It\u2019s our job as wedding photographers to ensure that the photos tell the story of their day so that they can relive it for years to come. First, you need to know exactly what type of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/what-are-the-different-wedding-photography-styles\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">photography style<\/a> your clients prefer. Most of my clients tell me, \u201cWe don\u2019t want anything cheesy or posed. We want things to feel natural.\u201d With this in mind, I have been able to fine-tune my candid approach over the years.\u00a0<span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">Use the tips below to improve your candid wedding photography and take photos that your clients will cherish forever while also minimizing your level of stress.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Tips for Candid Wedding Photography<\/h2>\n<h3><b>Come Prepared with Questions<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>As I see it, there are two types of candid wedding photography: moments that are entirely unplanned but noticed by the photographer, and those that need some gentle coaxing\u2014 otherwise known as the planned candid, or \u201cplandid.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While many couples say they want completely candid photos, they will still need a little encouragement and guidance. Whether it&#8217;s an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/vanessa-joy-3-tips-engagement-photography-sessions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">engagement session<\/a>, elopement, or 200-person event, I always have about five questions ready as a go-to photo trick. These are questions such as \u201cTell me about your first date\u201d or \u201cWhat is your favorite quality in your spouse?\u201d These prompts can elicit a range of emotions from your couples. Within seconds, the nervousness of being in front of the lens dissolves and tender looks will come across their faces. While I take a step back to let them share their \u00a0memories, I am able to capture some really beautiful candid moments.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_71162\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-71162\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-71162 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/questions-prepared2.jpg\" alt=\"Photo by Erica Reade\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/questions-prepared2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/questions-prepared2-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-71162\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Erica Reade<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><b>Encourage a \u2018First Look\u2019<\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Every <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/12-wedding-photography-tips-for-amateur-photographers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wedding photographer<\/a> should listen carefully to what their clients want instead of pushing a certain agenda. I don\u2019t consider &#8220;first looks&#8221; mandatory, but I do explain the advantages to my clients. A first look is a great opportunity for the couple to get some alone time together as their entire wedding day will be a whirlwind. It is a chance to slow time and really share an intimate moment of excitement about this big step. I stay away from poses that feel too staged or traditionally gendered. Instead, I focus on the couple seeing each other at the exact same time, all dressed up for their wedding day. Those few seconds of overwhelming emotions are priceless.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_71157\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-71157\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-71157 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/first-look.jpg\" alt=\"Photo by Erica Reade\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/first-look.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/first-look-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-71157\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Erica Reade<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><b>Learn to Read Body Language<\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If a couple is holding a pose awkwardly or not responding well to questions, this is not an invitation to just make it work. If I sense that a couple is uncomfortable, I move onto my next question or change the background. Our job as wedding photographers is to make this experience as memorable as possible. It is OK to put down your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/9-best-dslrs-for-wedding-photography\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">camera<\/a> for a moment to ask your couple how they&#8217;re feeling. Checking in throughout the day will assure them that you\u2019re on their side and will elevate their confidence in your ability to capture them at their best.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Use A Little Humor<\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The last thing I want people to feel on their wedding day is stressed or rushed to get their photos done. In fact, I want them to laugh and let go of any camera shyness as quickly as possible. Having some jokes and prompts for that is necessary.<\/p>\n<p>During family photos, once the posed smiling photos have been taken, I ask family members to turn to each other and say hello like they haven\u2019t seen each other in years. I say \u201cGive each other a huge fake laugh\u201d or \u201cPretend you like each other.\u201d\u00a0 These types of silly prompts elicit genuine laughs. Suddenly, everyone forgets there is a camera there and you\u2019ve managed to capture a moment of true happiness.\u00a0<span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_71163\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-71163\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-71163 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/use-a-little-humor.jpg\" alt=\"Photo by Erica Reade\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/use-a-little-humor.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/use-a-little-humor-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-71163\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Erica Reade<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><b>Documenting Candids<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Once the wedding is underway and the shot list is taken, I want to be a fly on the wall documenting special moments without interrupting too much. This means developing an intuition for when to stay close to the couple and when to circulate the venue to capture the moments they\u2019re missing. I want couples to be surprised later when they finally see their photos.\u00a0<span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Move Around: Key Moments with the Couple<\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>While I love to bend the rules, certain moments are never to be missed. Staying close to the couple during the ceremony, first dance, cake cutting and a few songs during the dance party is crucial. Very little <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wedding-poses-for-photographers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">directing or posing<\/a> is needed. You should move around them, shoot from different angles, and quickly turn to get family&#8217;s reactions. This is imperative for capturing a wide range of candid photos. If you are working with a second shooter, this is a great time to send them to capture guest reactions while you focus on the couple.<span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_71158\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-71158\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-71158 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/key-moments.jpg\" alt=\"Photo by Erica Reade\" width=\"800\" height=\"558\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/key-moments.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/key-moments-300x209.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-71158\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Erica Reade<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><b>Mingle &amp; Linger with Wedding Guests<\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Some of my best candid photos are when I linger by a group whose energy or interactions are interesting. In the photo below, this group of college friends asked for a reunion photo and posed for a few shots. When the bride walked by, her newlywed husband grabbed her and gave her a huge kiss. All of his friends broke into wild cheering. If I had left right after the posed photos, I would have missed this great shot.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_71160\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-71160\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-71160 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/mingle-with-guests-erica-reade.jpg\" alt=\"Photo by Erica Reade\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/mingle-with-guests-erica-reade.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/mingle-with-guests-erica-reade-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-71160\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Erica Reade<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><b>Take Care of Your Body<\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Yes, you heard that right. Somewhere along the way, it became taboo for wedding vendors to take a moment to take care of themselves. Weddings can be hard on the body: the days are long, the equipment is heavy, and the temperatures can be all over the place. Before your day starts, do some light stretching and eat a hearty meal. During the wedding day, stay hydrated, use the bathroom, and eat a real meal. This will do wonders for your mood and health and, in turn, improve the quality of your photos. \u00a0This is a small conversation to have with your clients prior to the wedding. Nonetheless, the right couple will understand and want you to be well taken care of so that you can do your job to the best of your ability.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"NormalTextRun BCX4 SCXW208606920\">Candid wedding photography is equally daunting and exhilarating given the lack of control we photographers have over the day. A wedding day can throw any number of factors at you: unpredictable weather, traffic delays, and so on. Not to mention, everyone is on an absolute roller-coaster ride of emotions throughout the day. As the wedding photographer, you sometimes fill in as planner, life coach, friend, therapist, and of course\u2014\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"SpellingError BCX4 SCXW208606920\">documenter<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun BCX4 SCXW208606920\"> of this enormous day.
