How a wedding photographer will capture candid moments during your wedding
Wedding photography is an art form that requires a great deal of skill and experience to master. A good wedding photographer will know how to capture all the special moments of a wedding, including the candid moments that often go unnoticed. In this blog post, we will explore some of the techniques and strategies that we will use to capture candid moments during a wedding.
One of the most important things that us as wedding photographers will do to capture candid moments is to blend in with the crowd. This means that they we will be dressed in appropriate attire, so not jeans or lounge wear and will be unobtrusive during the wedding ceremony and reception. We will also be mindful of our movements and will try to avoid getting in the way of the guests or the wedding party. This allows us to capture candid moments without drawing attention to ourselves.
Another important technique that a wedding photographer will use to capture candid moments is to be prepared for anything. This means that we will be ready to quickly change lenses or adjust their camera settings as needed to capture the perfect shot. We will also be ready to capture unexpected moments, such as a child running through the crowd or a spontaneous kiss between the bride and groom.
A wedding photographer will also use a variety of different lenses to capture candid moments. We will use wide-angle lenses to capture the overall scene, while telephoto lenses will be used to capture close-up shots of the wedding party and guests. We will also use zoom lenses to capture candid moments that happen at a distance.
A wedding photographer will also use a variety of different camera settings to capture candid moments. We will use a fast shutter speed to freeze the action and capture sharp images, while a slow shutter speed will be used to capture motion blur and create a sense of movement. We will also use a low aperture to create a shallow depth of field and blur the background, which will draw attention to the subject in the foreground.
Finally, a wedding photographer will use their knowledge of the wedding schedule to capture candid moments. We have been to so many weddings in our career we will know when the key moments of the wedding will occur and will be in the right place at the right time to capture them. For example, we will be ready to capture the moment when the bride and groom see each other for the first time on their wedding day or take their first kiss as a married couple.
In conclusion, capturing candid moments during a wedding is an art form that requires a great deal of skill and experience. A good wedding photographer will blend in with the crowd, be prepared for anything, use a variety of different lenses and camera settings, and use their knowledge of the wedding schedule to capture the perfect shot. With these techniques and strategies, a wedding photographer can capture candid moments that will be cherished for a lifetime.
