Let's talk about nailing those candid wedding photos from an Adirondack Wedding Photographer

Updated: Nov 10

Candid Wedding photography isn't a one-size-fits-all style, but candid moments are a must at all weddings! From the ceremony to the speeches and dancing, these unscripted moments capture the true essence of the day. My Adirondack Wedding Photographer approach? Purely candid, no manipulation—just capturing the wedding as it unfolds naturally, with only a few relaxed portraits. So, let's dive into some tips to master those candid shots!

First up, forget about the pressure. Stressing over the perfect pose can actually make your photos just "Eh..". Remember to embrace the chaos and let your natural charm shine through. And if you need a confidence boost, channel your inner supermodel or imagine yourself as your most admired person—it's all about getting into the right mindset.
Next, take a peek those past photos where you looked your absolute best. What were you wearing? What were you doing? How did you feel? Bring yourself back to those winning moments, and don't forget to laugh! A little laughter goes a long way in creating genuine smiles and capturing candid moments.
Let yourself feel the moment! Your wedding day is filled all these micro-moments that will stay in your memories for a lifetime. Don't be afraid to really feel them, cry when you want to cry, hug when you want to hug. Just make sure to be in the now, your photographer will take care of the rest.
But what about those pesky hands? Do what comes naturally, whether it be placing them behind you, holding them together, or putting them in your pockets. Let yourself naturally move, and never forget to embrace your partner with a hand hold, or quick touch to their back.
Finally, take a deep breath and exhale—all those nervous jitters will disappear, leaving you with effortless, carefree photos. So, relax and let's capture some magic with your Adirondack Wedding Photographer!
