Capturing Genuine Moments + Emotions on Your Wedding Day
Weddings are a collection of beautiful, orchestrated events, but it’s often the candid, unposed moments that truly tell the story of your special day. At Edgerly Photography, we believe these ‘candid’ moments add depth and authenticity to your wedding photos, making them genuinely memorable. Here’s why these moments matter and how to create an environment where they naturally occur and can be beautifully captured.
Why ‘In-Between’ Moments Matter
The grand gestures and posed photos are essential, but the real magic lies in the spontaneous emotions and interactions. A glance shared between the couple, a tear wiped away by a parent, or a laugh shared among friends—these moments are raw, real, and unfiltered. They reflect the true essence of your relationship and the joy of your celebration, making your wedding album a vivid and heartfelt narrative rather than just a collection of staged images.
Creating an Environment for Candid Moments
- Relax and Be Present:
One of the best ways to ensure candid moments is to relax and be present in the moment. Forget about the camera and focus on enjoying your day. When you’re genuinely engaged, those spontaneous moments naturally unfold. - Choose a Photographer You Trust:
Build a rapport with your photographer so you feel comfortable and trust them to capture the day as it happens. A good photographer knows how to blend into the background and capture moments without being intrusive. - Encourage Interactions:
Plan activities and moments that encourage interaction among your guests. Whether it’s a fun game, a heartfelt toast, or a lively dance floor, these interactions often lead to genuine, candid moments. - Opt for a Second Shooter:
Having a second photographer can help capture different angles and more candid moments throughout the day. While one focuses on the main events, the other can capture the reactions and interactions happening elsewhere. - Create a Comfortable Atmosphere:
Ensure your wedding environment feels comfortable and inviting for everyone. When guests feel at ease, they’re more likely to act naturally, resulting in more candid photos.
