. They’re honest, unfiltered, beautifully imperfect, and full of emotion. That’s why I shoot candid-first it’s real life, real love, real connection. And trust me, that will always matter more than a perfectly symmetrical chin tilt.
