The Importance of Capturing Candid Moments On Your Wedding Day


As a Shropshire wedding photographer, I feel that the best way to capture you and your guests on your wedding day are when everyone is just being themselves. You know the moments, the ones filled with laughter, tears, and hugs? They really show the heart and soul of your wedding day!


While posed shots have their place, it’s the genuine, unscripted interactions that tell your story in the most honest and beautiful way. These candid moments are what you’ll look back on and feel all over again.



Real Emotions, Real Memories


Your wedding day passes in a flash, and it’s easy to miss the little things. That’s why you should consider booking a natural wedding photographer who will capture the moments you didn’t even realise were happening.


One of my favourite shots from a recent wedding was of the bride’s mum helping her into her dress, both of them laughing nervously together. It wasn’t posed, it was real and those are the photos that often mean the most.


At another local wedding, the couple’s little nephew ran up to hug the bride right before the ceremony and the joy on everyone’s faces said it all. Completely unplanned, but completely perfect.

Why Candid Wedding Photos Matter

Candid photography captures the feeling of your day, not just how it looked. When you look through your gallery, you’ll see the full story: the proud looks from your parents, the inside jokes with your bridal party, the random dance moves after a few drinks… it’s you, exactly as you were.


This style of wedding photography I provide creates a gallery filled with natural, heartfelt moments that will mean more with each passing year.
