Candid Photos: The Power of Raw Emotion For Your Wedding

09/05/2023

Imagine looking back at your wedding album and seeing the pure. Unfiltered joy of that magical day. That’s what candid shots bring to life. The raw, heartfelt emotions you share with your partner are perfectly encapsulated in those unplanned moments

Wedding days are all about love, laughter, and tears (happy ones, of course!). So why not capture those genuine feelings as they unfold? Candid photography or natural photography allows us to witness and remember the real connection between two souls.

Some candid photos of a beautiful bride and her bridesmaids share a serene moment, chatting and laughing, as they prepare for the wedding day in the tranquil afternoon.

From stolen glances across the room to fits of laughter shared among friends. These spontaneous snaps can tell a story more powerful than any posed portrait ever could. Your wedding photographer should be like a photojournalist. Unobtrusively catching the essence of your big day while staying out of the spotlight themselves – after all, it’s YOUR love story.

Candid for Pre-Wedding Session

A candid approach isn’t just limited to the actual wedding day. Pre-wedding shoots can also benefit from this style. Giving you both an opportunity to relax, have fun, and showcase who you truly are as a couple. Plus, casual clothes and locations will only add to the authenticity.

When choosing your wedding photographer, consider someone who understands how important these intimate moments are. They’ll blend seamlessly into your day, snapping away behind-the-scenes gems without interrupting or adding unnecessary stress.

In Widfotografia, we’re a big fan of capturing candid or natural. However we also understands our couples might want some posed photos too. Therefore, in our questionnaire form, we ask you whether you want a bit more posed or candid or a good mix of both.

So, brides-to-be, embrace the raw emotion of your special day. By incorporating candid shots into your wedding photography. You’ll look back on these images for years to come, grateful for the glimpses of true happiness and honest connections they provide. Trust us; you won’t regret capturing the magic that unfolds when you’re simply being yourselves.
