When you think about wedding photography or wedding videography, the first images that often come to mind are the "picture-perfect" ones - the posed portraits, the styled flat lays, the meticulously arranged shots where every detail is in its place. And while those images certainly have their value, there's another type of imagery that often becomes more cherished over time: the candid ones. 

Candid photos are the in-between moments, the unposed, unscripted pieces of your day that reveal your truest selves. They're the deep belly laughs, the nervous hand squeezes, the happy tears and the fleeting glances you didn't even realize were happening. And years down the road, it's those little moments that often matter the most.

If you're ready to document your wedding in a way that feels real, timeless and true to you, let's connect. 

It goes beyond appearance and taps into emotion. Rather than staging a scene, it documents what is already unfolding - a tear rolling down your father's cheek during the vows, your grandmother clapping her hands with joy, your friends double over with laughter on the dance floor. 

Posed photos show what your wedding day looked like. Candid photos show what it felt like. 

Traditional wedding photography has long placed emphasis on creating "perfect" images. Think: the bride holding her bouquet at just the right angle, the grooms tie adjusted just so, the wedding party standing in neat rows. These portraits are beautiful, timeless, and they absolutely have their place in your gallery. They're often the photos that make it into frames, thank-you cards, and even the family mantle. 

Right now, you might be thinking about how you want your wedding photos to look polished and flawless. But here's the truth: twenty, thirty, even fifty years from now, what you'll treasure most won't be the "perfect" photos. It'll be the ones that instantly take you back to how it felt to be there. 

Imagine opening your wedding album with your children or grandchildren one day. You turn the page and see the posed bridal portrait - it's beautiful, of course. But then you flip to the photo of your mom zipping up your dress, tears in her eyes. Or the one of your partners face when they saw you for the first time. Or the picture of you barefoot on the dance floor, surrounded by the people you love the most in the world. 

Those are the images that will bring stories to life. They're the ones that spark conversation, stir memory, and make you feel the love all over again. That's the power of candid photography. 

Together we'll create a collection of heirlooms that will let you relive not just how your wedding day looked, bu thow it felt - for generations to come. 

Here's the thing: you don't have to choose between posed & candid photography.. The truth is, the most meaningful wedding galleries are a blend of both. You'll still get those timeless portraits of your family and wedding party - the ones your parents want to frame - and. you'll have the candid images that make your day feel alive every time you look at them. 

Think of it as the best of both worlds. The portraits anchor your day, but the candids breath soul into it. 

At the end of the day, your wedding isn't a photoshoot dedicated to creating a flawless Pinterest board. It's about beginning a marriage, celebrating with the people you love most, and weaving together a story that will last for generations. 

When you invest in candid wedding photography, you're investing in more than pretty pictures. You're investing in legacy - in the ability to relive your wedding day not just as it looked, but as it truly felt. 

Because years from now, when your children and grandchildren ask about your wedding, it won't be the perfectly posed portraits that mean the most. It'll be the photos of real life happening - the laughter, the tears, the joy, the love. Those are the heirlooms you'll pass down. 

If you're planning your wedding and wondering how to make sure your photos feel true to you, here's my advice: lean into authenticity. Don't worry about whether everything looks picture-perfect. Instead, focus on soaking in every moment, big and small. 

Let your photographer tell the full story of your day - the quiet moments, the messy moments, the funny moments, and the breathtaking ones. Because when it comes down to it, those candid photographs aren't just pictures. They're your memories, your story, your legacy. 

And they are the ones that will matter most later.
