Instead of staged photos, candid wedding photographers capture natural and spontaneous moments. They usually do these things:
1. Blend In: They quietly move around the wedding venue to capture genuine emotions and interactions without disrupting events.
2. Expect Moments: They anticipate joy, laughter, tears, and other emotions and capture them immediately.
3. Use of Light and Composition: They use natural light and creative composition to enhance wedding storytelling.
4. Build rapport: The couple and guests feel comfortable with them, which helps them capture more genuine moments.
5. Tell a Story: Their photography captures the day and its people.
6. Technical Skills: To produce high-quality images, they are proficient in camera settings, lens selection, and post-processing.
7. Adaptability: They can quickly adapt to changing situations and don't miss important moments.
8. Respect Privacy: They avoid intruding on the couple and guests' private moments by taking photos accordingly.
Confessional wedding photographers aim to capture the emotions and atmosphere of the wedding day in a genuine visual narrative.
